The house at Ruby Bay was a great pad for our multi generation holiday. The view and deck looking over it was a real highlight. It was fabulous for the kids (1 and 5) as the house has toys and the deck is fully fenced in. There is also a cot and Sian and her team dropped off a high chair for us too 🙂 The master bedroom upstairs is just wonderful, with gorgeous views. There is a lovely, well kept back garden, perfect for exploring – and was an abundance of feijoas for us to enjoy 🙂 Kitchen is well stoked and easy to use. We enjoying lighting the fire every night – it was super efficient at warming the house. The location is minutes drive from Mapua, and in the middle of vineyards, Nelson and Kaiteriteri beaches. You definitely need a hire car (or 2) if you stay here as not to much you can walk to from the house itself. Ruby Bay beach itself is quite stony so we didn’t go swimming there. All in all, brilliant base for us. Thank you. PS – If you stay here, our favourite winery was Gravity – highly recommend it 🙂
