This was our second time staying at the resort and we had a great time. The facilities are great, especially the heated pool and spa. The kitchen is well equipped; apartments are spacious and comfortable. Staff are friendly and accommodating.

Lady on the front desk was rude. Complained about having to come to desk to answer questions. Room was dirty, edges around walls looked like it'd been a year since cleaned. The private deck out back wasn't private...at all. Fence palings removed, nails sticking out. Could see right through to adjoining decks and rooms. Bed on rollers..as you get in bed moves...a lot. There for 2 nights, they didn't even restock the milk for coffees even tho they restocked the coffee!! Said they didn't restock milk????? I've stayed in many motels and hotels up and down NZ through my job and milk is stocked and restocked minimum!! To top it off..the rude manager lady entered our room unannounced using a key. Why she was entering was beyond me. I'm glad I wasn't naked. She claimed mistake but a mistake isn't made when you have the exact key for the room. (Key lock, not digital card key) For the money it was tiny, dirty and didn't feel private. Won't stay again. The pool was nice.…

The Resort is in an excellent location being a 5 minute walk to the beautiful beach, also very close to the Dairy and The Cove Restaurant. Our unit was very clean, comfortable and had its own private deck at the back with table and chairs, to enjoy a quiet drink or meal. Dianna made us very welcome and made sure all was ok while we were there. We enjoyed using the heated swimming pool and there was a spa and BBQ by the pool. The Resort is only a couple of hours drive from Auckland, so we will definitely be returning again.

One bedroom apartment was perfect for a few nights away. Lovely and clean, location is great, short walk to the beach, dairy and restaurant/bar. We made good use of the hot tub every night too. The host made us feel welcome, had the heater on in the room for us and provided good suggestions for things to do and see. She even lent us a backpack for a day walk. Will definitely stay again.

Stayed to be close to a family wedding and to have a week at the beach. We had a warm welcome - unit was clean and comfortable, daily servicing unobtrusive. Loved our morning beach walks with nearby cafe/restaurant and a convenience shop next door.

This was the third time we have stayed here. The location is fantastic being so near the beach, a dairy and an excellent restaurant. We had a unit with a good sized patio and a BBQ nearby. All very comfortable and really felt like getting way from the city.

What a great little complex! Our 3bed appartment had everything that we needed and was very clean, not easy when you consider the amount of sand that must get carted through it! The rooms were a good size, the beds were comfy and the little deck was a nice place to sit and have a drink at the end of a hot beach day! The pool is an added bonus and a nice temperature and was used daily...…. The resort has a great feel and is nice and secure - Dianna keeps her finger on the button and things under control! So Waipu Cove Resort, many thanks for having us ....we loved it and will hopefully be back !!

I booked accommodation for a three day break with my adult son and daughter and my grandchildren. On the plus side it is close to the beach and a great little restaurant, and the pool was clean and heated. However, when we arrived there was a muck up with the rooms I had booked (for $1550) and so the room configuration was not ideal and not what I paid for. I was given a $50 refund but that did not compensate at all. We also had to move rooms on third night which was annoying. The units were clean, but tired and dated, and quite expensive for what they are. The manager is intrusive and overbearing and not at all welcoming. On one occasion she entered our unit unannounced and made inappropriate comments which was weird and embarrassing. Had we not made light of her behaviour it would have spoilt our break. I dont think I’ll be back anytime soon. …

Thank you for your review and sorry you felt the way you did. Just to let you know as I tried at the time there was no muck up with the rooms, it would have suited us better without having to shuffle reservations around. Also with an extra clean. When your Son arrived he asked if there was a larger unit for you all which he was shown and he made the decision also stating it would work better and changing units for the last night was not an issue. It also worked in your favour with pricing which was refunded. We entered the room for servicing and knocked numerous times but the door was open so wandered in calling out on entry. It was not nice to overhear criticism re mentioning there was no bombing, jumping and diving into the pool as stated on the rules and regulations and just advised the reasons why the rules are in place. It appeared all had a great time and was our pleasure having you all. Kind Regards.
