We just spent a lovely 5 day getaway in Russell. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Robin and Rick's plum tree cottage. The space well laid out with a small kitchen, living area, spacious bathroom and outdoor deck area surrounded by beautiful gardens. The best things about this place is the quiet setting, the awesome chairs on the deck and the shower. It's an easy 20 minute walk to Russell town centre and probably 25- 30 on the way back(its uphill, depends on how may beers you have had and if you are wearing heels)! All in all a lovely stay.
