Rua Resort

We booked this place at the absolute last moment, and they were so accommodating and kind. We had the honeymoon suite which is enormous with two verandas overlooking gorgeous vistas. The room is big and comfortable and well appointed, with a huge bathroom. We could not have asked for more!

I booked in their offical website and I have notified the owner few weeks before I have to cancel my booking due to personal issue. The confirmation email was received from them and accordingly to the cancellation policy I should have get 90% of my refund, but I have not receive after a month, and there is no reply from them no matter I ask repeatedly via email, whatsapp and so......very disappointing, please be careful when you make the booking

Colleen was outwardly very pleasant when my husband went to check in. After I introduced myself, she asked both of us where we were from and we told her that we were from the US and as part of the conversation asked us how long we have lived there. My husband replied 45 years to which her answer was “you don’t have an American accent”. Are all her customers subject to such remarks or is it just us? Her website indicates laundry as available but we could not use it as we had no idea where it was and Colleen was nowhere to be found. When we enquired the next morning, with another gentleman who I think was the chef, he said he had to ask Colleeen as it was not available for guests to use. If you have big luggages there are a lot of stairs you have to carry them through. Something to keep in mind. Shared bathroom and toilets were awkward. Breakfast was decent.

Staying at Rua Lodge made the perfect start to our weekend, we were extremely lucky to been given the Rua room aka honeymoon suite, absolutely delighted with the room and the size of bathroom was amazing. Rural views were so relaxing to look out at. Breakfast was a lovely experience and you felt part of the family setting. Our hosts Colleen and Clive and their family make you feel very welcome. We will definitely be back to book that room again.

This is a great place to stay. The hosts were friendly, helpful and made all of their guests quite comfortable beyond what I would have hoped for! Coleen even helped plan my next spots as well as bailing me out w a conversion plug that I couldn’t find on a Saturday/Sunday arrival Their decor is beautifully coordinated and the surroundings are peaceful and with nice views. The breakfast they provided was home cooked for each and as extensive as I’ve ever experienced w teas, coffees, multiple cereals, fresh fruit eggs,local bacon and other extras that impressed! Wow

This place is wonderful! It is a beautiful building with scenic vistas from every angle. The rooms are well appointed and clean. Although it is a shared bathroom, the room is spacious with two showers and a bathtub. The best part is the hospitality of our hosts who made us feel truly welcome. Colleen and Clive were gracious and charming. Their son, Coles, made perfectly cooked pancakes and bacon for us, and there was cereal, bread, fruit, and yogurt in addition. They were all fun and hospitable. There are alcapas, sheep, and horses on the property. This is a wonderful place to stay- don't miss it!
