Captain’s Lookout
With 180 degree views of the Russell Wharf, township and Veronica
Channel beyond, the Captain’s Lookout at Russell is one of the best
spots to soak up the delights of the Bay of Islands whilst only being 5
minutes walk from the Russell shops, cafes and bars. The charming ‘Zig
Zag’ track 1 house away takes you down to the village.
Beautifully renovated, this original 1960’s weatherboard home makes the
most of its location, and also features all the luxuries you enjoy at
home.
With sun drenched decks off the lounge and two of the three bedrooms,
you can soak up the outstanding views from many spots. Luxuries include
Sky Digital TV, LCD TV and DVD player, quality CD hi fi with an iPod
connection, PlayStation, modern kitchen and laundry, and brand new
carpeting and furniture throughout.

feel.
The second bedroom is a large room with ample space to spread out.
