Quaint 2 Bedroom (sleeps 8 at a push) Cedar Cottage for Holiday Letting on Russell Island. The house is a fully functional home away from home with TV, DVD, CD, Surround Sound, Microwave, Fridge Freezer, Ceramic Cook Top, Under Bench Oven and reverse cycle Airconditioning.
The master bedroom is set up for the romantic evening with that special someone, featuring a queen sized bed and flowing canapy overhead. The second bedroom is equipped with two sets of bunks (double on the bottom and single on the top). A washing machine and clothes line are provided for your convenience.
Food is not supplied, however there is a local Supermarket on the Island for your everyday needs. The Island also boasts and a small cafe, where the coffee is hot and the food pretty good, you can enjoy it while overlooking the bay. There are also two clubs with courtesy buses available so you can enjoy an evening meal and a couple of drinks.
The home is positioned in a bush setting (nice and quiet) with bird life galore. 12 resident Kookaburra's frequent the trees in the neighbouring bush. Kurloo's scurry about in the evening and you will regularly see Kites flying overhead. The birdlife on Russell is amazing, with swamp hens pecking on the side of the main road, ducks, lorikeets and galahs all sharing food at the local real estate office. Two resident pelicans frequent the main jetty on dusk most evenings and a large colony of black swans live in the first bay past the jetty.

Everything was there in the cottage.
Excellent cottage, the best we have stayed in so far.
Debbie and Slade are a wonderful couple, who have set the cottage up so that you can just walk in and feel at home.
Peace and quite.
We took our 2 year old son with us, we all had a wonderful time.
Thank you Debbie and Slade.
Don't be fooled into thinking it's just for couples either - we took our 2 boys (8 & 5yrs old) over Easter and they had a ball. Plenty of room for them to run around outside, plus we drove around the island and went fishing and swimming.
We ate lunch at Aunty Alice's Cafe and had dinner at the Bowls Club, both lovely meals, but the most enjoyable meal we had was a BBQ at the Love Shack on our first night.
A very relaxing get-away, without giving up life's little luxuries. Would recommend it in a heart beat!
