Relaxed Beach House
Leigh is a relaxed beach town, small and friendly. This house is just the right kind of place to stay in while visiting the town. It is more funky than fancy, with a bedroom and bath tacked on the back. It is very comfortable, with a well-stocked kitchen, plenty of blankets, lots of books and DVDs. You can walk from the house to the Leigh Bar or the General Store (note: the General Store cannot accept foreign credit cards; bring cash). It's a short drive to Goat Island or Mathesons Bay Beach if you are beaching it, and not far to Matakana (you should eat at Matakana Kitchen) or SheepWorld for a demonstration of sheep herding and sheering. We had a great time and would highly recommend this rental home.

Great place to stay in Leigh and dog friendly
We enjoyed our stay - the property was very tidy and in a good location. We especially loved the fact that the bach is dog friendly and has a fenced back garden.

Very comfortable property. While there was an issue the owner was not aware of (caused by a 3rd party) their response was immediate, helpful and every endeavour was made to resolve the issue. You cannot ask for any more and gives you peace of mind . Thank you for this and we enjoyed our stay at your place.

Kiwi batch styles
The house was well appointed with plenty of space for 7 adults and all the luggage that comes with that. The house smelt a little musty on first opening but was clean and well appointed inside, although the beds were quite hard. The outside area was great to get together for a few drinks and a BBQ as well as great sun up on the grass. Our group had a great stay and would come back again.
