This was the first time I was traveling with my 4 month old baby while my partner was somewhere else. At first I was nervous, it being just my baby and I, but that went away very fast. I felt very safe here. The woman at the front desk was incredibly kind, even offering a cott for my baby to sleep in. The rooms were immaculate, honestly so much nicer than I had expected. The shop is right next door and there's a great restaurant across the street. Even better yet, there's just a short walk down a private path right to the beach! Amazed at the prices. Would definitely recommend you stay here and I can't wait to go back.

We loved our stay here. It was private, it had all the amenities needed. The little outside deck was perfect for tanning. The bathroom was very spacious. The staff went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable also, i had asked for some cakes upon arrival as we were celebrating my partners bday and they had it set out as we entered the room...it was beautiful THANK YOU! The pool was refreshing and the late night spa pool was much needed. Thank you Waipu Cove for your great hospitality.

There was nothing i didn't like here

Loved that the beach was walking distance. The pool was heated . Spa pool was real relaxing, staff were very helpful with what ever i needed. Good dinning area outside to get together for a bbq. Rooms were very nice and tidy.

There was nothing i didnt like everything was worth the money i spent. Maybe just the nearest shops are 7kms away part from that everything was perfect.

The accommodation is right near the beach, close to a convenience store and a lovely restaurant across the road. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely seating area outside. Always a lovely place to stay!

A second-floor room looked straight through a bathroom window and into my room.

Units were comfortable and well set up. Very clean and tidy. Resort is super handy to the beach and the general store and Cafe. Walking distance to all. Short distance to travel to Waipu Township where there are a good selection of eateries. Hosts were very friendly.

Very clean and attractive looking. I stayed in a studio unit for one night. Had a nice small outdoor patio with table and two chairs.

If I were to be really picky, studio is too small to have a chair and table to eat off so you need to rely on good weather to use the small patio table

Spacious units, very close to the beach and local shops. Very clean and good facilities and information from lovely Rachel.

Parking was a a bit tight. Air conditioning would have been nice as the bedroom was a bit hot, but there was good air flow in the living area.

Location was amazing and the pool and spa were a real highlight. The unit was comfortable and private and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Wish it had been longer.

We did find a dead cockroach in one of the kitchen drawers which was a bit disappointing, but other than that, the unit was clean and was well stocked with kitchen utensils etc.
