    Great place to step away from the hustle and bustle of city life and reconnect with nature a bit. Good food at the waipu cove pub, if a little pricey (the food is quite gourmet and the drink options were many)

    Waipu is a gorgeous beach settlement.

    Waipu is a gorgeous beach settlement. There are good facilities available e.g essential shops, cafes, the restaurant bar down at the cove is a great spot and the food and service was great even though they were extremely busy

    A quite Town for a night or two night stay for a short weekend. Kids friendly pizza store and the waipu cave not too far but would recommend to have gumboots and Torch when visit with young kids. Waipu fall is a eazy 10 mis return track but the parking space is limited.

    New Years day markets & night Ceilidh (Scottish dance).

    New Years day markets & night Ceilidh (Scottish dance). Busy rural town. Lots happening. Great art gallery in the old firestation. Nice cafes. Shops all open on the weekend. Close to Whangarei & Langs/Waipu Cove etc. Waipu has it's own museum - worth a look. Free parking in the town. Seems to be very dog friendly.

    Loved the choice of beaches Waipu Cove, Lang’s and Mangawhai. Waipu Cove didn’t have much choice for eateries and the pub filled to capacity so I couldn’t eat there and this wasn’t very good considering it was only 6pm!

    We loved our stay here. It was private, it had all the amenities needed. The little outside deck was perfect for tanning. The bathroom was very spacious. The staff went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable also, i had asked for some cakes upon arrival as we were celebrating my partners bday and they had it set out as we entered the room...it was beautiful THANK YOU! The pool was refreshing and the late night spa pool was much needed. Thank you Waipu Cove for your great hospitality.

    Lisa & Anthony are lovely hosts! Their Waipu Cove home is beautiful and our room & bathroom were spacious and comfortable. Lots of windows so wonderful light & views of their property. Breakfast was delightful and conversation with fellow guests was enjoyable. Love the black sheep, beautiful young cows and walking on their property. Gorgeous beaches & beach walks nearby.

    Spacious, comfortable room with a seating area and views out over the countryside to the sea. Hosts were very friendly and hospitable. Excellent continental breakfast included with homemade pastries and great coffee. Short drive to nearby Waipu Cove and a good eatery for dinner. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

    The most idyllic place for our first few days in New Zealand. Wonderful hosts Lisa and Antony, a spotlessly clean, spacious, modern room and so many homemade treats for breakfast. This is the perfect place to stay if visiting the Waipu area, we would 100% stay here again and wholeheartedly recommend it to any other travellers.

    I've stayed here many time and love the location. Waipu has one of the most perfect long beaches in Northland. Some will disagree but it a great place. The Cabins are right on the beach and perfect for evening walks or summer swims, or surf. Also highly recommend the cove cafe and restaurant right across the road.

    The location is right by the beach. The cafe opposite (Cove Cafe) is very nice for a cocktail and pizza. The walkway to the pancake rocks was literally 250m away.
