Funky Bach with all the Frills

It's immediately clear this much-loved bach is the heart of family life, a place where extended family and friends naturally gather. When the holidays roll around, there's no question where everyone is heading… back to the bach at Waipu Cove.

Pushing open the gate, Pohutukawa trees line the boundary, with Tui chattering overhead. The set-up is perfectly designed for relaxed, multigenerational living: a modern three-bedroom cabin for extended family, a caravan with awning for the kids, and a spacious lawn for tents, boats and summer fun. A single garage, complete with a toilet and shower, service the additional guests.

The main two-bedroom bach is warm, modern and inviting, offering open-plan living that flows effortlessly to a standout outdoor entertaining area. Here, the sound of the ocean sets the scene for long evenings on the deck.

This is where everyone comes together; built-in seating for a crowd, an open fire, pizza oven, and a partially covered deck made for all seasons. There's a sheltered area with pull-down sides, so you can close it in when the wind or rain rolls through, plus outdoor heating to keep things cosy. It's the kind of space where stories get shared, guitars (and spoons) come out, and laughter carries on well into the night.

The location completes the picture. A short stroll takes you to Waipu Cove beach, voted again in 2026 New Zealand's favourite camping beach and family beach. Grab your morning coffee from Cove Cafe, walk the coastal track to Langs Beach or cycle into Waipu village just 9km away.

Life is meant to be enjoyed and shared with those you love most… and this is the perfect place to do it.
