The Retreat is a magical and tranquil place for a getaway, its location is perfect with beaches and cafes only a 20 min drive away. I highly recommend Ruakaka Beach if you have your furbabies with you. The place was really cozy and comfortable, and had all the right spaces for everything you need. Mark is the perfect host with great communication and was very supportive when I had issues with my car. This place was amazing and would definitely love to come back again!
