As soon as you turn into the Ruru Retreat driveway, you will find yourself in an amazing space full of native bird song and a wonderful garden to walk around. The stay itself was quality right down to the shower, crockery and bedding. Little things like great lighting, lots of power points, usb plugs, a comfy couch, coffee plunger and milk frother made for a most comfortable and romantic stay. The best thing is that the retreat is also central to the city centre, with a lovely wee restaurant and supermarket down the way. Simply put The Ruru Retreat is everything you will need and want in an accommodation.
