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.

We stayed at the Waipu Cove Resort at the end of of holidays, we had been camping and after we packed up from Mahinepua we thought we would stay the night before heading home the nest day. The service was brilliant, and the unit was great, very clean and tidy and the shower was great, spacious and everything we needed... More

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

Great little spot, steps from the beach. No heat, and limited daily cleaning that was a bit disappointing as was the thin walls. Interior by Ikea rather stylish but also a tad limited. Could be improved with some small steps such as a hook in the bathroom or a mirror outside the bathroom. The towels are replaced and the beds... More

This is a quiet little resort complex in a tiny settlement on the northland coast, about halfway between Auckland and the Bay of Islands. I love that it only took us just over an hour to get there from the North Shore yet we were so far away from it all. The rooms are in excellent condition and have all... More

We stayed here for 1 night and thought the place was brilliant! Our only suggestion was maybe a TV in the bedroom and a larger couch or a couch bed? Will certainly be back.

The term 'resort' is probably a little inflated for this neat and modern motel located in the ever-so-family friendly Waipu Cove. I suspect that this was once a rather nondescript little motel that has had a canny makeover: the rooms are not large but the fittings are modern and stylish, and the decor creates a feeling of spaciousness that probably...
