Fantastic views
The sea views are stunning from the kitchen and living areas. This is the standout feature of this beachfront property. It is accurately described as a 'kiwi bach' rather than a holiday home. A 'lived in' family bach... a little tired around the edges in places.
One of our group noted that a couple of the current photos are out of date...new kitchen and open plan living areas now. Both a bonus.😊
We enjoyed our stay in the area and loved the views.

review
Trying to modify our booking with bookabach was hopeless. The website is based in Texas and set up to be user unfriendly. The local NZ owner was very helpful and available at all times.

Great Location
Really enjoyed our stay at Ruby Bay. The property was ideally located. It was great being so close to the ocean.
Owner's communication was good.
Unfortunately the condition of some of the items listed in the advert were in poor condition. Several plugs didn’t work, the dart board didn’t have any numbers, pool que ends missing on all but one que and the kayaks had holes in the bottom. This was disappointing as some of the items had attracted us to the listing. This is our reason for scoring the listing a 4/5. Other than the items listed above, our stay was satisfactory. A great kiwi bach.

Beach view Ruby Bay
This is a quiet location with great sea views and sunshine. We walked to mapua in about forty minutes to enjoy the restaurants and cafes.
Plenty room in the property and everything you need to be comfortable.
Spent a great couple of evenings outside by the fire pit while star gazing
Nick was very quick to respond to any questions or issues.
Would recommend.

Currently the property is under repair but did not impact on our stay.
Bonus was the Kayaks to use.
