Wonderful Beachfront on Russell Long Beach
A perfect base to explore all of the Bay of Island attractions. The bach is clean, comfortable and well equipped. The view from the deck is stunning and falling asleep to the sound of gentle waves was a real treat.

Just right
Long beach is a beautiful golden sand beach facing East with fabulous views out into the Islands. The house had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. You go to sleep to the sound of the little waves and wake up to bird call. Just lovely.

Perfect long weekend.
Beach front comfort in perfect weather. Quiet contemplation just 3 minutes from “downtown” Russell cuisine. We swam in the cool, clear blue sea and lazed on the deck in the warm sun, watching the morning the dog walkers with their coffees from the cart at the west end of the beach.

Absolutely stunning location
Throughly enjoyed my stay as did my family. Beach house was well set out and had all you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. You couldn't ask for a more stunning location with the beach and sea to enjoy right on your door step. Russell township is just over the hill so you are very handy to restaurants, very good grocery store etc. Thank you Katie for the use of your beach house, we loved our stay.

Why they chose this property

This is a family property bought by by grand parents when there were very few people living at Long Beach. It has been passed down the generations and is now owned by my sister and myself, being a place we both like to escape to whenever time permits.

What makes this property unique

Safe beach for swimming or lie back, relax, and read a book . Expansive
views over the bay.
