Classic charm at Denee family bach

Relax and enjoy our traditional family bach. Located in the middle of Leigh but tucked away in a secluded spot, away from the road and surrounded by bush on two sides. The bach has open-plan kitchen and lounge with sliding doors opening to the deck and views of the bush-clad valley and the sea. Within walking distance of Sawmill Cafe, local shops, Mathesons Bay and Leigh Harbour. A short car trip to the many local attractions including Goat Island Marine Reserve, Pakiri surf beach, Omaha, Tawharanui Regional Park, the Matakana Markets, winetasting at the many local vineyards, and many others.

This loved family bach is ideal for families or couples and unfortunately can not be let for the intention of parties as we do respect our neighbours and would not tolerate excessive noise or behaviour.
Special conditions:
Smoking outside only.

Listed price is for 6 people only (not including children under 12 months).

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$40.00 per stay); Optional Linen @ $15 per person, minimum $60. NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/pillow case/tea towels); Bring own food and toilet paper. Cleaning products are provided.

Perfect spot
We really enjoyed our very quick visit to Leigh. The batch was clean, tidy and very comfortable, which suited our needs to attend a friend’s wedding close by. Great communication with Doris (owner) from the very start of when we booked and also before our arrival. Definitely recommend staying here if Leigh is in your plans.
