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.
