This peaceful holiday home is perfectly set up, hitch up the boat and travel less than two hours north from Auckland and you've arrived. Open the doors to seamless indoor-outdoor living with the bonus of stunning views and amazing white sands 5 minutes drive away - the perfect summer with the family awaits. Wake in the morning and kick each day off right with freshly brewed coffee from the barista-style coffee machine, whip up a tasty brunch for yourselves to enjoy while you make a plan for the day, or simply relax on the deck. Sleeping up to nine across four bedrooms, this spacious and comfortable holiday home has 2-bathrooms making it perfect for 2 families. There is a superb cafe just a short walk away, so if you like a barista-made flat white in the morning, this is the spot for you. With the wildlife refuge just up the road, Waipu Cove and Piroa Falls nearby, and the Hen and Chicken Islands just a day trip on the boat away, there's no shortage of breathtaking scenic spots to visit. Spend your days revelling in the sunshine and making a splash in the ocean waves - your new favourite Ruakākā family holiday spot awaits at Family Tides! Please note there is a slight drop-off at the back of the property, and adults should closely supervise young children around this area as it is not fenced. Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Ruakaka is known for its stunning surf beach and vibrant community life, all within an hour and 40 minutes drive from Auckland. The white sandy bay looks out towards the Hen and Chicken Islands, Bream Head, Mt Manaia and Sail Rock, making the area particularly picturesque. All of our Ruakaka holiday homes are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
