Amazing stay
Lovely home, amazing view, great location. We had 10 people stay and there was so much room. Lots of activities available, the kids loved the table tennis and playing outdoors with the net. This was convenient as we were there for a badminton tournament. Highly recommend and would love to return if there's another opportunity.

Classic kiwi bach experience
We had a great time at this classic kiwi blast from the past bach. The views are stunning and the fireplace was a cinch to use with ample dry firewood provided heating the house thoroughly for a nice winter getaway. Ruakaka beach is stunning and a short drive or bike ride to get there. Ruakaka has a small but well stocked supermarket so we able to cook yummy homemade meals in the well appointed kitchen. The house has everything you can want for in terms of a holiday - kids toys, books, games, dvds etc. some may find it a little cluttered but it worked out great for us. The kids also loved the trampoline (net free) and swing in the back yard. We are a family of five but the house has ample space for more. The owners were kind and great with their communication. Whangārei is only 30min drive so also made an easy day trip to kiwi north and the town basin with the perk of escaping back to beach town life easily to relax. Thanks for having us. We hope to return sometime.
