A gorgeous Bach in a beautiful setting. Very high spec and clean. Gill was lovely to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble. Our kids and dog loved the huge lawn and maze. We loved it

My daughter loved the pool with her friend- and the massive bean bags! We loved the giant garden, beautiful property with all mod cons. Stunning - plan to be back next year! Our dog lived his best life as well…

Amazing oasis

We loved our stay at this property. The garden, spa and fire pit were our highlights but everything else was amazing too. Beautiful bathrooms, comfy beds, a fully stocked kitchen with all the latest gadgets. Snacks on arrival. A perfect stay thank you.

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.

Great stay

Such a nice spot for a little getaway. Surrounded by trees, shrubs & birds singing. Really clean & thoughtfully decorated/designer. Stocked with all the essentials plus more. Had a couple of chats with the grounds keeper & he was really welcoming & helpful. Thank you Gill.

Fabulous, relaxing stay with a stunning view and gardens

This guest house is a rare find - immaculate accommodation with an amazing view. Everything has been thought of: Gill makes sure you want for nothing during your stay. The gardens were so well cared for too - the live-in groundskeeper is doing a stellar job! Comfortable, huge beds and air con in every room was a bonus in the heat of summer. Cleanliness was second-to-none. Great location too - only a few minutes from both Waipu Cove and Langs, but quiet and serene after a busy day's adventuring. Thank you - we will be back!

Langs Beach part 2 - Kylee's 1st Birthday

This is our second stay at Langs Beach. This time we had our baby - Kylee - who turned 1 the day of check in. We celebrated with an intimate Moana themed dinner which she loved so much!! Since our last visit in April 2023, the outdoor/entertainment area has been renovated making it an even more beautiful and cosy space for a large family on holiday during the colder months. The gardens boasting new art. We brought all 4 of our dogs along and they all had an absolute blast exploring and lounging with us all. Again both houses had everything you could need, so clean and comfortable. Great to see caretaker Pye again who is always so welcoming and does an amazing job looking after this haven. We will 100% be coming back!! Ruru Way - our perfect Annual Holiday Destination :)
