Laura Arnold
We had a wonderful stay in Rata Ridge, despite the persistent rain. This is a very spacious house equipped with a wood fire, toy basket, board games, tv. It was clean, beds were comfy, kitchen well equipped. Great for our family. Thanks so much
Response from Owner
I am sorry the the weather wasn't at all favourable for your stay Laura, such bad luck!! However it seems like you made the most of your stay & entertaining the children with different games & toys helps to fill the wet days. Watching the views with the cosy fire going is fabulous for winter holidays.

Thanks for choosing to stay at Rata Ridge holiday house again this summer Graeme. Its very peaceful by the Rata reserve but also handy to the beach & cafe attractions as well.

wow, wow, wow. On our 14th annual visit to the bay and a change of houses we couldn't have been more awe struck by this lovely property. The location, the views and all the house had to offer simply outstanding. Defo coming back!
