Historic Lake Russell Gallery Sanctuary - Emerald Beach
About this house rental
Located in Emerald Beach, this lovely house for $227 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. This historic architect designed and built lake front dwelling is a truly unique destination, minutes north of the Coffs Harbour CBD. Architect, Doug Ranson, designed and built the gallery amongst soaring old growth eucalypts using local native timbers, creating all of its stunning, unique features including the pitched cathedral ceilings. The accommodation is sun drenched, spacious and provides 2 truly unique bedrooms. The master suite enables star gazing and tree top nocturnal wild life viewing directly from your pillow. At sunrise enjoy a coffee on your own private jetty over looking your own private lake. Then attempt to count the incredible variety of wildlife that surround you. Once awake, walk the beach then enjoy breakfast at one of the local cafes. Have a swim, then a relaxing spa whilst gazing into the adjacent rainforest. For lunch maybe, entertain and have a BBQ on the alfresco deck over looking your tropical garden and serene lake Russell. You'll sleep all afternoon! Come evening, entertainment could include the local restaurants or a meal cooked in your very own extensive sunken entertainers kitchen. But, remember too, the local provides a free shuttle bus to the wee hours.

We just adored our stay. For anyone wanting to get away, this is the place for you. Very clean and comfortable. It felt quite luxurious. Really enjoyed the wander to the lake early in the morning. Do yourself a favour.

Unusual architect designed dwelling near to a lake and not far from Emerald Beach. The property had much to offer for our short stay. Heard renovations and upgrades happening, so this will make things even better.

Quirky layout but the place is well appointed. Enclosed outdoor area is a great space.

Lots of lovely home comforts and touches - delicious pancake mix! Wish we’d have been staying longer rather than just passing through.

Adele's place is nice and peaceful. Feels like lives in the forest yet only 2 mins drive to the beach.
Adele provided above and beyond the basics. We didn't even have to go to the shops to get eggs, milk, bread, cereals and pancakes as it was provided.

We had a great overnight stay and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The place is so lovely and very clean! We definitely would recommend staying here!

The accommodation was excellent. The only drawback was the poor communication from the manager. We didn’t get the email letting us know the access code until well after the check in time. Very frustrating and caused anxiety as we were then worried about finding alternative accommodation .

Sharon Peter stay at lake Russell
We absolutely loved the place and the area, the beds were super comfy, the provisions we’re a lovely addition too but the disappointments were, that we couldn’t get in until 4pm when check in was at 3pm, all windows were extremely dirty which was a shame as it obstructed our sky viewing, the heated towel rack didn’t work and the biggest problem was the fireplace was out of order and I specifically booked the place because it had a fire place, wished I had have known that prior. So slightly sad that I payed full price and didn’t get all the attractions advertised in photos. Thanks

A lovely little place that me and my partner really enjoyed staying at. The host where excellent and communicated well.
The only downside is that the place looks like it is a stand alone house but it is actually attached to two other places. This didn’t phase us at the start but we stayed in the place for a while and found you could hear people walking around, closing doors and talking in the attached house at all hours of the night.
Overall it was a very lovely place to stay. It was a very pretty place and well maintained. We would stay again.
Thanks for having us.

Nice Area, but Accommodation needs attention to detail cleaning and maintenance. After we cleaned the spa window, air con filter and general dusting & vacuuming, we were happy to stay the week. Really shouldn't have to clean on a holiday. Can't really go by the photo's shown.

Not quite a “retreat”
Once a beautiful gallery & residence on a picturesque small lake, designed & owned by a talented architect, this property has seen its heyday pass by.
Highway noise is the biggest negative.

Adele is a super host you won’t be disappointed staying here. 100% I recommend
This property is perfect for maximum of 6 people. I give five stars rating for everything except there’s only 1 toilet and shower. Although open view in the shower to the nature is a good experience, an option of a screen will be good.
I strongly recommend a minimum 2 nights stay. A visit to nearby “Look At Me Now Headlands” which is 10 minutes drive should not be missed. And for a full day tour Dorrigo Rainforest Walk and Dengar Fall is a good option. Do bring extra change of clothing, a dip in the water Fall after the Rainforest walks is perfect.

Roomy and comfy home away from home!
Loved the area of emerald beach and this house was so big and comfortable to stay in. The place was absolutely spotless with big open glass windows everywhere made us feel like we were sleeping in the forest minus the bugs! Would love to come back
