We loved our stay at the Ruapuke Retreat and would highly recommend it to others!!!
It was very quiet and peaceful with a lovely view of farm land and the ocean in the distance. The place was very clean, tidy and was well equipped with everything you need. Communication with the hosts was quick and efficient and we felt very at home.
Our kids thought it was very exciting being on a farm
We will definately be back. Thanks Evonne and Hardy 😀

Very nice, clean place, we enjoyed our stay except for one black aggressive dog who charged our son and barked at us anytime he was around. We contacted our host but she related the dog was a working farm dog. We love dogs and have had many but just wished this dog was put away while we stayed. Other than that it was a beautiful view and about 20-25 minutes from Raglan beach town.

What a awesome job they have done with the conversion of the woodshed, you’d hardly even know. Located at a beautiful spot with views of the ocean and farmland. Really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back another time.

Don't stay here if you like to pop down to the cafe for a coffee.
It is ideal if you prefer quiet (though the magpies might start up at 6am), and distant sea views ("over there between the land and the sky", said Basil Fawlty).
The rolling paddocks of green are picturesque. The beach nearby is wild and remote - black sand. It's great for walking, but not recommended for swimming.

Driving to this stay you pass rolling green pastures and then arrive atop a hill with a beautiful outlook over the dairy farm to the ocean beyond. The barn was super clean, nicely equipped and had large windows to enjoy the view. If you don’t mind driving a little away then this place is perfect. Tranquil and picturesque

This property offers you everything you have at home and more. The house is very well equipped, properly isolated and warm(heatpump). The breath-takingly beautiful views is something we still miss (but we have had the opportunity to experience the beautiful views and lots of memories to treasure). The tranquil location is quite unique to this house.
Location wise, this property is a quick and comfortable drive into Raglan(nearest) and also the Bridal Veil Falls.
I highly recommend this bach to any family of four. It was quite an amazing experience which we will treasure for ever.

What a stunning view this place has! We had a lovely two nights stay. The stars are so stuning. Hosts are so friendly. Everything is just perfect. The beach is so close, only about 6 minutes drive, it was our son's first time seeing the ocean and playing on the beach. We had a great time, we definitely would come back.

Perfect spot to relax before and after tackling the bike ride up to the Te Uku wind farm and checking out Bridal Veil Falls. Close enough to Raglan to have fish and chips on the beach for tea and be home in time to appreciate the sun set

So much more than we expected. The most well equipped farm stay accommodation we have encountered by far. Completely private, spotlessly clean with comfy
couches and beds and stunning views. We stayed for 6 nights and would have stayed another 6 if we could. Hosts are easy to communicate with. Nice to know about this little gem!

This bach exceeded expectations. From the sounds of the animals to the stunning view, the woolshed is a perfect rural getaway. The kitchen is fully equipped with all essentials. Our visit took place in winter and the property was beautifully warm, featuring a heat pump and double glazed. A short distance from the Mount Karioi summit track and Ruapuke beach. Very clean and spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
