About this property

Marotere - Waterfront beach house

Near new house with unobstructed waterfront views to capture the ever changing Ruakaka estuary and beautiful views out to Bream Bay, the Hen and Chicks and Whangarei Heads.

Tranquil location in a quiet cul-de-sac with the estuary offering safe swimming, kayaking and paddle-boarding. The surf is 500m away across the estuary or three minutes in the car to the patrolled area.

Modern spacious house with a funky vibe, huge decks and a large flat lawn to play on. Fabulous views from the open plan living area and all the bedrooms have a smaller sea view and open onto the decks. Enjoy the ukuleles for a sing along!

Off street parking for up to 4 cars and a boat. Boat ramp 300m away for easy access to renowned Bream Bay.

Ruakaka Estuary is a wildlife refuge home to many species of seabirds and a breeding colony for rare dotterels and fairy terns as well as oystercatchers. So sorry no pets .

You can walk to the dairy, cafe at the surf beach and the local takeaway and it's a short drive to the supermarket and a couple of other cafes.

90 minutes from Auckland. If you ever want to leave, it's about 10mins to Waipu and Marsden Cove and 25 mins to Whangarei and Mangawhai. 5 min to Waipu Golf Club's links course with magnificent ocean views.

Great stay
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed this property. Only negative is there is no wifi. We are from out of country so had no data and having no wifi made it very difficult to communicate with other people we were there with for a wedding. And no mention in the add that there is no wifi. But we would stay there again for sure!!

Family time at Ruakaka
Beautiful location, quiet, well appointed light and airy. We really enjoyed our time at this accommodation. All family members enjoyed the accomodation except the young adult and teen were disappointed by the lack of Wifi.
