Waipu Cove Resort

Wow, the people who have taken ownership of this place have thought of everything. Not only is the place clean and tidy but the kitchen is well stocked with pans and utensils, 2 fridges, table and chairs outside, nice comfy sofa, etc.|We had the three-bedroom apartment, was made even better as one of the rooms is a separate unit so had its own bathroom. (The TV didn't work in this room, however, we reported it so hopefully it's ok for the next guests. It didn't matter as a TV is in the main lounge of the apartment). Had sky TV.|Bed was comfortable.|Towels nice.|Had a washing machine and dryer in the apartment. Had an air dryer/maiden to use outside. Had iron and small ironing board.|We didn't use the pool but the area looked nice.|BBQ was available for the apartment in the back garden area or there was another by the pool.|Nice little area for a holiday. |This was a stop off to break up our journey from Paihia to Auckland and was a welcome stop. Nice restaurant/bar five minutes walk, however, is quite expensive.|Dairy next door to the property for milk and bread. There is a small village prior to entering Waipu Cove so stock up from Four Square there before you come, or you can nip 10 mins down the road to get more stock.|Would recommend and would return.

We stayed for my birthday weekend , The place was beautiful and close to the beach. We checked out of our room around 9 and were enjoying the pool. A little time past ten the host told us that check out was at 10 and she would give us half an hour then needed to leave. We were the only ones using the pool and felt that the policy was unnecessarily strict. We also weren't supplied with parking which was included in the price. The location is beautiful but we felt the host was rude and inconsiderate. We were having the best stay up until this but didn't find the reception very polite.

So easy to book my one night stay. Great communication. Super friendly staff. Studio was clean and comfy and had everything I needed. It'll be on the top of my list of where to stay again when I'm back in Waipu!

Stayed only one night in a cabin during our bikepacking trip southbound from Cape Reinga and had a great night's sleep. The camp facilities are clean and modern. We didn't have enough time to explore the local attractions like the coastal walkway but the Cove Café across the road was certainly a highlight. Would stay at least 2 days another time.

Absolutely fabulous location, just a very short walk to the beach and the Cove Cafe. Great welcoming service from the young lady at reception when we checked in on the Sunday afternoon. It was an totally unexpected gem and a great start to our trip around the far north.

An incredible place to stay for a week. Literally 2 minutes walk from the beach, big spacious rooms with nice cafes/takeaways close by... the fishing was exceptional as well!

Stayed for 2 nights with wife and 8 year old son. The staff was super kind and welcoming. Our suite had amazing wraparound views of the bay. Parking spot was free and right next to our suite. WiFi was a bit spotty. Comfy bed. Walk to the beach was 10 min. Wonderful cafe in 2-3 min walk. The town was beautiful as well. Short drive north to the hot water beach was fun. I really liked this place. We made sure to clean up and do our dishes as note said extra fee if you left dirty dishes. Would highly recommend.

Had a wonderful 9 days at the resort. The service was fantastic, really friendly and very helpful and the room really comfortable. It is in a great location with the Bream Bay at your doorstep. I have been coming here for 5 year and this year was the best. Fab and Rachel make you feel really welcome and feel really relaxed. The Cove restaurant across the road served up some great meals as well. Will be back next year.
