    Set above the gables restaurant, the place is on the strand with unbeatable ocean view.The only downside is noise from the gables when they play music below. Didn’t worry us, but some others might not like that. Place was clean, with tons of character.

    We had 2 couples stay for a wedding at the duke. We loved the location. The apartment was clean and walking distance to restaurants and shopsIt had a nice homely feel to the place and was really well stocked in the kitchen— we would happily stay again.

    Lovely place to stay with everything you need in the apartment. Beach right in front. Restaurant beneath the apartment was just the best.

    This accommodation speaks cleanliness and space! It is well located to easily access the amenities of Russell. The restaurant/pub below is non-intrusive. The patio doors and balcony enable fresh air and entertainment while watching the activities taking place below it. The ratu tree directly outside the patio doors limits the view across the bay but at the same time adds beauty to this artistically inspired space.

    This is our second time at this property as a family, and we had a wonderful stay. The house is clean, comfortable and stylish, the location central and iconic. Would recommend.
