6 Bedroom House in Russell
Welcome to The Sunshine House! Named perfectly by our 7-year-old beacause of its true characteristics - it is light, spacious and sunny all day long! Lush palm trees and native planting surround this property & the elevated vista is an instant holiday vibe!
π
The perfect accommodation for a large family or two whole families that want a holiday together! The Sunshine House can sleep 17 with the beds that are set up. Plus 3 infants in the cots that are here. Bring Grandma and Grandpa, the extended family and friends! This house beautifully accomodates large groups wanting to enjoy the best the Bay of Islands has to offer.

Essentially two houses in one that work autonomously from each other; the upstairs has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a well-equipped large kitchen flowing into an open-plan dining and inviting lounge with views of the sea out over historic Russell village.
Enjoy the luxury of two bathrooms upstairs, one that has a bath and one that has a shower and is fitted with a washer and dryer.
The Master bedroom has a super king bed and views out onto the wraparound deck. The Sunshine room is the first to get the sun's rays in the morning and has two king singles. They can be separated or joined to make a California King size bed. The third room - 'Nautical room' - has a queen bed and a foldup wooden cot for baby or toddler.

Enjoy the flat, sheltered courtyard with native plants & birdlife just outside the upstairs kitchen. With a webber bbq, a raised bed garden for your fresh herbs and a wrap-around deck with plenty of spots for outdoor dining...you'll enjoy outdoor dining throughout your stay.
