Tucked away down a long driveway you will find Ridge Haven. A family owned and operated studio apartment on the bottom floor of our family home which offers the relaxed quiet home away from home feel. If you don’t fancy visiting the close by cafe’s and restaurants the apartment has all that you need to cater for yourself. Fully equipped with fridge/freezer, oven, microwave and all the necessary kitchen utensils you will require. The studio apartment accommodates up to 4 people comfortably with a queen bed, single bed and sofa bed all in an open plan living area. The kitchen opens out onto a private patio and lawn area with BBQ, seating and hammocks hung from the palm trees in the summer months and views through the Pohutakawa Tree out to sea! Bathroom with shower only and lots off street parking available. Sometimes you might be greeted by the owners super friendly cats Goldie and Smokey and big dog Carlo - so if you are allergic to cats and dogs please make sure you have antihistamines on hand.
Hello Everyone, I'm Terrianne the owner of Ridge Haven Accommodation. Having spent 5 years living in London and travelling extensively I returned to Ruakaka and co-managed a Motel for eight years. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting people and sharing my knowledge of what our area has to offer. On purchasing my home I realised I miss the interaction with meeting people so decided to convert the bottom floor of my home into accommodation.
Our beach culture is what we love most about living in Ruakaka. The picturesque beach is surf patrolled during summer months, with safe swimming for young children at the estuary. Other nearby activities include paddle boarding, surfing, fishing, horse treks, coastal walks, golf, markets, museums, restaurants, diving and fishing boat charters and beauty spas. Marsden Cove Marina is 10 minutes away and North Port only 7 minutes. Ruakaka Motorcross Park 5kms away. Just under 1.5 hours from Auckland City and 20 minutes to Whangarei, Ruakaka makes the perfect spot to stop on your travels North or South. The local supermarket and shops are a few minutes' drive or stroll to the dairy for an ice-cream or the weekend newspaper or cafe for morning coffee.
