"Lovely accommodating host. Provided fresh free range eggs and fruits from the property, and welcomed us to help ourselves to fruits/ veges from the garden and eggs from the chickens.Spa pool wasn't available while we were there, possibly due to the recent adverse weather conditions. Spacious home, possibly mid-reno in places so there's a mix of older and newer features - needed a little fiddling with the older shower to achieve a comfortable water temp.Plenty of space for 13 of us, kids loved...

Ruakaka River and Beach Apartment

Ruakaka River and Beach Apartment

10/10 Excellent
"The place was comfortable, clean had everything we needed. Especially when we booked the wrong night and we had travelled through a day early, Carol was able to sort it for us. It was close to the beach and to their little town. Although it was half hour each day to the sports ground it was still lovely to arrive at the apartment at the end of day to relax. The people of Ruakaka were so lovely and friendly highly recommended staying here."
