Enviable location and house
A spacious, modern and homely house situated at the end of a cul-de-sac close to the beach, surf club, dairy and cafe. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone wishing to enjoy the sun, sea and sights of Ruakaka and surrounds!

Family Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at Leonie's Beach house. We had a range of all ages staying in the house and everyone was well catered to with games, puzzles, a highchair, a well equipped kitchen and very comfortable couches and beds. We hope to back again one day soon to enjoy this wonderful place for longer! Leonie was a fabulous hostess with clear and quick communication.

Lovely home, clean, tidy, so easy.
Really lovely home, very clean and tidy. Spacious, light, quiet. Outdoor tap around the side is great for cleaning feet after the beach, or shower if needed. Living area is on the top floor, so feel elevated which is lovely. Loads of light and air. I'd be quite happy to move in lol! Thanks :)

Perfect
The house was super clean and tidy, rooms were a great size and with 6 adults in the house the two bathrooms meant no waiting for showers. Great location as well - only a few minutes walk from the beach and a great little cafe. Leonie was also a great host - passed on thorough instructions and was really easy to deal with.

Great location near the surf beach. Will definitely come again. Very highly recommended. Owners couldn’t have been more helpful. No wifi but that’s not a biggie.
