TuiRidge Tutukaka

Nice, secluded location with access to many beaches and hikes nearby. Good-quality facilities: large, newish fridge, good shower, and a garden with fresh fruit and beautiful views of the Milky Way at night. Would be a perfect place for a family with two children. Angela was a wonderful host on check-in.

Signage for the property was hard to see at night. I would recommend getting to the property before sunset

We loved the outdoor BBQ area, the beautiful garden views, and being able to pick fresh oranges from the property. Angela was exceptionally helpful, living just next door and always responsive whenever we needed anything. The peaceful surroundings made for a very relaxing stay.

The only minor improvement would be a larger TV, as the current 32-inch screen felt a little small for the room.

The host, Angela and her husband are the fantastic host team one hopes for. The oranges in the backyard were such delightful bonus.

We liked everything

The location was perfect. The space was pristine and private. The hostess was phenomenal!

Angels and Lee are indeed the perfect 10 hosts and we high appreciated their help and support throughout our stay. Their attention to detail, and their amazingly beautiful guest house and apartment was beyond exceptional with UNMATCHED views of hills and ocean--a place make ever lasting fantastic memories. Hence, they made our stay in Tutukaka a very unique and unforgettable experience like NO other. We will also always cherish our stay, conversations, and easygoing personalities of your Angela and Lee. They introduced us to the most beautiful surrounding beaches and nature.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing...

Appartamento arredato con buon gusto, molto pulito, in una splendida posizione tra piccole colline a ridosso del mare. La proprietaria è stata gentilissima e molto disponibile.

The location was stunning.Furnished with style to a very high standard. Lovely bedding, crockery and accessories. Awesome walk to a private inlet to swim . Mesmerising

Having to leave!

It was so peaceful and quiet! The surrounding were so beautiful!

Comfortable modern and clean, lovely bathroom and well set up. Helpful friendly host.

Eigener privat Strand ca. 10min Fußläufig

The apartment was fantastic and had everything we needed and more. Modern, clean and comfortable and a great level of attention given to provide all the things you might need. There was plenty of space for two couples. Angela is a terrific host who really cares about her guests, available and full of useful information and equally giving you all the privacy you might want. The beautiful private and peaceful outdoor BBQ space was especially enjoyable, catching all the evening sun. The location is perfect, a very short drive to Tutukaka Marina or Matapouri and the bonus of a nice walk down to swimming spot on the property.

Nothing

Everything was excellent, starting with the welcome from Ange on arrival. She went out of her way to ensure we have everything we needed and to ensure a great stay. Kitchen is well and thoughtfully stocked. Comfortable beds, great bathroom and toiletries. Enjoyed the outside deck with table and chairs, plus the lookout which is a short walk away.

Nothing we didn't like.

The hostess Angela was lovely and very accommodating. She offered beach towela and snorkles, thank you. The location has a beautiful outlook and the sea swimming more adventurous and a 10 min walk away. The beds are comfortable, the shower is great, the home cosy and peaceful.

Die Lage in einem Wort: Paradies! Wunderschön in den Hügeln gelegen, Blick auf die Bucht, zu der nur die Bewohner einer handvoll Häuser Zugang haben. Tolle, herzliche Gastgeber…. Wir hatten unvergessliche Weihnachtstage in Tutukaka!

Beautiful location inside and outside. The entire property is wonderfully maintained. Super comfy beds and well stocked kitchenette. The host, Angela was the absolute best!! We would happily stay here again.

Everything was perfect!

Lovely spacious property. Big living room, nice size bedroom and large bathroom. The views are fantastic! Angela was very helpful in telling me how to hike to the lighthouse and the beach below, if I wanted to do that. Recommended a great restaurant in Tutukaka - Schnappa Rock. Delicious!

Nothing

Great location with a fabulous outlook to the Valley and a private access to a great swimming spot. Beds super comfortable ,great shower , living room and patio with bbq it had everything you needed for a short or long stay . Would stay again

Only thing was wifi a bit patchy smart tv buffered . But didn’t bother us . Phone data had good coverage

Stunning setting, modern, comfortable, clean and friendly.

The stunning location, immaculately clean & tidy, quality furnishings, comfortable beds, delightful host who communicated well and provided welcome touches and all the essentials.

The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The room had a spa feel to it from a super comfy bed with amazing bedding to nice smells and products in the bathroom. A nice walk in the neighborhood allowed you to see local animals as well as get a good view of the ocean. We could’ve gone into the private cove, but water was very cold and opted not to.

It was great!

Fantastic Property, wonderful Hosts ~ The property is exceptionally well laid out for 2 couples, beautiful farmland surrounds. Completely private, peaceful and serene, we will definitely be back! Close to shops and town when we needed, great dining experiences at the Marina, loved the rain water, hot shower with really nice bathroom facilities and Thank You for the Whittakers Chocolate and Lemons😊

Absolutely everything, the place was immaculate, the owners were friendly, did not have one single complaint. Really looking foward to returing soon!

Nothing.

Clean, modern, comfortable, well designed with a great host.....10/10

The flat is clean and beds àre comfy. Angela is helpful too. However, the bathroom is a bit uncomfortable, with both bedrooms having access to it as we are staying with a couple friends. We didn't get into the beach as the private access is closed. The photos are misleading as you can only enjoy the beach view through the host's main house. But generally, we had a great stay.

Great house with everything you need. Angela was great to deal with.

Excellent configuration, beautiful spot, had everything and more.

Nothing

A beautiful space overlooking the ocean. We were welcomed by the hosts, but then we had the space to ourselves to relax and enjoy. There is a community swimming spot within walking distance, and lots to explore in the area.

Clean comfortable and super close to Tututaka Dive. The private beach-rock pool is fantastic.

Angela, Lee and family were friendly and welcoming. The location is beautiful, the accommodation excellent. Comfortable and very clean with all the necessary appliances. Sunrise was magnificent. Angela also provided therapeutic massage for my wife at a very reasonable price. We are already planning our return for a longer stay to further explore this beautiful region. Lee suggested the Schapper Rock Restaurant in the local village which we would also highly recommend.

That we only stayed one night and had to leave.

Stunning location, well equipped and spotless and friendly, helpful owners.

Literally everything!! The place, the location, the host, the amenities, the property, the privacy, the hiking trail to the water,… I can go on and on. This property is way more than meets the eye. I needed more time than only one night!! Hopefully I’ll make it back soon. And you can even get massage therapy for an extra fee while you’re there 🤯 I thought I was going to get there, chill out and then dive the next day. After meeting your host, you’ll be full of ideas of how to spend your time. I dropped my stuff, walked to the water, drove to the local beach and then hiked the Whale Bay trail to a secluded and safe spot by the water to watch the sunset. Wow 🥰

With room comfortably for 4 people in 2 bedrooms, I only wish I could have teleported my friends to share this piece of paradise with me. I sound like a commercial 😀

Great views very comfy beds just great place to stay

Beautiful surroundings with bird calls Comfy bed Milk and coffee pods provided Good TV apps

Very disappointed by the private cove. Was looking forward to swimming there but the path down was in desperate need of attention and the water in cove itself did not look inviting....covered with a weird film. Also just rocks and no sand. Do not recommend walking to it. Drive to Whale Bay. Beautiful.

The two bedroom self contained unit was tucked away in a pleasant, quiet location, attached to the owners property. It is a safe private area, among the hilltops and country lifestyle. 5 minute drive to the Tutukaka fishing wharf and a 20 minute drive to Whangarei. The home has everything you need, including a BBQ area and the sound of nature at your feet.

Friendly host. Lovely wee granny flat / apartment attached to main house. Had everything you needed and was super clean, comfortable and had yummy products! They honestly care about this little gem and it shows. Great little walk to the private beach.

The fact we had to leave.....

Great location in the middle of some of the best beaches. Very comfortable bed with lovely linen. Nice selection of teas and coffee, and lovely shower products. Was a relaxing spot as a couple.

Everything! The kindness of the owner Angela, the wonderfull location, the apartment itself very comfortable and clean

Nothing

The tranquillity of the surroundings, private trail down to the cove, spacious accommodation, well equipped, good wifi

Angela was a generous host. Thoughtful with every detail. The property was like new - immaculately clean, warm and private. Appreciated the coffee pod machine and the personal attention of an essential oil inhalation for a cold. Fabulous walks in the area.

Immaculate apartment and great location just above Tutukaka. Perfect as a base for the surf beaches as well as the marina. Leave plenty of time to explore the bay.

Everything is just perfect, nothing to complain about.

Property views and surroundings are stunning, accommodation and host amazing highly recommended!!!

The location was perfect

Beautiful location. Very friendly and accomodating host with a lovely dog. Location is very convenient as it's close to Tutukaka for my diving activities. There is a lovely trail to a hidden cove with amazing sea views.

Nothing really. Driveway to the house against the ledge might be a little narrow for a larger vehicle.

Modern, clean and tidy very comfortable beds,peaceful location

The layout of the apartment is great. The accomodation has designed, well thought-out spaces.

Everything was great, it was quiet, clean, comfortable, close to everything, great hosts

Peace and quiet.

Nothing.

Angela is so lovely, friendly and helpful. The accommodation is great. Everything smells so good and the place was spotless. Very comfy bed with great quality linen. They've thought of everything really - great coffee machine, lovely amenities like shampoo, conditioner, body lotion. Great quality kitchenware and a fabulous bathroom! The private beach just a short walk down the hill is the real icing on the cake - just gorgeous. Also, the accommodation is a 5 min drive to the restaurants in Tutukaka, and six mins drive to the stunning Matapouri. We really hope to come back here because one night was definitely not enough!

oh very minor - maybe mini butters and jams?! Although - anything you need, Angela is happy to provide (I guess within reason!) - but she provided us with butter when we asked for it :)

Lovely hosts, location and area.

From 23 places we have stayed in NZ Was this place outstanding.. the apart.ent is brand new, interior perfect and stylish. The View is stunning. Very silent. Nice pattio, BBQ outside. 2 Bedrooms, nice pathroom, great friendly host. We wish we could stay longer
