Bifold doors open onto a sun-drenched deck, where you can relax and enjoy the soothing sights and sounds of the surrounding countryside. Three cosy bedrooms and a neat bathroom with a shower over bath make up for a relaxing stay. When adventure calls, head to nearby Johnson Point, a hidden local gem with its serene estuary perfect for swimming and kayaking. Take a stroll through the dunes at low tide to discover a secluded white sand beach that feels like your own private escape— truly a scene straight from a postcard. You can also walk or cycle all the way to Waipu Cove beach on a new purpose-built track next to the road which can be accessed from the driveway entrance. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing family retreat or a nostalgic coastal escape, Serene Cove Escape offers the perfect blend of charm, privacy, and adventure for your next holiday. All guests are advised to be careful on the deck with a 1m drop without an adequate barrier to prevent falls.Although the property is pet-friendly, pets are not permitted on furniture and beds. Please ensure pets are secured outside if left unattended as the property is not fully-fenced.There are 2 x kids life-jackets available to use with the kayaks but we do recommend that guests bring their own well-fitting life-jackets to ensure safety. 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. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,399 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111100000/111091600/111091560/f444e96e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Harbour Escape - Paparoa Holiday Home Paparoa - Kitchen - Outdoor Space - Parking available - Microwave [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=111091560&PinnedHotelID=111091560&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/123000000/122320000/122312500/122312482/c6917cf4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Home Away From Home - Ruakaka Escape Ruakaka - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=122312482&PinnedHotelID=122312482&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37910000/37910000/37909920/69c7623a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ruakaka Sands - Ruakaka Holiday Home Ruakaka - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Outdoor Space 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=37909920&PinnedHotelID=37909920&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/76000000/75030000/75026800/75026791/758d1fc9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Sunrise Bach - One Tree Point Holiday Home One Tree Point - Kitchen - Washer - Pet friendly - Outdoor Space 8.4 Very good 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=75026791&PinnedHotelID=75026791&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116510000/116502200/116502139/61ef2031.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tui Cottage - Waipu Holiday Retreat Waipu - Kitchen - Outdoor Space - Parking available - Microwave [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=116502139&PinnedHotelID=116502139&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109380000/109373000/109372940/e5fe972b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ruakaka Retreat, heavenly views.
