Ruffins Bay is a lovely, quiet, east-facing and sheltered bay, accessed via a narrow private road from Wyuna Bay. There are only a few other houses in the bay, so it almost felt like we had it to ourselves.
There were two couples in our party, staying for two nights. My husband and I had the upstairs bedroom at the front and our friends took the downstairs one (accessed via external stairs) rather than the upstairs one at the back, for the fabulous view over the bay. We saw a beautiful sunrise one morning and our friends reported a sky full of stars when they got up to use the bathroom (located upstairs) during the night.
The kitchen was well equipped and we felt at home in the house.
We enjoyed tasty pizzas and brunch at Umu cafe, and dinner one night at Peppertree restaurant, in addition to a relaxed lunch outside at Coromandel Oysters, sitting by the water. The Driving Creek railway was also a highlight of our stay.
Thanks to Lynne for being so flexible as we had to cancel twice due to Covid before we finally got to enjoy this special spot.
