Magical location

This was the perfect property for our family get together. We loved having two houses to spread out in and the location on the edge of the water was stunning.

Better than the photos

We had an amazing weekend at this property. The photos really don't do the place (or the views) enough justice! Very quick drive to the shops which was great.

Whaanau time

Perfect location in waipu, not too far from the township or the beach. Great water access from property, safe for kids to swim and play with kayak and paddle board. Houses were just awesome and plenty of parking. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to book here

Outstanding sunrises over the estuary

We loved our stay. The two houses were perfect for our extended family and couple with small children. Both houses were well equipped, clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable and linens were soft. We loved having a washing machine and dryer for all the kids clothes. Our favorite thing was to have dinner all together on the porch of the upper house. So convenient to Waipu Centre, and the neighbors were very nice.

Magical Bach for 8 adults 6 Children

This property ( 2 houses) was excellent. The location on the estuary for water sports and very near to Waipu Cove for surfing was perfect. We were sorry to have to leave. The two houses were very well equipped. Thank you to Emma and Nick for great communications too.
