Beachfront hideaway in Ruffins Bay
Arrive at Ruffins Bay and arrive in paradise. This private beachfront property exceeds the expectations of anyone who stays here.
Amazing, magical, beautiful, tranquil and a peaceful hideaway are just some of the words guests have used to describe Ruffins Rocks.
The well-equipped house boasts fantastic sea views across to Coromandel Town and the bi-folding kitchen connect the house to the beach. Alfresco dining couldn't be easier with the covered deck and the only thing separating the house from the beach is the large lawn perfect for backyard cricket or an afternoon snooze.
There’s plenty of parking for the boat and it can be launched from the beach in front of the house. The Coromandel is the perfect place for hooking a snapper or perhaps just go for a leisurely paddle in one of the property’s kayaks.
The bay is accessed from a private road along from Wyuna Bay and is only shared with six other properties so enjoy the exclusivity of having the beach to yourself.
Build a sandcastle with the kids, walk to the jetty at the end of the bay and dangle of a line, have a paddle in the calm water at high-tide or find a shady spot and simply relax.
A bush walk from the back of the property will take you up to the top of the hill where you will be rewarded by an impressive sunset.
The property is well-equipped with all the luxuries of home including wi-fi, gas stove top, dishwasher, washing machine and fireplace. It is modern, warm and comfortable.
Set slightly back from the beach, the three bedroom house (including sleep-out) offers privacy and birdsong.
A quick 7-minute car ride will take you into Coromandel Town for shops, cafes and restaurants where the are plenty of options for dining out.
Ruffins Rocks is the perfect setting for a romantic getaway, fishing trip, weekend away with friends or a family holiday to make memories with the kids.
For larger groups or extended families, a neighbouring property is also available for rent. Please ask for more details.

What an amazing location for a holiday! Lovely house with a beautiful warm fire and spectacular views. We even had a visit from a large pod of dolphins into the bay which really made it a really special holiday.
A beautiful property and amazing scenery. So peaceful and relaxing. Hosts were wonderful and a highly recommend anyone to stay here. We will definately be back :-)
Such a special little spot to regroup as a family. The property was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. It is just as breathtaking as you would imagine from the listing photos
The perfect spot to unwind with family! Property was clean and Tidy and suitable for kids. We took the kayaks for a paddle, fished at the end of the wharf, went swimming and enjoyed a few of the local kauri tree walks. Great holiday spot. Thank you for letting us share your Bach!
The delight to see it the same, was awesome, the closeness to the beach our old realities managed the stairs and walk easily. The Californian Quail waiting at the v=back door when we woke was a delete, nicely furnished, well appointed, loved doing the linen extra this time!! Thanks we will be back !
Such a beautiful place to stay. We enjoyed the bach's view and comfort. We did the walk to Long Beach and Tuck Beach and around the Kauri tree - really recommend this walk. Thank you Char for being so accommodating with linen supply. Thank you Nikki for the privilege to use your bach.
The perfect place to unwind and recharge your batteries. The peace and quiet only broken by the visiting birds. The beach is great for swimming and kayaking, fishing off the rocks is very enjoyable. The property is extremely comfortable with all amenities you need for a wonderful break. The host is easy to communicate with and prompt to reply. This was the perfect venue for our extended family to have a great break. We will be returning.
Wonderful bach. Had everything you need. We fished at the mussel farms and surrounds each day. Launching and retrieving the boat was easy enough at the bottom of the driveway - we have a 6.5 metre runabout. Nikki was fantastic to deal with.
Awesome spot. Would stay again for sure.
Outside Rubbish’s bins we’re full when we got there so felt sink to put our two bags on ground. Hope the cats didn’t get in to them.
Loved our stay here. We made great use of the kayaks, and the walk behind the house to the top of the hill was stunning. Breakfast every morning on the deck was always a fab start to the day and a great place to relax in the evening. The location was also a good base for things to do around Coromandel.
The house had everything we needed for a Christmas we'll always remember fondly. Would love to come back one day. Thank you, Nikki!
We loved our little stay, Great location, very private bay.. The house was welcoming with everything we needed to make great memories with our family. The Host was super friendly with communication being very prompt. HIGHLY recommend!
