Camp Waipu is our favourite go-to destination, the units are well catered for and just what you need. The only thing I could think to improve on is to ask people with kids to be mindful of where there children

Our little house cabin was beautiful. Clean, well equipped, great front patio to sit and have a champagne. The bathrooms were plentiful. The onsite facilities were quality. Fabulous TV room and kitchens. Right on the beach but protected by a dune. Very well maintained by lovely staff.

Great little place to stay and so close to the amazing beach!!!! We had a little unit with a bunny bed and double bed. Little microwave and a little “ island” tha theme dishes,kettle. Etc…. The brash was steps away. And behind the hotel/ park is a really really good restaurant so there was no need to walk or drive anywhere. Cute little place to stay right on the beach. Loved it.
