    We had such an amazing time away at this little hidden gem of a property! It was just what we needed, peaceful and homely with the most fantastic view. We brought our two dogs along too. It had an awesome fully fenced yard for them to run around in, and they loved lounging on the deck almost as much as we did! Can’t recommend this place enough

    What a lovely little bach! All the amenities we needed. It’s pet friendly, so my dog and I had a thoroughly enjoyable week at McLeod Bay - both enjoying our walks and getting more familiar with the area. Robyn our host was so helpful and quick to get back to me. Would definitely go back.

    Perfect location, gorgeous little bach that's got everything you need, so relaxing looking out at the sea, close to the amazing walks, really comfy place, lovely and warm (here in winter), we absolutely LOVED our short stay here. The McLeod Bay fish & chips were also superb.

    We spent our last two nights here of our eight night road trip of Northland. It was so idyllic that we spent the second (and last) day staying local to McLeod Bay rather than going back to Whangārei township. This is a true bach with lots of little extras. Very peaceful and comfortable. Eateries close by. Stunning scenery. Would be a great place for families to holiday (we are an older couple).

    My wife and I started our honeymoon at this cosy cottage and it hit all the marks for us. Beautiful view right out the front door, lovely living space, wonderful area, and very clean. We will be recommending the cottage to everyone we know!

    We stayed here for a week and it was perfect!! It had everything we needed and was exceptionally clean and tidy. The location was great being just across the road from the beach, a 5 minute drive to launch our boat and plenty of walks close by to enjoy. The host was lovely to deal with and always got back to us promptly. We loved our stay here and hopefully will be able to return in the future!!

    We had a lovely and restful stay in this wonderful cottage just across from the water. Everything was very well set up and communication was excellent. Slept very soundly due to quiet location and comfortable bed. Didnt use the sleepout but it looked nice. Appreciated that we could take our dog and that the property was fully fenced.
