About this property
Beachfront hideaway in Ruffins Bay
Arrive at Ruffins Bay and arrive in paradise. This private beachfront property exceeds the expectations of anyone who stays here.
Amazing, magical, beautiful, tranquil and a peaceful hideaway are just some of the words guests have used to describe Ruffins Rocks.
The well-equipped house boasts fantastic sea views across to Coromandel Town and the bi-folding kitchen connect the house to the beach. Alfresco dining couldn't be easier with the covered deck and the only thing separating the house from the beach is the large lawn perfect for backyard cricket or an afternoon snooze.
There’s plenty of parking for the boat and it can be launched from the beach in front of the house. The Coromandel is the perfect place for hooking a snapper or perhaps just go for a leisurely paddle in one of the property’s kayaks.
The bay is accessed from a private road along from Wyuna Bay and is only shared with six other properties so enjoy the exclusivity of having the beach to yourself.
Build a sandcastle with the kids, walk to the jetty at the end of the bay and dangle of a line, have a paddle in the calm water at high-tide or find a shady spot and simply relax.
A bush walk from the back of the property will take you up to the top of the hill where you will be rewarded by an impressive sunset.
The property is well-equipped with all the luxuries of home including wi-fi, gas stove top, dishwasher, washing machine and fireplace. It is modern, warm and comfortable.
Set slightly back from the beach, the three bedroom house (including sleep-out) offers privacy and birdsong.
A quick 7-minute car ride will take you into Coromandel Town for shops, cafes and restaurants where the are plenty of options for dining out.
Ruffins Rocks is the perfect setting for a romantic getaway, fishing trip, weekend away with friends or a family holiday to make memories with the kids.
For larger groups or extended families, a neighbouring property is also available for rent. Please ask for more details.

We loved our little stay, Great location, very private bay.. The house was welcoming with everything we needed to make great memories with our family. The Host was super friendly with communication being very prompt. HIGHLY recommend!
What an amazing location for a holiday! Lovely house with a beautiful warm fire and spectacular views. We even had a visit from a large pod of dolphins into the bay which really made it a really special holiday.
A beautiful property and amazing scenery. So peaceful and relaxing. Hosts were wonderful and a highly recommend anyone to stay here. We will definately be back :-)
Wow what a fantastic spot! We were lucky enough to stay here for Christmas and found the house beautifully presented and spotlessly clean.The kitchen was very well stocked with high quality appliances just perfect for cooking our Christmas dinner...We loved being able to take the kayaks out in the calm and beautiful bay shared with only five other properties.Despite feeling delightfully private with stunning sea views from the house and deck, Coromandel town is only 10 minutes drive away for a good supermarket, cute shops and of course fish and chips!Thank you for being such a fab host and sharing your patch of paradise with us:)
