Beautiful little escape

Beautifully situated in the regenerating Kauri forest where Kaka birds make your evening meals on the deck a memorable. A quintessential kiwi batch experience where there is beauty and peace found in simplicity.

Great Family Bach Feel

We loved the location of this wee bach. Nestled into a small forest and very private, yet so close to the beach and walk way. Had a great family bach type feel with great views.

Cute Bach with Seaviews

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute bach near Matheson Bay. It was comfortable and well-equipped and had a very homey feel. Loved the sea views from the deck and the birdsong in the bush.

We had a lovely stay here! The surrounding nature is beautiful and you can see the ocean through the trees from the balcony. One of the bedrooms is really for kids but we spent most of the time outside anyway.

Another wonderful stay

One of us stayed here in December 2019 with family visiting from England and we all totally adored the bach and gorgeous surrounds This time some of same family returned and this time was just as,if not even more, wonderful. Bach is immaculate, cosy and comfy. Bush and birds surrounds are spectacular plus beautiful bush walk to best swimming beach Thank you so much for sharing this magic place Hope to be back Carin

The house needed a good air out as it was dusty, other than that the house and location is lovely.

We spent the weekend in Leigh for a wedding. Waking up to mother nature with a view of the ocean was a perfect way to start off our day. The house was easy to find. A good distant between Leigh and Matakana. Having board games and books to read was a bonus.

Hidden gem

What a wonderful place. Tucked into the hills just outside Leigh is this superb, traditional Bach. Full of lovely touches, the pictures definitely do not do it justice. The owner Bryce was very easy to deal with and we felt like we were staying in someone's house, not just a holiday rental. The log burner was the icing on the cake on a cold and stormy winter weekend.
