The kids will also love the table tennis table for a bit of competitive fun. On a mid-winter getaway, turn on the electric heating for a cosy ambience as you sip on a hot cuppa, or during a summer stay, you’ll love the seamless indoor-outdoor flow onto the deck to enjoy a delicious BBQ feast with a few sides whipped up in the fully equipped kitchen. You’re sure to get a good night's rest at Ruakākā River Retreat. Three bedrooms sleep up to six guests, with two bathrooms and a washing machine completing the setup for your stay. Ruakākā is filled with natural beauty to be explored. If you're bringing your own paddle board or kayak you can launch it right on your doorstep. Enjoy a stroll or dip at Ruakākā Beach a four-minute drive away from home, or treat yourself to a massage at Body Warrant eight minutes away by car. You’re just a quick 3-minute drive, or 10-minute walk down the river to the Ruakākā town centre, top-up on supplies at Fresh Choice, or for some good old Kiwi fish and chips stop into Bream Bay takeaways. Further afield, drive 14 minutes to the historical Waipu, discover the museum and galleries here, and you must try the famous Pizza Barn for a tasty meal and brew. Simply relax and unwind on your next Ruakākā...
