Lovely clean, great views
Love the view.
Nice and clean, well behaved dogs apart from the peeing on my Tyre.
Privacy blinds would be great, as recommended by another also. As you are on full display anytime someone goes ides the driveway. Had to have curtains closed on that side the whole time for privacy. The views are blocked by the hedges, can only see them when standing. Woke me at 8am loading something on to the truck. Ride on mower going past room and kids riding up and down driveway. Towels rock hard and stiff like cardboard. If you want privacy this place definitely isn't for you.
This place is great with excellent facilities, has a great location being centrally positioned between Whangarei and Waipu Cove and has awesome views of the surrounding countryside. We used the bnb as a base for visiting family who live in the area. The owners have two lovely dogs who love a pat and will greet you on your arrival but also know they are not allowed inside your unit. Overall a great stay.

Beautiful location and lovely room with everything you require.
Beautiful place to stay in Ruakaka. We had a perfect one night stay. The unit was super comfortable and clean. The views are amazing and a great place to look at the stars. Coco and Loki the dogs were so cute and friendly. We would love to stay again!
Stunningly beautiful spot with a warm cosy unit. Highly recommended

Greetings from the 2 dogs 🐕 made it so comfortable. The unit was absolutely top class.
I couldn't get the hot plate to work. Probably me. No biggie, I used the microwave.
Excellent stay. Amazing views on both sides of the property. Great facilities modern and spacious
a quiet clean and comfortable well -designed modern studio for a long or short stay. Beautiful scenic views. 🙂👌
Spacious and peaceful. Clean and private. It was lovely having Loki and Coco around.
Great place to stay, beautiful views. A lot of effort and love was put into this place. You feel in a comfortable home instead of a cold hotel. Just a shame I couldn’t stay longer.
The view from the bed and warm welcoming the dogs. :)

Quiet location, very well appointed unit with everything you need and some. Very impressed and highly recommended . Adore the dogs.
Could do with privacy sheers/blinds on sliding doors as an added bonus
Un lugar encantador alejado de la carretera principal, a unos 800 metros; la familia vive en la propiedad; todo está impecable; una pequeña cocina para prepararse la comida o el desayuno; el amplio jardín ofrece vistas a la campiña con una espectacular puesta de sol y al mar con un amanecer espectacular. Si algún día volvemos al norte de NZ sin duda volveremos
Nada, todo perfecto
Loved everything
Excellent view, well equipped, comfortable, spectacular location.
Liked everything but freak weather obscured the view.
Big shower, comfy bed, beautiful view, friendly dogs.
Unfortunately the streaming service didn't work but apparently that was unusual.
Very clean and well maintained, entire property well cared for, beautiful views, even great greeters (dogs)
A little trouble figuring out the coffee maker
The view, the dogs, the bed and the shower. All very nice, excellent value. Thank you for a lovely night!
Posizione fantastica
A gorgeous well-equipped unit, with beautiful views out over the surrounding farmland and sea.
Location, comfort, communication, visit from the two gentlest dogs!
Was very hot on arrival as curtains & blinds open in direct sunlight, but I switched the air-conditioning on.
Close to shop and Beach
Was very nicely set up! Beautiful views to unwind - eat dinner n couple beers after a big day travelling!

The unit was perfect for our short 1 night stay. Everything we needed was there, the location was perfect for us. The unit is nicely decorated with lovely furnishings, well planned layout for a small area, but plenty of space for two. We would definitely come back again and recommend to others for a peaceful relaxing stay. Did I mention the views? Awesome!

Clean, spacious, great views everything is there

Really spacious room containing everything you could want. Nice little side kitchen with coffee machine and small container of ground coffee which we really appreciated. Good quality bed linen and great bathroom complete with all toiletries. We booked the same afternoon we stayed so very appreciative of the space. Were welcomed upon arrival which we appreciated as we were very tired. Bad weather so we couldn’t really see the view that others referred to. The lovely dogs also deserve a mention.
Nothing! It was perfect.
Nice view, quiet, nice dogs
Nádherné výhledy, pohodoví psi, káva k dispozici. Moc jsme si to tam užili.
Amazingly stunning views; lovely host Veronique. Friendly dogs a bonus. Room was large, comfortable, small well equipped kitchen. Lovely, modern room and bathroom. Would highly recommend.
It may have been an oversight, but no coffee for the coffee machine?
Très bon accueil par la propriétaire et ses chez chiens très affectueux . Maison impeccable et très confortable.
Great location and very nice hosts ! Would love to come back!
Excellent communication. Very clean and a lovely large comfortable bed. Very peaceful and quiet, with room to move around easily. Location easy to get to and very relaxing. Everything we needed for a one night stop.
It had everything we needed, and great location.
The air conditioning didn’t work but it didn’t bother us.
Beautiful unit, quiet with great views and facilities. Perfect for our stay. Good communications made things simple.
Everything was great.
The views are amazing. It’s also a quiet location. And the welcoming committee of the puppies just makes it more wonderful
Easy to find, friendly people, friendly pups. Fantastic views.
Everything was perfect
A comfortable studio with everything in place for a great stay. The bonus is the amazing views all around. A beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Highly recommended

Tolle Unterkunft. Sehr schöne Aussicht.

Einfach alles. Lage/Ausblick, Einrichtung/Ausstattung, Terassse und super nette Gastgeber
Nice quiet location with a great view of Bream Bay. Had a nice welcoming from the resident dogs. Great photo location.
Relaxing and ideal for our needs Great welcome by the furbabies
Beautiful views, quiet and peaceful. Very comfortable.
Honestly, do not have a bad comment to make. it was a pleasure. Only wish we could have stayed longer.
Very picturesque and relaxing
Very modern and clean
Stunning view, I had a great stay. Room with private bathroom and ensuite kitchen was nice and clean. Host was very helpful and friendly. The place is part of ranch style house, but separated by a locked door. I highly recommend.
We had a very nice and relaxing stay. Beautiful accomodations. We met the owner of the property and he was a pleasure to talk to. The highlight of our stay was meeting Coco & Loki. They were very sweet and well mannered dogs. We recommend it to all.
Amazing views from every window. Warm and private space. Sat outside on the patio for breakfast soaking up the sun. Close to Ruakākā beach - great for short or long walks.
No complaints.
Private and very relaxing with 180 degree views from the hill, watch the sunrise and sunset! Nicely laid out, great bed and 2 very friendly dogs to keep you company. Ruakaka & Uretiti Beaches, Waipu & Piroa Falls all nearby. A great place to stay if you heading up north from AKL or coming down from up north.
Great location, lovely unit and facilities. Would definitely stay there again
Geweldige locatie met mooi uitzicht en 2 hele lieve honden. Tevens was de accommodatie zelf ook top met een groot bed en grote kamer met alle faciliteiten die je nodig bent.

The property was really neat and peaceful. The dogs were very friendly and well behaved. 😄

There was no breakfast breakfast but the view was beautiful
A comfortable chair would have been great
L accueil, le site avec vue imprenable, le logement dans lequel on se sent comme chez soit et très bien équipé

Quiet and great location
The location was perfect for our night away. There were some breakfast cereals provided which was appreciated, thank you.
I did notice that the instant coffee had dried up and the tea bags in the wooden box hadn't been replenished.
Large room great kitchen facilities and friendly dogs
Comfy king bed and wonderful walkin shower. Beautiful views with rising and setting sun. Quiet and restful after a busy week travelling. Hosts young sons assisted me by opening the gate(2 friendly dogs greet you) and carrying in my bags for me.
Breakfast was very basic with Weetbix and cereal bowls so high that access was difficult. There was a box for a selection of teas, however no teas and 1 sugar sachet. I could not reach the coffee jar on the cupboards top shelf, however it looked like it was almost empty. Fortunate that I had brought some tea and coffee with me. Have stayed some time ago and overall I felt this time it did not match the previous high standard
Great location looking out over Bream Bay to Whangarei Heads. Quiet. Excellent host who reconnected me to my forgotten charger, friendly pets. Couldn’t ask for more for a stay.
