About this house rental
Ruru House — Off-Grid Luxury at Medlands Beach
Perched on a north-facing ridge among native bush, Ruru House is a contemporary retreat with wide ocean and mountain views from every deck. Fully off-grid, solar-powered, and a five-minute bush walk to Medlands Beach.
Open-plan living with warm timber floors and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Three bedrooms — master with ensuite, two sharing a large wet-room bathroom. Wraparound decks capture sunrise over the Pacific to the east and rugged ranges to the west.
Your space:
- Full kitchen with quality appliances
- Fireplace for winter evenings
- Outdoor shower — perfect after a beach swim or polar plunge
- WiFi, Smart TV, Sonos
- Washing machine & dryer
- Secluded back deck and lawn with BBQ
At your doorstep:
- Medlands Beach — 5-minute walk
- Aotea Brewery — short stroll
- Tryphena & airport — 10-minute drive
After dark:
Great Barrier is a certified Dark Sky Sanctuary. Step outside and the Milky Way stretches horizon to horizon. The native Ruru (Morepork) owls are regular visitors at dusk — watch them catch green Pūriri moths right from the front deck.
One of three private homes at 175° East, each secluded in native bush.

Perfect. Thx.

A perfect spot for either a short or long stay, very clean and everything you need is here to ensure a comfortable, peaceful stay, the fire was appreciated at night and the wood was bone dry so dead easy to get a roaring fire underway. We both slept like logs which means the beds were super comfy and supportive. Having decks on both sides of the house is a plus if the wind makes things uncomfortable. We'll be back!

Quiet space, lovely views. Close to Medlyn's Beach.

Fantastic place to stay with everything you could possibly need and more (i.e. Outdoor speakers!). It's great that the master ensuite is separated from the other 2 bedrooms and main bathroom by the kitchen and living space as this gives families or friends privacy when needed. The front and rear decks are a bonus too. Hosts have lots of local knowledge and were very friendly. Would love to return soon!
