This cottage is gorgeous! Well situated within the town, easily walkable from the ferry. Charming decor and comfortable seating. The property views are delightful with a wide variety of fruit trees and visiting birds. Kitchen is well equipped, and everything worked as described. Road seemed to be a bit of a thoroughfare, so not silent, but not annoying either. Would definitely stay here again!

Our happy place

We have been holidaying in Russell for several years and were not disappointed with this character property, which has been thoughtfully renovated. It is an easy 2-minute walk to the waterfront and high street. Carrie was great to deal with, and we would definitely stay there again.

Really cute yet spacious house right in centre of Russell within 3 minute walk of the seafront. We loved being able to visit the museums and restaurants, wharf and supermarket on foot. We also enjoyed the 20 minute walk to Long Beach and the walking tracks to Flagstaff Hill.The cottage was very homely and comfortable and the kitchen exceptionally well stocked.The huge deck and garden were wonderful added bonuses.Thank you to Carrie for being so accommodating, helpful and communicative both before and during our stay!

Charming Cottage

Carrie’s cottage has everything you need to feel comfortable and right at home. Fabulous location. Easy walk to historic Russell’s shops and waterfront dining. Quick drive to beautiful Long Beach for swimming and beachcombing. The Russell Boating Club at the end of Matauwhi St has fantastic food and views. We loved chilling out on Carrie’s deck.

Quaint Cottage

What a delightful cottage! Clean and comfortable, with charming, slightly quirky décor that is quite enchanting. The kitchen is modern, spacious, and well stocked with saucepans etc if you wish to cook, but it is an easy walk to Russell restaurant, shops, and waterfront. The bathroom is small but efficient and has been nicely updated. I hope we have another opportunity to stay!

Perfect location in heart of Russell, easy walk to everything you need and short drive to the beach.

Perfect location in heart of Russell, easy walk to everything you need and short drive to the beach. Lovely character bach. We arrived just after a huge storm and everything was well in order but just a minor thing due to the weather there were a lot of smashed pears on the footpath we had to clear to get our luggage in. Otherwise all great!

Great place and excellent location.

Great place and excellent location. Unfortunately it rained for most of the week we were there so it was great to have a big tv with Sky television. The modern kitchen and appliances were also great. The place is child friendly and my two little ones (2 years old) enjoyed running up the hilly back garden. The bird life was fantastic, especially seeing a Weka! It was a very comfortable stay, almost like staying at families - which to our surprise, it turned out we were related :)
