We had a lovely stay at Gill’s place. The house was clean and extremely well equipped—perfect for a relaxing holiday. Waipu Cove beach and the café were just a one-minute drive away, which was very convenient. The garden was absolutely gorgeous; you could easily lose track of time just enjoying it. I highly recommend Gill’s place.

Gill provides a home away from home. She has provided so many thoughtful touches that really made our stay super comfortable. From a coffee machine to a small pantry of staples, she has thought of everything!The gardens are breathtaking. We made special memories toasting marshmallows at the fire pit and when the sun made an appearance we made the most of the pool. The house is positioned among nature but within a short drive of the beach. I hope we will visit again. Thanks so much Gilk.

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.

Charming holiday home

We are a couple with a little wire-haired dachshund and loved our stay. The property is secure and private with a delightful garden. The attractive accommodation had everything we could have wished for. A family crisis cut our stay short, but we will definitely be returning.
