Ocean Front Paradise. Bring Boat and Relax. 30% off stays over 28 days!

Welcome to our ocean front island home. Bring a boat & relax with 180 degree ocean views from our two decks. Directly on the ocean with a private dock. 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. The quiet neighbourhood is patrolled by the RI police to enforce noise restrictions after 10pm vehicle and speed limits.

Spectacular views!
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.

Fantastic waterfront holiday stay
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.

Fun on and off the bay.
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.

Relaxing short getaway for sunsets and birdlife
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.

Mud
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.

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.

Mid week respite
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
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.
