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.

The house was clean, inviting and modern. The house has big rooms, lovely kitchen, large living areas and great deck with gas bbq. The house is well located and an easy 15mins walk to the wonderful Mapua wharf with great restaurants. It is also centrally located with so many activities and attractions within easy reach. We did many day trips and visited the nearby beaches and nature walks. This property is highy recommended and will definitely be considered again for any future returns.

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 !
