Make Enquiry About Gull Cottage
Gull Cottage - well equipped, character cottage in fantastic location overlooking harbour / wharf at Russell. Part of its charm are the steep cabin stairs to 2 downstairs bedrooms and outside (flush)
toilet so make sure it will suit your party's needs. If it does then you're in for a great stay. We've stayed twice and happy to recommend.

We had yet another wonderful stay in Gull Cottage. It is a really lovely old cottage, and we enjoy all the quaintness that it comes with :)
Cramer - February 10
Gull Cottage is beautiful - unbelievable views over the bay; short walk to the gorgeous town of Russell built along the water; quiet with simply beautiful gardens. We loved it, but you need to be nimble as there are 40+ steps from the street to the house; (cars left at street level); and a very steep narrow staircase (a "captain's staircase like on a ship) inside to the 2 downstairs bedrooms (with bathroom on top floor). We had a perfect week there in one of the most beautiful places in the world. The only thing that would make the house more perfect is having a downstairs bathroom!
