Beautiful bach property, Sue is an incredible host

Had a fabulous short stay at Ruru Whare. I wish I could have stayed longer. It was so peaceful sitting on the sunny deck relaxing and watching the tide go in and out, and Mt Karioi in the distance.

Lovely stay looking out over the garden and fields. Only 15 mins from town. Enjoyed the warm sunny autumn mornings on the verandah. Well appointed cottage with 2 bedrooms and each with a bathroom. Essential food items provided. Very comfortable beds. Warm and cosy. Really enjoyed our stay.

We stayed for 3 days to hike in the area and visit Milford Sound. We liked everything about the property and the location.

Stayed in this cottage and it did not disappoint! The scenic drive to the cottage was wonderful, rolling hills and very peaceful. Sarah, the owner was in contact and made getting there and into the property super easy. The The drive into the gated property with its tree canopy was beautiful. The cottage was gorgeous, with little momentos of Hobbiton which is the reason we stayed in Matamata, for the Hobbiton Tour and Beer Fest. The breakfast supplied was fantastic, we picked up some smoky bacon to enjoy with fresh eggs and toast. The bed was sublimely comfortable and the backyard was bathed in sun in the Morning. Would absolutely stay here again but this time for a few days longer to really enjoy the cottage and its facilities, and the peacefulness of its location.

When tried to respond to manager the Stayz website just returned a “too many http redirects” error. So would not have been able to communicate with them. Not a problem for the property but for stayz.

What a delightful property the Red House is! 15 mins from Kaikoura and just a few steps from a wild, and pretty much deserted beach. The property was the perfect blend of comfort and convenience with thoughtful and imaginative styling. It felt cosy and traditional while having modern facilities to make your stay as stress-free as possible. A real gem that we will definitely be coming back to!

The cottage was fantastic with very comfy beds. Directly opposite a quiet beach, 15mins south of Napier and 15mins north of Hastings. We loved our stay there and the host Tony the host was very helpful. Highly recommended. A+++
