Monthly Rentals in Te Kōpuru

Very nice accommodation. Tastefully appointed and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided. Location is very quiet in rural setting. Thanks to the absence if city lights, the stargazing from the front porch was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

The host was amazing, lighting the fire on the first night so our team walked into a warm home, comfortable beds, good kitchen, really nice and quiet, overall awesome accommodation.

Beautifully appointed little cottage with lots of open space around it and an expansive deck out the front overlooking a large pond, farmland and mountains in the distance. I woke up to knocking at a manageable 8am, which was confusing until I realised it was coming from the bedroom window. Opened the curtains and there was a heron pecking a stool underneath it. That was a first, but not unwelcome. Close to Dargville and the north head of the Kaipara for folks in the area for business or adventure. Interesting finds to be had in the dunes, apparently!

Rays place was perfect. Great size and cosy with everything you need to settle right at home. While Ruawai may not be the most dynamic place, it’s peaceful, close to the Kauri museum (purpose of our trip for research), good if you want to fish (though I don’t) and not far if you want to visit Dargaville area, or just take time out or break your journey up. Pop down the road and see the whacky veg characters on the building at the kūmara place - sooo Kiwi! The local volunteer firefighter siren may go off (doesn’t sound for long) but take a moment to appreciate that it means some dedicated local vollies are dropping everything to respond to an emergency and keep this community safe - that’s special and quintessentially rural NZ! Would absolutely stay again if in the area. Thank you Ray and Rebecca, you are great hosts! Oh and visits by Whiskey the cat were most welcome too.
