About this property

Riverfront Cottage Waipu

  • Comfortable, private cottage situated right on the Waipu River on Cove Road. The river is great for great for swimming and Waipu Cove is 5km further down the road. Lovely north-facing verandah is very sunny and warm. The house sleeps five - one bedroom with a queen-sized bed, one bedroom with 2 x single beds, and a divan bed in the upstairs lounge; and has one bathroom.

    Please note this is not a serviced property - it is a typical kiwi bach arrangement whereby tenants are required to take their own linen etc and leave the house clean and tidy.

Short stay for a wedding

We enjoyed our short stay at the Bach to attend a wedding- it was easy to find, and convenient, with just a short drive to town. A lovely place with plenty of character and backed on to the river- a nice place in a nice area for a break!

A piece of the past

A great find in this location and budget. Whilst dated it hold the charm of grandmas Bach. A little cold in September, I wished I’d brought a hot water bottle and a blanket. We’d definitely stay again.

Great little bach

This was a perfect little bach for us (my parents, two teens and me). Loved that we could walk straight down to the river for a swim. Close to town but away from crowds. The house could do with a bit of maintenance, but it is what it says it is - a family bach, and that is also reflected in the price. Very friendly and responsive owner. Recommend. Thanks for the stay!
