Lovely modern, spacious property.

Lovely modern, spacious property. Very comfortable and well appointed, comfy beds with nice linen. Perfect location in the middle of Russell. The only thing I would change is to suggest the gardener/maintenance guy use a broom instead of a leaf blower!

Very nice property, but we consider it was overpriced... Note that the pool, jacuzzi spa and BBQ area are a short walk away, and shared with around 20 other properties, so not as intimate or convenient as you may expect.

Property/location were both lovely but both the meet/greet and departure were bizarre - especially the check out process which was more akin to a property inspection after a lengthy stay, uncomfortable.

The cottage is perfectly placed within a delightful development a short stroll from the Strand and the centre of Russell. We love Russell, love the cottage and the surrounding environment, love the pool. Wish we could have stayed longer. The cottage itself has everything you could need for a home away from home.

Great location! Very clean and comfortable.

Great location! Very clean and comfortable. Lovely fresh linens! Great bathrooms as well. We were a family of 5 and enjoyed the space. Highly recommend Fuller's boat trip out to Cape Brett with dolphin/ whale adventure. Took ferry over and walked up to Waitangi Treaty House, nice walk, beautiful grounds. Russell museum worth the price. Friendly folks at 4 square. Great spot!
