1 MINUTE WALK = RUAKAKA BEACH

Clean and tidy 3 Bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 Toilet home with sleep out on flat, fully fenced section. PLEASE NOTE: There is NO Linen provided. Please make sure you have sheets, pillowcases, duvets/blankets and towels.

No car access to this part of the beach keeps it nice and quiet all year round!

Plenty of room on the reserve out front for the kids to play, ride bikes etc without the worry of cars.

Outdoor shower to rinse off after one of the many trips to the beach.

Full insulated with Heat pump and HRV ventilation system keeps the house dry and warm/cool when you need it.

Original Kitchen with F&P appliances, Stove, Dishwasher and Ice & Water refrigerator.

Huge wrap around deck with 4 burner gas BBQ and a Kettle BBQ if charcoal is more your thing, please bring your own charcoal etc…

Multiple outdoor entertaining areas so you can follow the sun throughout the day.

Hopefully not, but if you feel the urge to do a bit of work or you just want a break away to work there is unlimited Fibre broadband at your disposal.

Enough parking for 6 vehicles outside the gate keeping the kids away from the cars.

If boating is your thing, a super wide gate makes backing the boat in a dream.

A 2min drive or 10min walk to Ruakaka shopping centre which has everything you need! Bakery, Fish n Chips, Sushi, Cafe, Butcher, Supermarket, Kebab/Pizzeria, Doctors…

Next to the shopping centre there is a playground as well as a skatepark if you get sick of the beach.

Only 90min north of Auckland or 20min south of Whangarei makes it so easy to get to.

Cozy, comfy, everything you need and out the gate a few steps to the beach. We watched the sunrise with our coffee every morning and slept like logs in the comfy beds. Kids had a blast, already planning when we can come back. Thank you

Great spot and bach
We had a very nice stay. The bach met expectation and the beach location was fantastic. Could have used a few more basic sundries (tea towels, TP), but overall nice comfortable bach.

Peace and quiet
The house had everything we needed and more. The only TV we could get to work was in the front bedroom and only 1 channel so that was a bit disappointing. It was a very quick car trip to the main beach, which is quite stunning. There was every shop we needed locally and we especially enjoyed our take out Indian. Plenty of hot water for showers and huge fridge. Would recommend.

Family batch in a great location
Everything we needed for a relaxing holiday by the beach. Good outdoor areas with plenty of space for relaxing or playing games. Great location just a short walk from the beach. Spacious bedrooms with plenty of storage to unpack if you want to. Overall a great place that we would be keen to visit again.
