A lovely long weekend celebrating Mum’s 70th. We missed the first night due to the state of emergency but arrived to a warm, well-prepared home.Comfortable, family-friendly, and in a great spot near Goat Island and Matakana, with everything we needed. We’d happily stay again, such a relaxed, welcoming feel.

There was a problem.with the TV and the host came all the way out to property to fix it for us the same day. We were blown away with how quickly it was sorted. The property was lovely, the kitchen well-stocked with all the equipment you'd need and the place was clean and tidy. Great location for trips to the beach or lounging around in bad weather. Thank you.

Showers fantastic, kitchen well stocked with cooking utensil, beds comfy, fire lovely on cold night . None of the patio lights worked, nor did the power point for hairdryer in bathroom. Had issue with sleepout door, however the house keeper did resolve this promptly. Overall OK.

So much to see and do in the area

The bach was perfect for us! Cozy woodburner but spare heaters as well. Very spacious bedrooms, a lovely porch and a secure, fenced garden for our dogs. The house is located very central to all the places we visited but not too busy.

Family Getaway

We loved our stay at Leigh Family Bach! A spacious place the whole family could relax in. We loved the size of the 2 main bedrooms, great for teens! The extra room outside suited our older son and the bedroom off the kitchen suited hubby and I to a T. Great communication with Nigel. Holiday went off without a hitch!
