About this property

Ruru Retreat - peaceful oasis set off the road, pet friendly!

  • Unwind at this peaceful oasis set well off the road in a bush setting. A private and secluded one bedroom cottage with a 5 minute walk to the coast and small boat access. Great snorkeling, diving, swimming, water sports and bush walks at your doorstep.
    Tuateawa is 19 km (30 min drive) from shops in the Coromandel town on a road that is partially sealed.
    Wake to the sound of bird calls and go to sleep with the sound of Ruru (Moreporks).
    Pets welcome, however property is not fenced and is surrounded by bush. A 4WD vehicle is required to drive to the property as the driveway is gravel and quite steep.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Tucked away on a hill in the bush, it felt private, peaceful, and perfect for switching off. The house was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. It’s also very well located for easy day trips - the scenery up there is something else and well worth the trip! We’d happily stay again and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing and peaceful getaway.
