    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!

    After 3 months of spending every weekend doing renovations on the house my partner and I really needed a weekend away. I chose Wairimu View Lodge for its views, big bath and proximity to waipu and langs beaches and it didn't disappoint. The room itself was stylish and spacious and the bed was amazing, so big and soft. I spent all afternoon in the bath and after enjoying dinner out at Cafe Cove we felt very spoilt to return to such lovely accommodation. Would definitely return and recommend.

    What's not to like, the location is great with a general store / takeaway at the end of the drive and a café just about 100 metres down the road. The 1 bedroom (cosy) unit we stayed in had a nice little outdoor patio / garden to sit in although we were next to the road which, being holiday season, was rather busy. The units were nice and clean too. Right on the lifeguard patrolled beach and just a few minutes from Waipu

    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.

    The location was great. Easy walking distance to Waipu Beach for a walk followed by a beer in the pub also within walking distance. We ate at the same pub and it was absolutely fantastic. Great atmosphere and fantastic staff. The entire area is worth a visit once or twice a year at least.

    Everything, staff, amenities, location and Waipu itself. My partner, Graeme I have camped here and love it so this was an obvious stop off between Auckland and the far north. We will be back to camp over the New Years Eve weekend if a vacancy crops up (site 233 please🤣🙏)

    Absolutely adored the eclectic decor. The mid century furniture pieces, the art prints and knick knacks. The garden was stunning and provided a green canopy of calm and privacy. It was super close to Waipu and a great base for our surf comps.

    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.
