Barefoot Bach - Steps from the Beach!

Ruakākā, Northland Region, New Zealand

Classic Kiwiana Family Beach Escape. Unwind in a quiet, sun-soaked spot just steps from a wide, uncrowded beach. Hear the waves from the front porch as you relax, or grab the surfboard or kayaks for a paddle. Evenings toasting marshmallows, watching Netflix or Disney, or enjoy the games provided. brbrEnjoy our own family's holiday home, a getaway for guests who appreciate the imperfect, easygoing, nostalgic bach experience.brbrCome for the beach, stay for the simplicity. Your coastal escape awaits.brbrLocated in Ruakākā, Barefoot Bach is our own family's holiday home. Whilst we've done a little updating and freshening, we consciously wanted to keep that old style kiwi Bach feel, so the house is very original. Please keep this in mind before renting, this is NOT a new house.brbrOnly a few short steps to a fabulous wide, white sandy surf, means that you can hear the waves break from the comfort of the hammock or Balinese lounger on the sunny front deck. Kick off your day with a freshly brewed coffee from the coffee machine (BYO favourite grind!) and use the fully equipped kitchen to put together a cook up for the family. brbrThe home is suitable for Summer or winter, with a heat pump for year-round temperature control, open fire, and outdoor areas for alfresco meals. Settle in for the evening with a Netflix movie or enjoy the range of indoor and outdoor games on site.brbrThree bedrooms for your comfort, each appointed with comfy beds, make this holiday home the ideal destination for a relaxed friends retreat or a beach friendly family getaway. brbrPlease note our home is on a very quiet street, with young families, so this is not a party house, we welcome guests who will be respectful of both our home and our lovely neighbours. brbr From this amazing location you can take a short 1-2 minute walk to Ruakaka Beach at the end of the road. A long stretch of white sand and waves crashing on the shore, to allow you to make use of the surfboards, boogie boards and kayaks on site. brbrThe bach is just a two-minute drive from the local store and restaurants if you need supplies or feel like venturing out for a meal. Or check out beautiful and historic Waipu nearby. Also near the shops is a playground and skatepark, and the local community centre offers pay as you go use of the gym and fitness classes. brbrOther things to note:brHouse Sleeping arrangements are as follows (This platform's settings don't allow me to accurately list bed arrangements!brBed 1 - King Size bedbrBed 2 - Queen Size BedbrBed 3 - Twin Single beds (2)brLiving Room - 2 Single airbeds (or use these in one of the bedrooms if you prefer)brbrSleep out - NOT INCLUDED IN NIGHT RATE, We have converted the garage into a sleepout for our teens, it has bunk bed, fridge/freezer, TV with chromecast (play your streaming from your phone or BYO Gaming console to plug in). two extra single mattresses allow it to sleep 4.
