The property
Enjoy stunning ocean views over Bream Bay and the Ruakākā River from this peaceful, private property, surrounded by well-established trees that attract abundant birdlife. Discover the perfect riverside escape at River Ridge Retreat nestled on the banks of the Ruakākā estuary. A haven for bird lovers and watersport enthusiasts alike, this retreat offers endless opportunities to explore serene waters and enjoy the vibrant wildlife that thrives in this idyllic setting. With easy access to Ruakākā Beach and equipped with adult and child kayaks and paddleboards, you're all set for adventure. Walk down to the jetty, grab a kayak, and paddle out through the river mouth for some peaceful snapper fishing—no need to wait at the boat ramp! The well-equipped kitchen, complete with a coffee machine, dishwasher, and all the essentials, allows you to prepare delicious meals with ease. Enjoy indoor dining, or take your meals outside to soak up the summer vibes in the sun-drenched garden with a picturesque backdrop. Relax in the living space with a Smart TV equipped with Netflix and all the apps, plus fibre, books, and board games to keep everyone entertained. The heat pump and fireplace ensure a comfortable atmosphere in any season. After a day of adventure, enjoy a restful night’s sleep in one of the three queen bedrooms. The bathroom features a bath for added convenience, while the dog kennel outside ensures your furry friend has a comfortable stay too. River Ridge Retreat is perfectly positioned for coastal bliss, with Marsden Cove Marina just a short drive away, providing safe boat launching with easy access to the harbour or ocean for fishing. The nearby Ruakākā Town Centre offers a supermarket and a variety of stores. Plus, with a private track leading directly to the river, there’s no need to load the kids and gear into the car to go to the beach – you can simply walk down for a swim. Experience the ultimate seaside escape at River Ridge Retreat!
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
As there is a section of the bank that has unfenced access to the river, guests should closely supervise young children when outside to ensure they are safe around water.
There are life-jackets available to use with the paddleboards but we do recommend that guests bring their own well-fitting life-jackets to ensure safety.
