Simply brilliant
A charming house on a very spacious plot of land. Plenty of room for activities and very private. A lovely spa and outdoor fire pit perfect for the cool evenings. Top that off with a spectacular beach just over the dunes less than a 10 min walk away. Also close to waipu town centre and mcleods brewery. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again if in the area.

Beautiful spot
Lots of space. Great to have second lounge area for kids to hang out and beds for four kids in one room. Loved the spa. Few minutes drive to the cove - beach, dairy, cafe and restaurant. Comfy beds.

Perfect location - well equipped property
It was a clean and well-equipped property. The jacuzzi was a delight - sitting in the warmth and viewing a breathtaking night sky (we were blessed with 2 clear nights in a place with minimal light pollution). Close to all forms of water - beaches and estuary as well as a variety of restaurants and cafes in Waipu and Waipu Cove. The bed was extremely comfortable and the fans appreciated as well as the TV with a range of viewing when the weather wasn't great. I don't want to rave too much in case it becomes unavailable but a great location for a beach holiday!
Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca

Host profile image
We are a small family (much bigger when the extended family comes to stay).
We love the beach and wanted to give our son the chance to be safe to roam and build memories.
We love staying at our home, but love to share it too.

Why they chose this property

That's such an easy question. We were married in Waipu Cove in 2007. Just down the road. So the location already meant so much to us.

When we bought the land, we had no house or landscaping, so our first years were spent planting trees and renovating the house we relocated to the land from Te Aroha.
We still haven't finished renovating, and we would love to have a new bathroom soon, but we think the house works well.

We love the area, and proximity to Auckland (Close to 1.5 hours with the new motorway - eat that Coromandel). Over the years we have really seen such a change in Waipu. Great Cafe's opening, fabulous new stores, excellent markets, and old favourites like the Pizza Barn and the antique shops. It's just getting better and better.

What makes this property unique

That's obvious.
The proximity to the water - Right there!
It's also really lovely to be on such a large private section, over three acres. So many places for the kids to run around.
