This Ruakaka holiday home enjoys bright, comfortably furnished open-plan living. The interior flows out on to the sheltered sundeck and then to the sunny patio, making an ideal spot to chill out when the weather is warmer, as the kids enjoy playing in the fully fenced yard. For a slice of the classic Kiwiana holiday lifestyle, fire up the BBQ on the patio and recline in the outdoor furniture! If the weather or the season has you hanging out indoors, there's plenty to keep you busy and entertained, including an Xbox, a large arcade machine with over 3000 games, and a Smart TV with DVD player. This sweet and sunny set up offers a relaxed home away from home, which comfortably sleeps six guests across its three bedrooms. Two full bathrooms, one with separate toilet, provide the conveniences for your stay. Less than two hours north of Auckland, there are plenty of places to explore throughout the Bream Bay area. Leave the car at home and take a 1-minute stroll to the beach for some fun in the surf, sun, and sand. For a swim, local's recommend it's best two hours before high tide. You'll also be glad to be a two-minute drive from the local store and restaurants if you need supplies, or if you don't feel like cooking. Make your way to Bream Bay Bach! Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Shower ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Fully-fenced - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,399 square feet ## Similar properties ![View from property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/4000000/3850000/3848400/3848353/8c0327da.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quality Hotel Oceans Tutukaka Tutukaka - Pool - Kids’ pool - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 9.0 Wonderful 555 reviews £98 includes taxes & fees 1 Mar - 2 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-01&endDate=2026-03-02&selected=3848353&PinnedHotelID=3848353&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98490000/98483500/98483464/ef8e1489.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Hideout Mangawhai - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Microwave - Kitchen 10 Exceptional 5 reviews £86 includes taxes & fees 18 Mar - 19 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-18&endDate=2026-03-19&selected=98483464&PinnedHotelID=98483464&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18800000/18797300/18797238/52df9904.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kauri Villas Parua Bay - Pool - Hot tub - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 9.6 Exceptional 40 reviews £85 includes taxes & fees 18 Mar - 19 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-18&endDate=2026-03-19&selected=18797238&PinnedHotelID=18797238&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Courtyard view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9630000/9626900/9626839/cb51359c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waipu Cove Resort Waipu - Pool - Kitchen - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 8.8 Excellent 117 reviews £114 includes taxes & fees 16 Feb - 17 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-16&endDate=2026-02-17&selected=9626839&PinnedHotelID=9626839&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/62000000/61240000/61239100/61239100/1f675dee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach Shack at Taurikura Bay Whangarei Heads - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 9.0 Wonderful 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-01&endDate=2026-03-02&selected=61239100&PinnedHotelID=61239100&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/43000000/42050000/42043800/42043773/c0ba93b2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Haumako - Mangawhai Heads Holiday Home Mangawhai Heads - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-01&endDate=2026-03-02&selected=42043773&PinnedHotelID=42043773&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31550000/31548100/31548008/c7216c82.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ripples-n-Tide Waterside Studio Parua Bay - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 249 reviews £77 includes taxes & fees 18 Feb - 19 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-18&endDate=2026-02-19&selected=31548008&PinnedHotelID=31548008&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109380000/109373000/109372940/365c7015.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ruakaka Retreat, heavenly views.
