Carol & Gordy were amazing hosts! Our group booked last minute & they managed to prepare the property for us on such short notice! Instructions were clear & Check-in and Check-out process was a breeze so our group was stoked about that! Upon arrival we were greeted by Carol & Gordy - lovely people! Who even left a bottle of wine for us which we were so grateful for!🩷The property was very cosy and fit perfectly for our small group. We could not stop talking about how spacious the bathroom was, Everything in the home was lovely. Truly grateful at how spotless the home was upon check-in! We made full use of the kitchen which also had alot of the essentials we required for our home-made dinnersLocation of the property was stunning! We thoroughly enjoyed the deck views of the Ruakaka River & it was so close to the local supermarket & beach - super convenient for us!Overall a very lovely cosy place - would definitely recommend & also would stay here again! Thank you Carol & Gordy!

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

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!
