Private Bay with Amazing Sea Views
***FREE CANCELLATION IN EVENT OF COVID-19 LOCKDOWN***
We have just renovated our wonderful holiday home - please come and enjoy it!
Situated in a stunning private bay is this wonderful holiday home complete with stunning ocean views. The 3 bedroom home is one of only 7 in the bay, it doesn't get more private and peaceful than this!
Sit on the deck and soak in the breathtaking ocean views of the Coromandel Harbour. Enjoy the early mornings as you open the curtains in the master bedroom and decide whether it is a day for fishing, swimming or simply relaxing.
This recently renovated holiday home provides you with everything that you need for a magical stay in Ruffins Bay:
KITCHEN & LIVING
With a brand new kitchen, you can enjoy cooking the fresh snapper that you caught that day! Wonderful open plan living with a super comfy sofa that is perfect for watching the world go by or for some afternoon relaxing. Wonderful indoor / outdoor floor with an inside dining table to enjoy your meal at (that is if you are not dining al fresco that evening). Flat screen TV with Netflix and Bluetooth Stereo make this a great entertaining space.
OUTDOOR LIVING
A large wrap around balcony allows you to soak up the stunning views in the bay. If you are lucky you may even get to spot the dolphins who like to come and visit us. A BBQ is available for guest use and there is a large outdoor table perfect for dining or enjoy a glass of wine. There is also an outdoor patio at the back of the house which is a wonderful sun trap and with easy access to the kitchen, is a perfect spot to enjoy a meal.
BATHROOM & LAUNDRY
Recently renovated bathroom and laundry, including washer and dryer that you can use during your stay.
BEDROOM ONE
Enjoy the early mornings as you open the curtains in the master bedroom and decide whether it is a day for fishing, swimming or simply relaxing. A super comfy queen bed will ensure that you sleep well.
BEDROOM TWO
This bedroom opens out onto the back patio allowing you to open the doors and enjoy letting the sunshine in. Another comfy queen bed will ensure that after a busy day in the bay that you sleep well.
BEDROOM THREE
**Please note that the third bedroom downstairs does not have internal access.**
This bedroom is situated downstairs from the main house via a covered walkway. It has a queen bed and as well as 32 inch TV (Netflix included!) making it a great space if you want to get away from it all. It also has an outdoor space where you can sit and enjoy the stunning views that Ruffins Bay has to offer.
The cleaning fee covers professional cleaner and laundered linen at the end of each giving you one less thing to worry about for your holiday.
