Lake Russell Water Lillies

David and Deborah King are currently constructing a three-bedroom Bed & Breakfast establishment. It is located just 16kms north of Coffs Harbour in the peaceful surrounds of Lake Russell. In fact, part of the one-hectare property backs in to the lake. These photographs are documenting our dream of operating a Bed and Breakfast. Click on the photographs below to see the progress throughout the construction phase of this magnificent reproduction Victorian homestead. We are expecting to be operational later this year, ie 2004. We've had such an enormous amount of interest in how we are progressing that we thought the best way to showcase our dream is to document it on the Internet. This way, we can keep all our interested friends up to date on a daily basis on our progress. It's also the simplest way to showcase to the world this magnificent establishment. When opened, you can come and stay, sit back, relax, and enjoy this peaceful rural setting. You can explore the many wonderful activities that the beautiful Coffs Coast has to offer, or just sit back, do absolutely nothing but listen to the many wonderful sounds of the abundant native wildlife.

How to get to our PROPERTY

This view, the location, and many other qualities of this wonderful peaceful place made it so easy for us to purchase this property. Deb at Emerald Beach, just five minutes drive from the B & B. Australian kangaroos are abundant on our property. If you look close, at the kangaroo on the left, you will see a joeys head peeking out from its mother’s pouch. Bob from Coffs Harbour Hardwood, contracted to clear our land. Great job. This tree took fours hours to fell. Bob & Graham finally prevailed. David showing the size of this stump(20 tonne).
