Our new Glamping Yurts are here - and you’ve been waiting very patiently to see inside!

Handcrafted locally and beautifully appointed, these 36sqm yurts bring together everything we love about camping, with a few extra comforts thrown in.

Think cosy beds, beautiful linen, your own private deck, a Weber BBQ, Nespresso coffee machine, a full-size fridge, ceiling fan, and our favourite part… a glass skylight dome for star-gazing from bed ✨🌙

Sleeping up to five, they’re made for slow mornings, long evenings outside and soaking up a little more of what Waipū Cove has to offer.

A unique way to experience Waipū Cove – camping, with a little extra luxury.

This weekend marks the start of the school holidays, and we’re officially heading into our favourite time of year - those longer days, warmer afternoons, later sunsets, and that unmistakable buzz around the camp 🏕️

We have a small amount of weekday cabin availability left throughout the school holidays, along with plenty of powered sites ready for caravans, motorhomes, tents, and last-minute escapes.

Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a beach break, or just need a few days to recharge by the ocean, now’s the perfect time to sneak away before the summer rush arrives! 🌞

To help make your stay even easier, from Monday 28th September we’re extending our office hours back to:

🕗 8:00am - 8:00pm daily
🕣 Fridays until 8:30pm

GLAMPING YURTS ARE ALMOST HERE!

You’ve been waiting to hear more about our brand-new Glamping Yurts, and we’re so excited to finally share more details - including when you can book! 🌿

From Monday 21st September at 12pm (midday), the Glamping Yurts will officially go live on our website and be available to book.

📅 First stays available from Monday 12th October 2026

So, while bookings open on 21st September, your glamping getaway can begin from 12th October onwards.

And what a special little escape we’ve created for you…

🌿 36sqm locally handcrafted yurt
🛏️ Sleeps up to 5 guests
☕ Coffee pod machine
❄️ Full fridge/freezer
💨 Ceiling fan
🔥 Weber BBQ
🌞 Outdoor seating with umbrella

Named Tūī and Kererū, these two yurts are a little nod to the native birds that flutter through and call our camp home 🐦💚

The yurts are not self-contained, with our main bathroom facilities required for use. They’re conveniently located close by in the middle amenities block.

There is a 2-night minimum stay, with a 4-night minimum during peak season (20th December 2026 - 8th February 2027). Minimum nights over public holiday weekends also.

These yurts are truly something special, and the whole team at Camp Waipu Cove couldn’t be prouder 💙

There has been a lot of mahi, care and thought poured into creating Tūī & Kererū. From the yurts themselves to all the little details that make this an elevated camping experience.

We know the photos are a little limited for now! 📸 we’ll have plenty more to share by the end of next week, but we couldn’t wait any longer to give you the full rundown and, most importantly, the booking date!

🗓️ BOOKINGS OPEN: Monday 21st September at 12pm(midday)
🌿 FIRST STAYS: Monday 12th October 2026

We can’t wait to welcome you to Tūī & Kererū ✨

More exciting news from Camp Waipū Cove 🤳🏽

Recently we’ve been working closely with the amazing team at Spark Business Hub Northland on an exciting upgrade that will bring significantly improved mobile coverage in and around the camp before Christmas.

What does that mean for our guests? Better phone reception, easier connectivity, and an even smoother online experience while you’re here. It will also help support improvements to our WiFi service, making it easier to stay connected when you need to 👏🏼

LOOK WHAT’S TAKING SHAPE AT CAMP WAIPU COVE!

It’s hard to believe how much has happened since our new reception building arrived on site in mid-July! 🏗️💙

Our brand-new reception building is really starting to take shape, with the deck now in place and the roof being completed this week. It’s so exciting watching it all come together.

The new linkway connecting the reception building to our current office is coming along well too. Once the new reception is complete, our existing office will become some much-needed behind-the-scenes storage, giving us more room to keep everything organised.

We’ve also added a fresh new footpath alongside the driveway, creating a safer and easier walkway for guests and pedestrians moving through the entrance. 🚶‍♀️🌿

Our new barrier arms will be installed soon, following the reshaping and resealing of the driveway. The new entrance will feature three dedicated lanes - a check-in lane, an entry lane and an exit lane - designed to create a much smoother flow of traffic through the campground. This will be a fantastic improvement, especially during our busiest times of the year when we welcome hundreds of holidaymakers and the arrival queue can stretch right out of the driveway and along the road! 🚗💨

We’re so excited to see this project progressing week by week. Again, a big thank you to A-Line for all their continued hard work bringing this all together.

We’ll keep sharing the progress as we get closer to the big reveal… 👀✨
