About this property
Ruakaka Coastal Reserve Retreat
Spend your days swimming, surfing, or bodyboarding at the beach, then rinse off under the outdoor shower before gathering for a BBQ on the deck. Kids will love the flat section for games and bike riding, and the local skate park is only a two-minute drive away.
Inside, an open-plan kitchen and living area create an easy hub for family time, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. A washing machine and hairdryer add convenience for longer holidays.
Sleeping up to 10 guests, the home offers four bedrooms — two with queen beds and two with double bunks — making it ideal for families or groups.
You’re close to Ruakaka Village with its supermarket, pharmacy, cafés, and takeaway outlets for all your essentials. Marsden Marina is just a 10-minute drive away for launching your boat or enjoying the marina restaurants.
With ample parking, including space for a boat over seven metres, and a partially fenced, pet-friendly section, this is an easy base for your Northland adventures.
Whether you’re here to hit the beach or simply unwind with loved ones, Ruakaka Coastal Reserve Retreat offers a simple, sunny escape. 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.
Please note that there are security cameras, placed in the outdoor areas by the entrances, that will be operating for added security during your stay.
