Great place and area to stay
My wife and I stayed at this place for two nights on our month-long journey through New Zealand and Australia, coming from Portland, Oregon USA. It was one of our highlights of our entire trip. Not only was the house very modern and comfortable, the neighborhood was outstanding as well. The Little town of Ruby Bay and surrounding area was lovely. We hope to come back again soon.

MISCHIEF IN MAPUA …..
The house was beautifully appointed and a delight to spend 4 days in It had everything and more that we needed !
Close to Mapua Wharf with great places to eat and visit
Our only observation was that there could have been beach towels available for our use and a small bottle of milk in the fridge for our arrival to make a much needed hot drink after travelling !
Thanks for a great stay we throughly enjoyed it !
