Offering a peaceful setting with modern comforts and plenty of room for the whole family, it’s your ideal base for swimming, exploring, and unwinding by the sea. Start your mornings with coffee or brunch at the nearby Cove Café, grab supplies from the Waipu Cove Dairy, then wander through the reserve to the patrolled beach for a swim, walk, or simply to breathe in the sea air. The generous north-facing deck is a highlight, complete with outdoor furniture and a BBQ for alfresco meals. Sunny and private, it’s perfect for soaking up the warm Northland weather with family and friends. Inside, this light-filled beach home combines a relaxed coastal vibe with modern comforts. An open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area flows out to the wrap-around deck for effortless indoor-outdoor living. A heat pump keeps things cosy in winter and cool in summer, while a Smart TV and internet provide entertainment at the end of the day. Sleeping up to seven guests, the home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Two spacious bedrooms are upstairs, while downstairs offers a queen and a single — perfect for children and extended families travelling together. Well located, you’re a quick eight-minute drive from Waipu village’s charming shops and local eateries. Cove Family Haven is the perfect place for couples and families to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories by the sea. Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
