We loved the location...an easy walk over to the beach. The apartment had a well stocked kitchen...and the hot spa tub was a hit with my son. The property and the units had great beach-themed art. We were only there one night but could easily have stayed longer.

Lovely place but not a resort

Waipu Cove is a wonderful area with a great restaurant. The apt is clean, probably new updated, but we did not feel very welcomed. Lots of written guidelines but probably this is necessary with guests on tight ground
