Friendly and helpful hosts together with great location by a beautiful beach are just the start of the positives about this resort. Our two bedroom apartment had plenty of space. Kitchen with all appliances and equipment you could need and outdoor area which we found to be private. Great pool and lots of nice thoughtful little touches really made our... More

It is an ok place until you go to bed and it is very uncomfortable, almost unacceptable for the prize you pay. Shower is good though and, yes, you don't have privacy at all as you share the patio with everybody else. Swimingpool is in the carpark and patio and rooms are right next to the road, so noisy.

We stayed in the one Bedroom apartment ,which I have just read has windows like a prison in the bedroom (!)... More

Stayed here while visiting friends in Waipu. The room was nice, but fairly non-descript and plain. The place was clean, but the bedroom felt a little bit like a prison cell with only tiny windows. There was a courtyard off our lounge area, but no privacy in the courtyard, as it is almost joined to the neighbours' courtyard. The cleaners... More

Nice rooms and well equipped kitchens. Roger the host is friendly and informative and obviously works very hard to keep the standard high. Cleaners missed a few hairs in the bathroom but this can happen anywhere and didn't affect our quality of stay.

Don't let the outside of the place dissapoint you - it is an old building and looks a bit plain. Once you are inside it is well fitted out, plenty of plates, cutlery, cups, glasses etc. and the decor and furnishings are very nice too. Also, very clean. We had booked a three bedroom for 4 adults and two children,... More

We stayed here looking for a comfortable place close to Waipu Cove Beach. We were not disappointed. The manager was cheerful and helpful.I was concerned about traffic noise but I was hardly aware of the odd car passing on the road in front of the resort. The unit was bright, attractive and clean. Although small , it opened out onto... More

Stayed here because it was so close to the beach but also had a pool. The manager was very friendly and the unit was modern, clean and tidy. A very pleasant long weekend with several places to eat, the restaurant on the property was packed on Saturday night and the service a little slow however they warned us when we... More
