The Waterfront Ruakaka - Ruakaka Holiday Home
Launching your good life from The Waterfront Ruakaka doesn't get any closer than right alongside the water's edge of Ruakaka River, the perfect backdrop to your stay!
This place captures the essence of a beachy holiday with its take on the traditional bach, with unrivalled views over the river. If you're looking for a great summer base camp to call home - look no further.
Spend your days soaking up the sun or catching some waves down at Ruakaka surf beach, or come home and fire up the BBQ and enjoy a gorgeous home-cooked meal paired with a glass of red while you watch the sun come down over the river. There's even a newly-installed 3 person sauna to relax in. With plenty of space to bring your furry friends to come and join the fun!
Built just 4-years ago, this property looks and feels new! With an outdoor dining area perfect for al fresco style dinners or an ideal spot to tuck into a good book or even better right up from the river so you can pop in for a swim whenever you feel like it! Fitness enthusiasts will rejoice as there is plenty of equipment available for use and if you're into your fishing there is plenty of space to park a boat along the driveway.
Just 1-km out from the beach and a 7-minute drive to Ruakaka Surf Club. For day trips head to Marsden Point, a 5-10 minute drive away, or Waipu is 15-minutes away.
If it's a balance of comfort, style and location that you're after, then look no further than The Waterfront Ruakaka!

Good place
The parking lot is very spacious and the garbage is comfortable. Also, there was a Ruakaka stream in front of the garden, so it was good as a healing point. If there is a heat pump, it will be a recommended accommodation for four seasons that I really want to visit even in hot summer and cold winter.
