Ruru Studio

A delightfully quirky, cosy place to stay in the sunny Whangaparaoa peninsula, just 30 minutes from Auckland city. Situated high on a ridge looking northward out across Stanmore Bay, you will enjoy the peaceful, semi-rural setting, with a peek of the sea through the trees. Ruru Studio is a studio apartment with its own entrance, occupying the ground floor of a standalone house offering your own private space. Suitable for individuals or couples. Inside, the room is divided into a kitchenette and dining area, and a living and sleeping area. The private bathroom with toilet and shower is located just outside, a few steps from the entrance. Wi-fi internet is provided via a high speed fibre broadband connection. There's a Smart TV with access to Netflix included along with broadcast Freeview HD channels. You can stream your own music or videos through the TV and Bluetooth soundbar. A heatpump/air conditioner keeps the space toasty warm in winter and cool in summer. The kitchenette is equipped with a fridge, dishwasher, microwave, benchtop multi-oven/air fryer, toaster, kettle, coffee machine, electric frying pan, and a rice cooker. A gas BBQ is available outside on the patio. Tea, coffee, milk, basic cooking supplies, plates, cutlery, etc are provided. Ruru Studio is fully self-contained. Guests have exclusive use of the ground floor of the building. On the upper floor there is a separate unit where other guests may be staying. (Check our other listing for "Kereru Cottage".)
