Rachel’s place is beautiful, clean, and quiet. Though a quick drive outside Russell, the location next to the beach can’t be beat—loved sleeping to the sounds of the ocean. The unit seems newly renovated with a well-appointed kitchen and bathroom. The bed was comfy with high quality linens. Made for a great base to laze around in the mornings and to head back to between an afternoon at Omata Winery and dinner at Paroa Bay. Looking forward to staying again... also as my boyfriend is already desperately missing cute kitty, Balu.
