Located right in the heart of downtown Russell. Convenient walk to all locations. The property is a cozy, well appointed small house with plenty of space for two. Everything was in order and working well.

"Very Good"

7.0

The location was great with the ability to park on the grass, off the road, in front of The Little Red Shed. We turned off the car when we arrived and didn't turn it on again until we left. Very easy to walk around Russell, which is also the best way to see the area. The Little Red Shed itself is quirky and unique, and definitely has a rustic character, which you need to be prepared for. It had all the amenities expected, and the shower water pressure was very good.

Although the The Little Red Shed is very convenient to the town, being just a couple of streets back from the waterfront, the back of the Nauti Penguin Pub marquee is just on the other side of the road from The Little Red Shed so it can be a little noisy in the afternoon with live music etc, though this doesn't go into the night. The Little Red Shed sits between two double story buildings so felt a little surrounded. Some of the fixtures and furnishings are looking a bit tired. We think it was a bit pricey for what it was. We enjoyed our stay but would probably look at other places to stay in Russell in the future.

"Comfortable, spacious, warm and very well appointed."

9.0

Very central and an easy walk to everything in the village. Warm & comfortable with the panel and oil heaters keeping the winter chill out. Heaps of space despite the "Little Red Shed" name. Well appointed with everything you need. Being related to the Baker family who built the house and shed gave us a real connection.
