Beachfront hideaway in Ruffins Bay

Arrive at Ruffins Bay and arrive in paradise. This private beachfront property exceeds the expectations of anyone who stays here.

Amazing, magical, beautiful, tranquil and a peaceful hideaway are just some of the words guests have used to describe Ruffins Rocks.

The well-equipped house boasts fantastic sea views across to Coromandel Town and the bi-folding kitchen connect the house to the beach. Alfresco dining couldn't be easier with the covered deck and the only thing separating the house from the beach is the large lawn perfect for backyard cricket or an afternoon snooze.

There’s plenty of parking for the boat and it can be launched from the beach in front of the house. The Coromandel is the perfect place for hooking a snapper or perhaps just go for a leisurely paddle in one of the property’s kayaks.

The bay is accessed from a private road along from Wyuna Bay and is only shared with six other properties so enjoy the exclusivity of having the beach to yourself.

Build a sandcastle with the kids, walk to the jetty at the end of the bay and dangle of a line, have a paddle in the calm water at high-tide or find a shady spot and simply relax.

A bush walk from the back of the property will take you up to the top of the hill where you will be rewarded by an impressive sunset.

The property is well-equipped with all the luxuries of home including wi-fi, gas stove top, dishwasher, washing machine and fireplace. It is modern, warm and comfortable.

Set slightly back from the beach, the three bedroom house (including sleep-out) offers privacy and birdsong.

A quick 7-minute car ride will take you into Coromandel Town for shops, cafes and restaurants where the are plenty of options for dining out.

Ruffins Rocks is the perfect setting for a romantic getaway, fishing trip, weekend away with friends or a family holiday to make memories with the kids.

The perfect spot to unwind with family! Property was clean and Tidy and suitable for kids. We took the kayaks for a paddle, fished at the end of the wharf, went swimming and enjoyed a few of the local kauri tree walks. Great holiday spot. Thank you for letting us share your Bach!

Easter Break Fishing Trip
Wonderful bach. Had everything you need. We fished at the mussel farms and surrounds each day. Launching and retrieving the boat was easy enough at the bottom of the driveway - we have a 6.5 metre runabout. Nikki was fantastic to deal with.

Absolutely perfect
Loved our stay here. We made great use of the kayaks, and the walk behind the house to the top of the hill was stunning. Breakfast every morning on the deck was always a fab start to the day and a great place to relax in the evening. The location was also a good base for things to do around Coromandel. The house had everything we needed for a Christmas we'll always remember fondly. Would love to come back one day. Thank you, Nikki!

A very relaxing get away
Beautifully clean, very quiet location. My only negative is had to do dishes and put them away before we left, normally you just put the dishwasher on and the cleaner puts them away, that's what the cleaning fee should include.

Comfortable bach with amazing views and great location
We chose this location because we were able to book two bach's side by side for our extended family holiday. We loved the location with it's private beach and boat ramp right outside. Our kids had an awesome time using the kayaks and exploring the surrounds. The bach itself was cosy and comfortable with everything we needed.
