Discover Ruakaka Beach - an idyllic, laid-back coastal town just an easy 1 hour and 30 minutes` drive north from Auckland.

With kilometers of sandy beach right at your doorstep, you`ll be able to enjoy surfing and/or swimming (there`s a patrolled surf club at the beach), walking around the area, or as far as you like along the beach. A great base to go fishing from, with excellent launching facitilities at Marsden Cove. Or just sit back and relax at your accommodation with a nice glass of something refreshing!

Waipu Golf Course is very close, as is the Ruakaka Race Track. Waipu is great for a visit, with excellent eating out options, and Waipu Cove/Langs Beach for another beach option and great walking. These will all be listed in the Digital Guidebook we send you when you book.

Your best option for transport here is to have or hire your own car. Ruakaka Beach and the Bach Cafe are within walking distance, but if you`d like to explore the area further you will need a vehicle as there is no public transport.
