Fantastic location literally a stone throw away from a lovely beach.

This place is a winner for young children as well as teenagers and adults. The property was fully fenced so our dog also had a good time. I highly recommend this home away from home for families wanting to share quality time together.

Ruakaka Stay

A wonderful place to stay - thank you. Location to the beach was excellent. Everything was so clean and tidy. 4 generations under the 1 roof. 9 weeks old to 90 years old. Nice and easy for everyone and the trampoline was great for Miss 3 and 8. So easy to get to the beach. Thank you!
