Excellent stay, great host, amazing views.

We stayed at this lovely home during Cyclone Tam. If you have to be storm stayed, this is the place to do it. Lovely, clean, well appointed, and spacious with incredible views. Host was so kind and even brought us a portable stove during power outage. Would definitely stay again.

Great stay in Russell

Fantastic apartment with 3 good sized bedrooms and unparalleled views of the bay. Great location within 10 minutes of town and right next to The Flagstaff hike starting point. We parked our car for 4 days and did not need to use it once! Well stocked kitchen and BBQ. Would highly recommend .

Wonderful Bach

We were so very pleased with our week long stay. The location just minutes to Russell was perfect for our vacation plans. The view and sunsets were stunning and especially wonderful from the large deck accompanied by bird song. The house (aka Bach) had all of the required amenities and was spotless. Thanks again for the memorable stay!

Spacious Stay

This accommodation speaks cleanliness and space! It is well located to easily access the amenities of Russell. The restaurant/pub below is non-intrusive. The patio doors and balcony enable fresh air and entertainment while watching the activities taking place below it. The ratu tree directly outside the patio doors limits the view across the bay but at the same time adds beauty to this artistically inspired space.

Paradise and more.

I wish I could give six stars- The place was exactly as described and very clean and tidy and beautifully situated on the shore. What I did not expect was the exceptionally warm welcome and kindness of the Starr family. Not to mention Shakey the dog! Do not hesitate to book this place.
