Very clean and well managed. Not cheap. But a very high standard of cleanliness and maintenance is obvious. A much higher standard than that which I have experienced at other properties of the same type in NZ. Two ring stove top, microwave, fridge and toaster. All plates, glasses, mugs, cooking items provided. Pool and barbecues on site. Walking distance to a beautiful beach and a restaurant / pub. 15 to 20 mins drive to supermarket, cafes, etc. Recomended. Especially for couples, (young or old).

Hi Merle.Thank you for your review and apologise your stay did not go well. It is very hard to please all the people all the time, but we do try our best.The boys did appear to be enjoying the heated swimming pool and Spa pool.We are pleased we had upgraded your stay to a 2 Bedroom Apartment without being asked but had thought you would enjoy the larger apartment than booked at no extra charge, even for a 1-night stay.Our apologies the onsite manager was not quite up to speed, relieving due to an incident. However, the information sheet in the Apartment is clearly written re the Pool times, rules and regulations as well as on both Pool fences.Adult age is 18years for guests so13 years old and younger is not considered an adult.Waipu Cove Resort has a lot to offer with Beach Access for swimming, fishing, walking, surfing, relaxing.Heated Swimming Pool until 6pm, 8pm Summer and Hot Spa pool offering Adult only time in the evening from 7pm. Children enjoy it all day long.Within walking distance The Cove Cafe Bar Restaurant, General Store, Campground with Camping and Cabins, Tennis Court, Jumping Pillow and Childrens Playgrounds. Waipu Cove offering a small slice of a Pacific Paradise.

Set up with everything you may need for a break away. Super clean and tidy. So close to Cove cafe and gorgeous surf beach.

A very pleasant stay in a well-appointed double roomed unit. Very comfortable, with a pleasant exterior patio. Service from the resort manager top-rate. A fantastic place right next to the beach.

Great location, with only a short walk to the beach. We had a room that went straight out to the pool that was convenient for the kids. It was quiet here which was nice.
The only down side was limited parking, we did have a parking space for our room but someone else parked there, although the staff did arrange for the car to be moved. There was not a lot of space to turn around a large vehicle.

We stayed in a two bedroom unit with two grandchildren aged 11 and 9.
Excellent pool and spa pool. Well equipped kitchen with good sized fridge.
Floor tiles throughout, were very slippery for children if they got wet (the tiles and the children!) Management gave us some old towels to put down on the floor...much appreciated.
Very close to beach and Waipu Cove to Langs Beach Coastal walk.
Would stay again.

Posted 7 Apr 2024 on HotelsVery clean, only problem was a faulty TV but the managers replaced it immediately. Unit would be better with a small coffee table. Heated pool & spa pool great.
