Summary: We absolutely loved our stay in this great house. It is spacious, comfortable, and very well set out and equipped. It has a large, shady back yard and garden perfect for outdoor games. It's a very short walk to Matheson's Bay which is a great swimming beach and a short drive to Tauwharenui, which is a stunning beach and regional park. We cannot wait to book again.

Summary: Well set out property with a great big lawn. The house is a bit tired and could do with new carpet and furnishings. It has that old school bach vibe so ideal for the summer (we went in the autumn when it was a bit wet and cold outside)

Summary: This was our fourth stay at what has become my family’s favourite holiday spot: a lovely house in a safe, grassy, bushy setting with native birds, monarch butterflies and a terrific night-sky. The house is very welcoming with a great kitchen, sunny window seats, inside/outside/breakfast bar dining options and a spacious, comfortable lounge. It works beautifully for our mixed group: children under 8, parents and granny (who likes to retreat now and then); and some daily pop-ins from friends in the district. We don’t usually use the television but it was handy during the couple of not so sunny days we had, thanks for the Netflix for the kids! The new swing seat on the deck was much enjoyed. Note to future guests: don’t do as we did this year and fail to hook the umbrella to the house - this resulted in a tear in the fabric when a rogue gust arrived, very embarrassed about that. The beach was very different this year after the storms but still offered plenty of good swimming and spots for digging moats around sandcastles. The walk to the fossil beach is another drawcard, and the waterfalls on the reserve bush walk was extra good after the rain. As ever, a top spot for a family holiday, thank you Williams family for sharing.

Summary: We had the most wonderful week in this very comfortable and well appointed bach. The flow from the kitchen area out to the deck and back lawn is exceptional, including a fantastic outdoor fire that was the centre of our evening gatherings. We are a family who spend a lot of time preparing and sharing good food and the generous sized kitchen had everything we needed to do this. And it is so great to be in a bach that has plenty of plates/bowls/cutlery for a large group. A short stroll to the beach meant for compulsory morning and evening swims and the lawn space is brilliant for outdoor games and late afternoon drinks soaking up the last of sun. This is a truly special place and will we be back again! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Summary: We had a very special time at this lovely family bach close to Leigh. Beautiful home with great setup - spacious warm living areas with 2 bedrooms on each side. Generous and well equipped kitchen/dining opens to spacious deck with fireplace and grounds where we enjoyed cricket with the grandchildren Plenty of indoor games, lovely rocky and sandy beaches and there is a beautiful walk up past the Kohuroa Stream waterfalls. In summer the waterhole part way up would be great fun.
