Summary: A very compact and comfotable whare. All that we needed was available, from linen to utensils. The shower was the perfect end to our days, roomy, and the right amount of water pressure.Unfortunately the weather did not play its part however that is beyond control. I hope we left it in order.

Summary: For us Ruru Whare is all about chilling out in a special place.Location by Aotea harbour is great for walks, swimming and relaxing on the studio deck watching the ever changing view. Ruru Whare is first class.

Summary: Loved view, comfortable couches, thoughtfulness of kitchen and towels etc, host was warm and great communication. Retracted from society, but also lovely to see the locals actively using the beach for fishing and boating. Beautiful clean linen, etc only let down in that regard was the mattress for my taste.
