Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific beach rentals

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.

We had a lovely relaxing time in this property. It really felt like home and had everything you could need. The kitchen was very well stocked and the double basins in the bathroom were great. Lots of games and entertainment options were also available including kayaks and a pool table. But the best thing of all was the absolutely stunning views from the deck.

Fabulous stay! The property is in a beautiful setting amid lots of green trees and bushes with lots of lovely birds flitting about. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen facilities adequate, cosy TV room and a beautiful outdoor space with magnificent views. There are quite a few stairs to the apartment. Lovely touch was the inclusion of muesli, yoghurt, milk and tea and coffee. Rozelle was a lovely host who gave us some great recommendations for our stay.

Thanks to our excellent hosts George and Chris, our stay was a very pleasant experience and we have no complaints whatsoever. We most certainly will make a booking with them when staying in the area in future.

Great house and location, packed with amenities and Michelle was lovely to deal with. I would recommend anyone that comes to callala beach to stay here. Thanks again for a great stay.

The property is indeed a little white shack that has everything you need for a beach stay. It is superbly situated and perfect for us and our little mini schnauzer.

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!
