A wooden deck with a table and chairs, surrounded by various tropical plants and a pathway.

Location: Waipu
Review: Great location, with only a short walk to the beach. We had a room that went straight out to the pool that was convenient for the kids. It was quiet here which was nice. The only down side was limited parking, we did have a parking space for our room but someone else parked there, although the staff did arrange for the car to be moved. There was not a lot of space to turn around a large vehicle., by Melanie-Jayne, 27 April 2024, rated 8/10 Good
