A gorgeous Bach in a beautiful setting. Very high spec and clean. Gill was lovely to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble. Our kids and dog loved the huge lawn and maze. We loved it

My daughter loved the pool with her friend- and the massive bean bags! We loved the giant garden, beautiful property with all mod cons. Stunning - plan to be back next year! Our dog lived his best life as well…

Amazing oasis

We loved our stay at this property. The garden, spa and fire pit were our highlights but everything else was amazing too. Beautiful bathrooms, comfy beds, a fully stocked kitchen with all the latest gadgets. Snacks on arrival. A perfect stay thank you.

Langs Beach part 2 - Kylee's 1st Birthday

This is our second stay at Langs Beach. This time we had our baby - Kylee - who turned 1 the day of check in. We celebrated with an intimate Moana themed dinner which she loved so much!! Since our last visit in April 2023, the outdoor/entertainment area has been renovated making it an even more beautiful and cosy space for a large family on holiday during the colder months. The gardens boasting new art. We brought all 4 of our dogs along and they all had an absolute blast exploring and lounging with us all. Again both houses had everything you could need, so clean and comfortable. Great to see caretaker Pye again who is always so welcoming and does an amazing job looking after this haven. We will 100% be coming back!! Ruru Way - our perfect Annual Holiday Destination :)

Fabulous, relaxing stay with a stunning view and gardens

This guest house is a rare find - immaculate accommodation with an amazing view. Everything has been thought of: Gill makes sure you want for nothing during your stay. The gardens were so well cared for too - the live-in groundskeeper is doing a stellar job! Comfortable, huge beds and air con in every room was a bonus in the heat of summer. Cleanliness was second-to-none. Great location too - only a few minutes from both Waipu Cove and Langs, but quiet and serene after a busy day's adventuring. Thank you - we will be back!

Lovely stay at Waipu Cove

We loved the setting of this beautiful holiday home. Use of the swimming pool was fantastic and the private spa was great for enjoying the views. Gardens, native bush and swimming hole were wonderful. We had a very relaxing stay.

Such a nice spot for a little getaway. Surrounded by trees, shrubs & birds singing. Really clean & thoughtfully decorated/designer. Stocked with all the essentials plus more. Had a couple of chats with the grounds keeper & he was really welcoming & helpful. Thank you Gill.

Loved our stay

A retreat it was - gorgeous rooms (each with cooling / heating units) with picturesque outlook and gorgeous decor. Bedrooms (private from each other, being separated by living space), with comfy huge beds and with its own large luxurious bathroom each. To top it all off - so many small accommodating details, such as fridge and kitchen treats and the outdoor area offering every seated comfort. And we really appreciate our pups being welcomed! So much outdoor space, which felt safe and private. We are now booking a return trip with parents. Thanks for looking after us, Gill.

Second time visiting. Such a beautiful property, in stunning grounds, our little Staffy loved exploring the gardens. The perfect place to unwind, relax in the spa or take a swim in the pool. We will definitely be back for visit No3 in the New Year. Thanks Gill, and Pye for looking after us. See you soon 😊

Waipu hidden Gem

Thank you very much Gill, what an absolute gem of a property. For us it was a great space too sit relax and do sweet fanny adams. We tackled the 6minute drive down the hill to ‘The Cove’ restaurant for breakfast and dinner without breaking a sweat or the speed limit. PERFECT
