Ruakaka River and Beach Apartment

Ruakaka River and Beach Apartment

10/10 Excellent
"The place was comfortable, clean had everything we needed. Especially when we booked the wrong night and we had travelled through a day early, Carol was able to sort it for us. It was close to the beach and to their little town. Although it was half hour each day to the sports ground it was still lovely to arrive at the apartment at the end of day to relax. The people of Ruakaka were so lovely and friendly highly recommended staying here."
