An Amazing Space in the heart of Russell

The Little Red Shed. A hidden gem in the heart of Russell in the Bay of Islands. We're just a 2 minute flat walk to the Russell waterfront, shops and restaurants.

We are fully self contained with Sky TV, Free Fibre Wi-Fi, BBQ area and more.

The Little Red Shed is attached the The White House 'Te Wharema' which was built in 1840. The shed was built in around 1860. We have totally renovated her inside yet the outside still keeps the charm of 'An old Red Shed'. You get the best of both worlds.

Amazing Red Shed

Stayed for 8 nights. Amazing property with everything you could ask for for a very comfortable stay. Private outside space is great and only a stroll to all the bars and eateries. Beautiful Long Beach is a short walk away. We hope we can get back very soon.
