This was our second visit with the same group of families. We love the location of the house, the layout, the amenities and the kayaks and bikes are such an added treat for the kids. It's an excellent property and I would recommend highly.

Home away from home.
Had everything we needed and more. Location was close to the beach, beds were comfy and had a good range to accommodate my extended family. Kitchen had everything we needed to make cooking a breeze. Loved the outdoor shower so didn't have sand going all through the house. Glynis was lovely, very prompt at replying to a couple of my questions. Look forward to coming back.

What an amazing home, we will be back. This is a 5 star home, lots of bedrooms and beautiful open plan upstairs. Thankyou for having us to stay. The kids love roller skating and scootering on the concrete paths, easy short access to the beach, great fishing and swimming :)

Incredible stay in Ruakaka
The location of the Bach was incredible. The kitchen had everything you could need. The Bach had so much space for 3 families so that kids and adults could spread out and enjoy time hanging out. The beach and dairy are within minutes walking distance. We will definitely return.

Couldn't ask for better
This property was an excellent place for us 1942ers to celebrate a belated 80th birthday with our partners as well. Lovely walks on the beach, after the cyclone, and not too far from Whangarei for us to explore the Town Basin etc. Good eating cafes and restaurants in the area as well.

A beautiful home by the sea
What a great little (well big) gem this is. A Beautiful, spacious home with a great big kitchen and dining for enjoying meals together. Although not right on the beach, there is a sea view and an easy walk from the house. It was my 60th the Saturday before so it was nice to spend this quiet time together with my children before going back to Oz. I highly recommend this beautiful getaway and I'm going to make it one of our regular destination when I'm back in NZ. Thank you Glynis for taking the extra time to wish me a happy birthday 🎂 and for being available to chat with when needed.
