Discover Ruakaka – a laid-back coastal town just 1 hour and 30 minutes north of Auckland.

With kilometres of sandy beach right on your doorstep, you can enjoy surfing and swimming (there’s a patrolled surf club), stroll along the shore, or simply relax and take in the sea air. It’s also a great base for fishing, with excellent launching facilities at nearby Marsden Cove.

Explore the wider Bream Bay area – Waipu Golf Course and Ruakaka Race Track are close by, and Waipu village offers great dining and boutique shopping. Waipu Cove and Langs Beach provide more stunning beaches and coastal walks. Full details and recommendations will be in your digital guidebook when you book.

There’s no public transport in the area, so you’ll need your own vehicle to get around and make the most of your stay.
