The Nest

A cosy one-bedroom hideaway for two, right on Russell’s waterfront. Wake up to beach views, cook in the handy kitchenette, and finish the day with a BBQ and a sunset drink in the outdoor seating area. Guests often tell us it’s bigger than it looks in the photos – and it’s been freshly updated.

The beach, the wharf and Russell’s cafés and restaurants are all a short stroll away, with off-street parking right outside. Kayaks and a paddleboard are shared with The Boathouse next door.
