Private Bay with Amazing Sea Views

***FREE CANCELLATION IN EVENT OF COVID-19 LOCKDOWN***

We have just renovated our wonderful holiday home - please come and enjoy it!

Situated in a stunning private bay is this wonderful holiday home complete with stunning ocean views. The 3 bedroom home is one of only 7 in the bay, it doesn't get more private and peaceful than this!

Sit on the deck and soak in the breathtaking ocean views of the Coromandel Harbour. Enjoy the early mornings as you open the curtains in the master bedroom and decide whether it is a day for fishing, swimming or simply relaxing.

This recently renovated holiday home provides you with everything that you need for a magical stay in Ruffins Bay:

KITCHEN & LIVING
With a brand new kitchen, you can enjoy cooking the fresh snapper that you caught that day! Wonderful open plan living with a super comfy sofa that is perfect for watching the world go by or for some afternoon relaxing. Wonderful indoor / outdoor floor with an inside dining table to enjoy your meal at (that is if you are not dining al fresco that evening). Flat screen TV with Netflix and Bluetooth Stereo make this a great entertaining space.

OUTDOOR LIVING
A large wrap around balcony allows you to soak up the stunning views in the bay. If you are lucky you may even get to spot the dolphins who like to come and visit us. A BBQ is available for guest use and there is a large outdoor table perfect for dining or enjoy a glass of wine. There is also an outdoor patio at the back of the house which is a wonderful sun trap and with easy access to the kitchen, is a perfect spot to enjoy a meal.

Just as described
The bay is beautiful, the surroundings are very nice and private, the view is very pretty, and the town is really close. The bach, although comfortable is quite basic. Shower is pretty small, the windows don't close very tightly which makes it cold during winter time. The description is accurate, read carefully as I did not - and was not prepared for the advertised "Kiwi back tradition" of having to bring linen and towels - fortunately the owner kindly arranged it for us for a reasonable cost.

We really enjoyed our stay at the bach! The view is amazing and the fascilities were great. I think it is ideal for staying in the area, if you have a car. The little drive in comes complete with a daily visit from the bunnies in the area. Thanks for hosting us!

This is a really special spot. We loved the view and the private beach, and being able to step out of the door to have a swim. And the bach is beautifully decorated. We would love to come back again one day. How special to have that in the family! Thanks for sharing with us :)

A nicely renovated bach in a beautiful and secluded bay. Launching our jet ski from straight in front of the bach made life easy and the fishing was great. Lynne was easy to deal with and the neighbours were very friendly. We would love to come back.

Beautiful Private Haven
Had a magical couple of days as a family relaxing at this wonderfully private Bach. Superb location, superb host, superb accommodation. Having had to cancel twice due to past Covid restrictions - so happy we finally managed to stay. Definitely check out Umu Cafe in Coromandel town. Food is amazing. Staff are lovely.

Little piece of paradise
We loved our stay here. We were able to book two bach's side by side which was perfect for our extended family (6 adults, 4 kids). The bach had an amazing view over the bay and had it's own private boat ramp. Being right on the beach meant out kids were always occupied. The use of the kayaks was also much appreciated. The bach itself was cosy and comfortable and had everything we needed. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Lovely quiet spot
We loved our stay, way off the beaten path, but at the same time very convenient to Cormandel Village. Very comfortable bach, beautiful beach and view, with everything we needed! It was so relaxing to hear the birds sing, the leaves rustle in the trees, a few raindrops on the roof and occasional sound of kids laughing, what could be better?!?
