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 -
