We had a fantastic time staying at Pipi Dune B&B! Vern and Joan are amazing; they made us feel so at home. If we are ever fortunate enough to return to Whitianga, we will absolutely stay here again. We would recommend Pipi Dune to our closest family and friends. Breakfasts were tasty too!

We spent three days in Whitianga in early 2012 and had a marvellous time. We had our four-month-old with us, and it was never a problem; Vern and Joan were amazingly accommodating and made sure that everything was very easy for us. We were made to feel right at home the whole time we were there. The breakfasts were great,... More

I made a mistake in booking and we arrived a day early much to Joan's surprise. Unfortunately they were fully booked but they accommodated is in a lovely room upstairs with them and we were basically welcomed as if we were family. Joan and Vern are a wonderful couple and fantastic hosts, we couldn't have felt more at home unless... More

Joan and Vern are very welcoming and kind hosts. They served a very tasty hot breakfast. We stayed two nights. The rooms are quite small with little room for luggage.

Just outside of the town center, Pipi Dune is a lovely B&B. We stayed there for a couple of days as part of our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. The owners (Joan and Vern) are wonderfully warm, friendly and welcoming. They went out of there way to ensure our stay was special. The rooms are warm, cozy and impeccably maintained... More

We stayed for a long weekend, and enjoyed our time here very much. We had a lovely welcome and were served excellent breakfasts to set us up for the day. A great set up here with a communal living and eating area for the guests to use and chat. Would definitely stay again!

Great place to stay although the rooms are on the smaller side. Wonderful host!

I found this B & B to be absolutely fantastic. The hosts are very nice and offered much advice about the local area and sightseeing. It has modern en-suite rooms and shared kitchen/TV area. The breakfast was great consisting of cooked or continental options. The rooms are fresh and spotless and I really liked the fluffy bathrobes!!!! Worth a visit.

Pipi Dune is the quintessential B&B experience in Whitianga on the Coromandal - our 2 days of luxury within a week-long camping trip. Our hosts - Joan and Verne - were friendly and helpful, greeting us on arrival. We had the entire kitchen/living area to ourselves, with plentiful supply of coffee and juice. Everything was perfectly clean and the atmosphere... More
