It's not often you read Air BnB reviews which are so glowing and then find the reality is as good or even better than the reviews lead you to believe. Wayne and Donna's Ruru Retreat is such a place. Tucked away on a couple of acres of bush surrounded by birdsong all within easy distance of the city centre, Ruru Retreat is an oasis of tranquility and peace. Everything was perfect - the spotlessly clean accommodation, wonderful breakfast goodies, great water pressure, hot tub in the bush, warm welcome and conversation and even the range of boy's toys Wayne had dotted around the two garages. Finding available dates at Ruru Retreat can be difficult and it is easy to see why. We warmly recommend this as a place to stay when visiting New Plymouth.
