Wonderful place to stay

What a wonderful peaceful place to spend for 3 days. We where able to explore the beach which was relatively close just a shhort drive from the home. The 2 small shopping areas where within easy reach one was only a short walk from the home and the other was a short drive away. I would give it in our eyes a 5 star rating. We also enjoyed a walk along the river.

Excellent accommodation

This accommodation was perfect for our stay. Set in a peaceful location on the rivers edge, beautifully clean, and fully-equipped with everything we needed. We received great communication from our hosts, which made check in a breeze. Ideally situated close to the motocross track, supermarket and shops. Would highly recommend as a place to stay, and will hopefully return some time in the future! Thanks.

Comfortable little cottage

My friend and I stayed for a weekend. The cottage is comfortable and clean. It has everything needed, even nice pillows. One thing to note is that the front sliding door comes in through a bedroom. There is another entrance one the other side that can be used so it's not a huge issue. I would happily stay again.

Absolute 10 out of 5

This was our first time using a vrbo, going to our daughter's wedding in the local area. Carol & Gordon our hosts were great, always keeping us up-to-date as our trip got closer, and promptly responded to our emails. We were totally impressed /surprised when they invited us to their own home for a "home cooked meal ". Carol /Gordie your amazing hosts. The BnB is centrally located in Ruakaka, close to shops, the beach, lots of pubs/restaurants for your dining pleasure. The park like atmosphere of the BnB backyard was wonderful both morning and afternoon relaxing with a coffee or a glass of wine. We would/will definitely have to make a return trip. Thanks again for dinner!
