Taotahi Hideaway - Ruakaka Waterfront
Perfect for families and groups, this coastal retreat combines comfort, convenience, and a relaxed beachy vibe for an unforgettable getaway. The property is fully fenced and pet-friendly.
The open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area create the heart of the home, offering space to gather, share meals, or unwind after a day in the sun. Step outside to the deck, where outdoor furniture, a BBQ, and an outdoor sink make alfresco dining effortless and enjoyable. All four bedrooms are designed for comfort, while the two bathrooms ensure convenience for everyone. The layout balances shared spaces with private areas, giving both connection and moments of quiet when needed.
For more adventure, guests can enjoy a 20-minute walk along the beach or a two-minute drive via road to the Ruakaka Horse Racing Track, where the surf meets the turf. It is only 3 minutes by car to the Ruakaka Shopping Centre, offering a full supermarket, chemist, and multiple dining options. Marsden Marina is just a 10-minute drive away, perfect for launching a boat or enjoying one of the marina restaurants.
With its prime beachfront location, family-friendly design, and thoughtfully arranged spaces, Taotahi Hideaway is the ultimate setting to unwind, reconnect, and create lasting memories by the beach.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
While the property is pet-friendly, dogs are not permitted on the furniture or inside the carpeted bedrooms.
Please note that the fourth bedroom is accessed externally from the main house.
