About this house rental

Studio house with great modern kitchen, lounge, bathroom and bedroom area.Your private deck is a lovely place to enjoy a wine and the amazing views.
Your privacy is assured as there are no neighbours around my property. So you wake up only to the sound of birds and the gentle of lap of the water.
You are only a few minutes walk from the sandy beach, with great swimming and a boat ramp right in front of the house.
A pristine harbour offers good fishing spots, plus ideal for sailing, kite surfing, paddle boarding or kayaking.Price includes 2 good sea kayaks.
With summer on it's way it is the ideal place for a relaxed get away, so you can curl up with a good book and a glass of wine to watch the sun go down.

There is a local horse trek available (in summer) or if you have your own horses we are happy for you to use our post and rail paddock facilities.

While the rest of the country was moaning about bad weather and high winds, we were tucked up in front of a blazing fire with Videos, a backgammon board and a good book. Who could complain. Our accommodation was everything we wanted and more. The large garage makes for a good place for two large dogs to share. In between the weather breaks we walked from our Whare to and up Aotea Beach to the mussel beds. Aotea offers a safe place to walk with dogs. Highly recommend Ruru Whare, it has all the comforts of home and an unequalled view of the harbour. The owner of the property goes out of her way to accommodate her guests A place to stay especially if your family includes your pets as members of the family.

Another wonderful stay at Ruru Whare. This was our third visit. The weather was dreadful but we still managed a few wild and windswept beach walks and just enjoyed hunkering down by the fire. This is the perfect spot to get away and switch off. The property is still as clean, tidy and well-equipped as it was when we first visited nine years ago!

This property is very much cared for and everything you could wish for is supplied. Plus the location is absolutely stunning with great sea views from the bach and a short toddle to actually be walking or exercising the dog on the black sand beach. We loved our time here and would gladly come again if we ever got the chance.
