Mar 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place and location Great property with everything you need, short walk to the beach ##### Alex T. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Desiree C. Feb 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent home away from home After an initial mix up with the lock box, we entered a beautiful yet simple home which was perfect for our family of four. The kids had a bedroom each, ours was down the other end of the house with an ensuite. The kitchen was well equipped and allowed you to be part of the main house goings-on due to it's location. We really loved staying at Ruru. During the 3 minute walk to the beach, we made friends with some local horses who loved a good scratch on the neck. These became quite a highlight of our stay! I would (and have) recommend this accommodation to anyone looking in this area. ##### Desiree C.
