About this property

"Ruruwai" Perfect Piha Beach getaway

This near new, high end, 1 bedroom, apartment like property is situated in a prime Piha location walking distance to everything. This property combines hotel like luxury with a relaxed beach feel and all the mod cons you could ask for. Fully self contained, it boasts a full sized kitchen, and beautiful bathroom with walk in shower. Open up the huge sliding doors and look out to Lion Rock and across the river to the Waitakere Ranges national park across the road. There is spacious sun drenched terrace, a private outdoor courtyard and outdoor shower for after the beach. If you’d like to stay in, there is Wifi, a 50” TV, Netflix, chrome cast, aircon / heat pump and a super comfy sofa to sink into and relax. Fully appointed with linen, towels, beach towels, and guest amenities, so all you need to do is show up and chill out. All brand new, double glazed and fully insulated with a high-end finish – this is your home away from home! The name "Ruruwai" is a combination of Ruru (New Zealands native owl also known as the Morepork because of it's call) and "wai" meaning water. There are many native birds in Piha and you will see a lot of them, and hopefully hear the Ruru at night. You are a 2 min walk to the Piha Store, Café, Art Gallery, Bowling Club (for a beer and food) and a 5 min walk to the stunning Piha Beach and Lion Rock. Walking track to the Kitekite falls waterfall and Waitakere Ranges National Park at the end of the road and located right on the world famous Hillary Trail. You really can leave your car at the house and walk everywhere. Free carparking directly across the road. Garage below is reserved for the owners, but if you have bulkier items you need secure storage for let us know. The garage will open from time to time but this will be minimal and during reasonable hours only. Portacot and highchair also available on request. Guest access There are two houses on the property and the owners live in the house behind. The driveway and the first part of the stairs are shared. But your place is totally seperate, private and fully self contained. Where you'll sleep Bedroom. Mosquito screens over windows. Wardrobe. USB plugs either side of bed. Double glazed windows.

Piha getaway
My husband and I had a lovely weekend away staying at "Ruruwai" apartment. Very convenient location with very short walk to the store, gallery and of course the beach We also enjoyed a lovely bush walk from the end of the road we stayed on up to the Kitekite falls and were treated to a sighting of a Kereru (native wood pigeon) Amber and Willie - the hosts - were super helpful and friendly. The apartment is set away from the main house, so you can remain completely private if you wish. The apartment is beautifully clean and fully self contained with everything you could possibly need. Would definitely recommend for single or couple.
