If you’re hoping for a quiet and relaxing getaway this is a great place! The home is relaxing and has your basic needs covered. A short walk down the hill leads to a quiet bay that is perfect for enjoying being close to the water. The deck has a lovely table and chairs to enjoy sitting outside. We were able to visit Paihia by ferry. It was a good one day trip for us. We were so thankful we chose to stay in Russell. The views and atmosphere are amazing. Plus the town has sweet shops and restaurants to enjoy. We wish we could have stayed even longer. Thanks Liz!
