- Jinseob, May 2023Morgan “Loved our stay.”
Gorgeous house with lovely views and really appreciated the kids' games and toys!!!
- Morgan, April 2023Peter “We have enjoyed the Ruakaka holiday home.”
The river is just in font of the place and very pleasant view. My dog was very happy to walk by the river during our stay. Bakery, Cafe , Butcher, small super market and a few takeaway shops near this place which were handy. Only one thing that we were disappointed there wasn't a BBQ. We brought BBQ food from home, but we had cook on the stove instead. Please do not include the BBQ on the photo if you don't have one.
- Peter, March 2023Paretohi “Amazing location on the river.”
Beautiful clean homely house which provided everything we needed. Again property manager went the extra mile for us and returned our stuff that was accidentally left behind, he's an awesome guy Jesse Williams, appreciate him for doing that for us. Would definitely rent this home again in the future.
- Paretohi, March 2023Roberta “We loved the house and we found everything clean and tidy inside and outside.”
Close to the shops at the shopping centre and beach.We all enjoyed our stay.Could not fault anything.Thanks for letting us stay in your holiday property.We will be back sometime.Cheers Roberta Wrench.
- Roberta, October 2022Almalyn “Never again.”
The property smelt musty and is need of deep cleaning. The couch is heavily stained and filthy. The duvet covers had blood stained in them, lucky for us we brought our own sheets and duvet. We spent some time cleaning the kitchen before we could use it. This is by far the worst accommodation we’ve ever had….. If you are looking for a clean place to stay, look elsewhere.
- Almalyn, July 2022Hi Almayn, We appreciate you taking the time to provide us insight into what was disappointing with your stay. This is very unusual and we will investigate this further. Thank you again for staying and we hope to host you again in the near future. Bachcare

- Bruna, February 2022Geoff “Perfect set up for young family with activities and safe play and toys in big garage”
- Geoff, January 2022Sam “The house is clean, neat, tidy and warm.”
Location is also superb. We're here on a working trip but would come back again for a vacation someday. It's a hidden gem.
- Sam, June 2021Catherine “House was very clean and tidy, kitchen well equipped and a very quiet location with a lovely view.”
- Catherine, May 2021Patricia “Clean, well appointed accommodation.”
Perfect for family stay, great location for river access, short ride or drive to ocean beach.
- Patricia, April 2021Stuart “Great property with Kayaks and local stream/river to play in.”
I love the spin bike and selection of weights to counter balance the cheese crackers and wine I stick down my neck. Great place cheers

The property
Launching your good life from The Waterfront Ruakaka doesn't get any closer than right alongside the water's edge of Ruakaka River, the perfect backdrop to your stay! This place captures the essence of a beachy holiday with its take on the traditional bach, with unrivalled views over the river. If you're looking for a great summer base camp to call home - look no further. Spend your days soaking up the sun or catching some waves down at Ruakaka surf beach, or come home and fire up the BBQ and enjoy a gorgeous home-cooked meal paired with a glass of red while you watch the sun come down over the river. There's even a newly-installed 3 person sauna to relax in. With plenty of space to bring your furry friends to come and join the fun! Built just 4-years ago, this property looks and feels new! With an outdoor dining area perfect for al fresco style dinners or an ideal spot to tuck into a good book or even better right up from the river so you can pop in for a swim whenever you feel like it! Fitness enthusiasts will rejoice as there is plenty of equipment available for use and if you're into your fishing there is plenty of space to park a boat along the driveway. Just 1-km out from the beach and a 7-minute drive to Ruakaka Surf Club. For day trips head to Marsden Point, a 5-10 minute drive away, or Waipu is 15-minutes away. If it's a balance of comfort, style and location that you're after, then look no further than The Waterfront Ruakaka!
