What a wonderful time we had at the most idyllic setting one could imagine - spotlessly clean, super safe for little ones with the fully fenced deck and so very tranquil on the waters edge - thanks again for sharing your beautiful space with us!

Everything we needed. Clean, tidy, comfortable, on the water, and a short walk to Russell for a meal.

House was neat, clean and spacious. Liked the location of the house from town - just not location next to the noisy busy main road. Enjoyed evenings on the back deck watching tide come and go.

Perfect getaway in the most beautiful setting. Just enough for 2 for the 5 nights we had. Even though it was a cold week we were cosy.

Location is fantastic.The experience for longer stay guests could be improved by having spare towels, a vacuum cleaner, washing machine and drier.The amenities and furnishings don’t match the fantastic location.Plumbing and drainage are patchy.

Hi Rob, We're glad you enjoyed the location. We will include spare towels for longer stays, add a vacuum cleaner and check out the drainage this weekend to ensure everything is working. Thanks for your feedback and suggestions.
