Ideally situated unit

Ideal location as it was quiet and just a pleasant short walk to the shops. Jane and Geoff and Miri were very welcoming. On arrival they gave us some lovely grapefruit marmalade for our morning toast. The unit had everything we needed.

Cute wee flat

A cute wee flat with everything you need. Jane gave us clear instructions on how to find it and very kindly supplied milk, bread, butter and homemade jam as well as fresh bananas from her own tree on the property. Everything was very clean and the bed was warm and comfortable. Jane was super friendly and helpful with information about things to see and do. It was a lovely introduction to Russell.

About the host

Hosted by Janeinrussell

My husband Geoff and I moved to Russell in 2000 from Auckland for lifestyle reasons. Both of us had previously had corporate careers in the ICT industry but we appreciate living in a small community that is friendly and caring. I am a volunteer St John Ambulance officer and run a tall ship, the R. Tucker Thompson, that operates tourism sailings during summer, that fund youth development voyages over winter. Geoff is retired and has a boat project that he is working on in the garden of our home, which is upstairs from the apartment.
