We provide 3 kayaks to explore, 2 bikes to cruise or grab some groceries, a fully equiped kitchen and a covered BBQ entertainment area to cook your daily catch. We have designed the house to comfortably sleep 8 people. You can travel here by high speed foot ferry, car barge, or boat.
This is our personal family holiday home and we ask that you respect our house as we use it with our children and holiday here often to relax and kayak. We have taken a lot of time and effort to create a tranquil retreat and hope you appreciate the results. Once you arrive you will be greeted by a calm, friendly, welcoming community. There is an IGA, post office, bottle shop and hardware store walking distance from the foot ferry. Our home is designed with a fully equiped kitchen, outdoor BBQ, and a selection of eating areas. The best part is that you have an ocean view from all the decks, seating areas, bathroom and master bedroom. The front of the house has beautifully maintained gardens, shady trees and you will see and hear gentle wildlife that is not seen in the city. 100 meters from the the house you will find a park to fish from the bank or bike or walk the trails.
The Russell Island RSL has a great menu for lunch and dinner. They offer a free bus to and from your location. Call (07) 3409 1372 for Bistro and bus bookings.
Please note that this is a family neighbourhood and is NOT a party house. The attraction to this family home is the attention to detail for families who want to relax and require items for children.

We had 3 very relaxing nights here. The photos online definitely didn’t do it justice, it’s was even better in real life. The views and the set out were exceptional. Hearing the water lapping at night just topped off how whole experience.

House is right on the water, great for fishing and relaxing. A little old but clean and tidy with all mod cons made for a comfortable stay. If your aim is to chill out and enjoy family time, this is the place.

We had a family weekend away with young and old, and everyone enjoyed their stay. The home came with everything you need including fishing rods and bait. A great location with a beautiful sunset as you enjoy an evening drink on the balcony. Thank you to the host!

We were blown away with how beautiful this house is, you are on the water and can enjoy everything Russell island has to offer from the back door. We stayed for a month and couldn’t fault anything the hosts were quick with communication and made our stay there a breeze! We will be recommending this house to anyone that stays on Russell.

The property makes the most of its setting. The bay dominates.
Very special is the open-air dining area with easy access to the kitchen, and also to the indoor dining table.
This allowed teenagers and children to eat at one table while adults enjoyed the open-air space, but with good communication between the two groups. If needed, each table could sit eight.
The bedrooms are comfortable without being luxurious.
We made a lot of use of the four kayaks. A great way to get children and teenagers away from electronic entertainment! The bikes also got a workout.
We appreciated the pet-friendliness. The fact that the property is away from any significant road traffic meant meant it was easy to let the dogs get some exercise chasing a ball outside or taking a 2k round trip.
Everyone enjoyed themselves with a lot of laughs. This is a reflection of the quality of the venue.
8.0
Stayed for 2 nights with our teenage children, and we enjoyed our stay. The house is clean, spacious, open planned, with a gorgeous outlook to the water. The sunset was absolutely spectacular. The kitchen has a beautiful outlook over water. A nest of prey birds not far away - loved watching them swoop fish out of the water. Even the toilet has a nice view.
The house is on the far end of the island from the jetty - we got a taxi there (cheap taxi ride), and settled in for the whole time, as it is a bit of a distance from anywhere. Only one bike was in action when we were there - they need a bit of TLC, which was a bit disappointing. The gusty winds at high tide also wasn't in our favour to spend much time on the paddle boards, but we had a go, and tried our luck with the crab pots. If you have a still day at high tide, the paddle boards would be great, but we were getting blown into the shore. You really need to launch them at high tide, as there is a decent amount of mud at low tide.
The best part of our stay was hanging out on the decks and lazing in the hammock at sunset, and watching the bird life. My kids enjoyed having a fish from the nearby rocks. I recommend this house for a quiet and relaxed lazy getaway, for bird life and sunsets.

Lovely property and nice quiet location. However you do need to have a car if wishing to see the rest of the island, or go out for meals.
Thank You Raisa and Peter

The weather was against us for our stay as the wind made water sports very difficult combined with low tide most of the day exposing copious amounts of mud with the occasional sharp coral designed to slice into feet.

A perfect getaway for relaxing.
We have never seen a holiday property with so many kitchen utensils, salad bowls/platters and so many other little thoughtful extras supplied by the hosts.
We had a wonderful time - Thank you.

Very clean. Nice house layout. Wonderful Views. More comfortable lounges would be good. (Could spoil people with recliner or 2).
Midges bad last 2 days during our week stay, but that goes with the island I guess). Came away very refreshed thankyou.

The house was pleasing upon pulling into the driveway. Neat and tidy.
The house itself is welcoming and airy with a beachy feel. We only used the main bedroom which has plenty of room and a comphy bed.
It was nice to be able to see the view from all areas of the bathroom. 💩 with a view.. 😁
2 deck areas were great.. but take this advice.. Stop in at the IGA abd buy some "SHOO" insect spray the other stuff jyst does not do anything for the midges when they decide to visit.
We caught several decent flathead off the backyard between the white posts in the water. We enjoyed our stay and would have liked a few more days to chill and use the kayaks and bikes. supplied. 9 outa 10 for sure..

Lovely property, amazing views, very relaxing. Love that it's set up to accommodate kids. There are a lot of extra niceties, including the downstairs area with kayaks, bikes, fishing gear etc.
Unfortunately there is not a lot of accommodation available on this island so it is a captive market. The extra guest and administration fees are exorbitant.

A beautiful property for that much needed unwind. The location is so peaceful and the use of a kayaks was certainly a bonus for the “boys”. Thank you so much

Waterfront was the saving grace. High tide and kayaks enjoyed.
After asking the owner about the statement on the website that breakfast was provided and receiving a reply that the basics were, I was amused that we found one opened packet of porridge oats, an opened jar of peanut butter, 2 lots of sugar, and the usual tea and coffees! We were, of course, self-sufficient. Because of our booked number, the sofa bed was to be used: sheets were provided but not pillows or p/slips. We enjoyed sitting on the front deck and wished there were more chairs there to save bringing out from inside or from downstairs. Problems encountered e.g. the ensuite shower were promptly attended to, and we moved the black/grey mat from the bottom of the black carpeted step on the 2nd deck after a bad fall. All in all, however, we were a happy adult group.

Fantastic Spot
This property has the wow factor from walking in, the water is on your doorstep and its the perfect place to unwind. The dogs loved splashing about in the almost secluded stretch of water, great walks and we even had a go in the kayaks. You could sit on the decks and just watch the sun go down every evening - spectacular! Great communication with the host everything there that you need - just take some bug repellant, i got eaten to death with midgies. If you want some peace and quiet this is the spot, will definitely be back.

This property is beautifully set up for a holiday on Russell Island. The house is spacious and very comfortable with lovely views over the water and stunning sunset viewing! Communication with the hosts was easy, prompt and helpful.We took out the kayaks to explore on the water and had fun with the crab pots. There certainly are plenty of crabs around, just watch your fingers and make sure you put back the Jennies and undersized ones!! The neighbours are extremely friendly and helpful (particularly with crab cooking), it has a real family/community feel which is great for a relaxed holiday. There is a requirement for heavy duty insect repellant in the summer months, the locals recommend Rid.

Just beautiful
As a mum who works and is constantly running around after the children with sport, school etc, this amazing getaway was perfect for me. It was so quite, amazing views of the water, you could hear the water through most of the house, it was super clean and had everything there for you to use. The owners really had thought of everything when preparing the house for holiday rental. Will be back again real soon 😊

Excellent family holiday
The house cannot be any closer to the water with the most wonderful views from alot of rooms in the house. There was plenty of room for my husband and I and our 5 children. The kitchen was well equipped and having Woolworths deliver our groceries as we arrived was perfect. The bedrooms are large. There is a good boat ramp 5 minutes down the road which allowed easy launching of our boat. The host responded very quickly to messages. Great to be able to launch the kyaks and throw out the crab pots at the back of the house. A wonderful holiday experience and we would love to come back.
