The property is truly a 1-minute walk from the beach, and this was great fun for our two kids. We appreciated that there were boogie boards and a nearby toy library for the beach. There are also board games, fast WiFi and television for those rainy days. I would note that the property felt more run down than in the photos (trampoline broken, roof leak in bathroom when raining, stained/worn out furniture, piles of construction materials/leaf litter in the yard) -- though some of this may just be due to visiting in the winter during rainy weather. Neighbors were also a little noisy our last night. However, we did have a great stay and would recommend this spot, especially for its proximity to the beach.

Honestly one of the best stays we’ve had in a while!! Definitely worth it!!

Great home, close to the beach with a well equipped kitchen.

Bach was nice and tidy. But Barbecue was so dirty we not able to use it. I have photos to show how dirty it was.
4.8
Cozy, comfy, everything you need and out the gate a few steps to the beach. We watched the sunrise with our coffee every morning and slept like logs in the comfy beds. Kids had a blast, already planning when we can come back.
Thank you

We had a very nice stay. The bach met expectation and the beach location was fantastic. Could have used a few more basic sundries (tea towels, TP), but overall nice comfortable bach.
4.8
Great location with a short stroll to the beach. Nice yard for kids to play. Have a lovely stay with the family.
4.8
The house had everything we needed and more. The only TV we could get to work was in the front bedroom and only 1 channel so that was a bit disappointing. It was a very quick car trip to the main beach, which is quite stunning. There was every shop we needed locally and we especially enjoyed our take out Indian.
Plenty of hot water for showers and huge fridge. Would recommend.

Everything we needed for a relaxing holiday by the beach. Good outdoor areas with plenty of space for relaxing or playing games. Great location just a short walk from the beach. Spacious bedrooms with plenty of storage to unpack if you want to. Overall a great place that we would be keen to visit again.

Just about had the beach to ourselves.

Lovely tidy property so close to the beautiful beach. We really enjoyed the stay and were grateful for the air conditioning and the outdoor shower. We did have some trouble with a tv in the bedroom and couldn't get it working (maybe user error)
One recommendation I would make is for there to be more cleaning products on hand for the departure day. I did my best with what there was on hand but I would like to of done a better job. I looked for the vacuum for 20 mins. lol
4.8
Great set up would make really nice base for a beach holiday. Only conern was many of the cleaning produces were close to empty. And i'm not sure mopping the wooden floors is the right treatment for them.
4.8
The location is amazing, right next to Ruakaka beach. The house is a nice small location for a gathering and having friends. The property is well maintained and has a great sense of getting away from the stress of work and technology. Overall had a great time and would love to visit again.

Place was well suited for a fishing sojourn as plenty of space to park a boat , quiet and private but close to shops and the ram as well as a very short walk to the beach. Cupboards were well stocked with the condiments ( very much appreciated) and all other amenities were just fine

Ideal for our weekend away

Our family were attending a tangihanga in Whangārei, and this lovely place was our home away from home for three nights.
We'd originally booked for two nights, but when we found out the burial was another day ahead I contacted the owner and they very kindly allowed our whānau to extend our stay without charge. We were blown away by their generosity and will definitely be returning for summer holidays. Thank you so much!
4.8
Had an awesome weekend away even though the weather wasn't the best. We still made the most of it with our little family. Great location close to the beach and small shopping center near by was handy. Toddler bed in the master bedroom was great to have for the little one. And having Netflix was a bonus. Overall was a good experience, thanks again for your hospitality.

We had a very nice stay here as a treat for my wife's birthday. We couldn't have enjoyed our stay any more. Location was great and the house was very well equipped. Comms with Rikki was prompt and very easy. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed in the fully furnished single storey friendly 3 bed home with outdoor barbecue deck. There were 5 of us who were able to stay. Unfortunately 2 extra family members couldn’t because they brought their doggy ('thems' the rules) otherwise we had everything we needed, so comfy and quiet and within walking distance to the beach. Highly recommended for families/groups.

Loved staying here, such a quiet area and super close to the beach. Great house, plenty of room and facilities. I was here by myself but next time will be bringing the family. I would definitely stay here again and Rikki was very accommodating with some of the date changes we had to do. Highly recommend.
