We booked Ruru Retreat on a friend's recommendation, and it exceeded our expectations. Tucked away in what feels like a secret forest this immaculate accommodation is modern, sparkling clean and full of character. Although only a 10 minute drive to the centre of town the setting is so private, with dense bush and a trickling stream right outside your windows. The personal touches that Wayne and Donna have included make it truly a home away from home. A super comfy bed with luxurious linen and big fluffy towels in the bathroom. The breakfast basket was like opening a surprise treat every morning. With a hot tub amongst the trees to soak in while listening to the moreporks at night was the cherry on top. We'll be telling all our friends about this gem, and will return ourselves without a doubt.
