The bach was just the right place for our family reunion, some from overseas. It was wonderfully close to the beach and the house is well designed for a relaxing holiday. It does however, need some maintenance, as all houses do. But communication with the host on this was very positive and I can commend them on their bach. I hope to stay there again.

This property is the dirtiest and least maintained we have ever stayed in across New Zealand. This meant that upon arrival on Friday my husband and I spent most of the day cleaning rather than having a holiday with our little girl, before our guests arrived on the Saturday morning:(
The kitchen counters were sticky, and dust covered, the toaster has never been cleaned out, the kettle had pieces of stuff coming off its inside when boiled, the microwave was not cleaned and we had to wash all of the plates, cups, glasses and utensils before use. The pans in the kitchen are rusted and the rust came off onto the eggs we tried to make on Sunday morning.
The floors had balls of dust and hair everywhere in the living area, dining room and all the bedrooms. The matrasses had bugs and human hairs of different colors on it (we only saw this on the day we left as we were instructed to clean all the lined and the whole house before we left), a courtesy we were definitely not afforded. The linen in the twin single room was dusty:(
The toilet had urine and black curly hairs on it upon arrival. Neither the baths nor the sinks were cleaned.
The BBQ was used but has not been cleaned in a very long time, and the grills could not be leaned well enough to actually use so we had to organise for our own grills to be brought with friends from Auckland.
We discussed the fact that the place was so dirty with the owner face-to-face on Friday, who responded by saying that "well this is Kiwi-bach rules, you get the place the way it's left by the previous people". This was surprising as we were the first people to go into this house for summer, meaning the owners did not clean it/have it cleaned since it was closed up in winter.
This was a terrible experience for 3 families with small children. Supplying a clean place is the MOST IMPORTANT thing we needed but was not granted. This after I was sent instructions a week prior to arrival of how the house needed to be cleaned, linen washed and dried and replaced (this was not on the house rules when I booked it).
The only positive is the location and the size of the house.

Beautiful property met all of our expectations, plenty of room close to the beach so we walked to watch the sunrise, close to all amenities. I would recommend this house . We were a family of 10 and there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space.

Enjoyed our time in beautiful Ruakaka. Very handy location and great property. Friends brought dogs so it was great leaving them when out or a meal and knowing they were secure. Thanks Helen.

We had our family stay in this property from overseas. They loved how close it was to the beach and hanging out in the big outdoor deck. Property owners were so good to deal with. All round a great experience

We spent a week at this property just across the road from the beach. It was spacious and very comfortable. and had everything we could need for the week. Fortunately the weather was perfect but there things to do if it rained. Being fully fenced gave us peace of mind for the safety of our grandchildren and our small dog. The property owners were flexible and very easy to deal with. We had a wonderful holiday and hope to go back again.

We had a wonderful stay at Ruakaka. We were very impressed with not only how well equipped the bach was for 12 people but also how well kept it was. Awesome outdoor dining area that we used often (despite the weather!). Kitchen had everything we needed, and the two bathrooms were fab! The best part was the 5 minute walk to the beach!! Absolutely awesome bach, we will definitely be back next year.

Nice big roomy house for all our kids to play without being in each others way. Great spot close to the beach and there was plenty of everything ie plates, cutlery, linen etc for a large group (we had 6 adults, 8 kids). Would go back again if the opportunity comes up.

Very nice and children friendly place! Beautiful beach and excellent bach. Will visit again.
Highly recommended!
