It's perfect for a couple to relax and get away from it all. With a view of Tapeka Beach and the bay, it's very peaceful. The wraparound porch is great for relaxing. If it gets windy, just move to another side. The kitchen is well furnished, everything we needed to cook at home some nights. Other nights, Restaurants in Russell are just 2km away. Lots of sliding doors to let in the fresh air. We didn't need heat or air conditioning. ##### Charles M.

This property is the best - even better than described, with very attentive hosts, well appointed, excellent amenities, and the perfect place to unwind. We thought we had arrived in heaven, though St Peter was nowhere to be found, so no embarrassing admissions required on arrival. Watch or walk the beach; walk to Russell to earn coffee and treats (lovely bushwalk with a hill at the Russell end); walk to the peak behind the Bach; treat this as a destination in itself - such a beautiful setting. ##### Helen L.
