Rua was a lovely little place to stay, with some really interesting information provided about how it was culturally significant to the family who hosted us. We wish we could have stayed a little longer to enjoy reading some of the books provided! It provided the perfect spot to springboard to our Rakiura trek we had booked, and the ferry was nearby and easy to get to. The fresh milk and cookies provided were appreciated. The apartment was spotless and comfortable, with lots of labels and information in traditional Māori language which was fascinating. We appreciated the effort made to create a thoughtful and sustainable stay.
