What are the best villa rentals with a pool in Russell?
Russell enjoys a mild climate year-round, but the best time to visit is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny.

There are some lovely walks around Russell. The Russell Hill Track is a short but rewarding climb with fantastic views of the harbour.
