    Bach was suitable for a larger family/group with a tidy outdoor area and big table, extra mattresses if needed. The 4 queen beds had lovely linen on them. We forgot it was not a air b and b, although similar and I would recommend bringing your own toiletries and some extra toilet paper. No complaints as was perfect for our pre wedding stay. Good communication with hosts and easy access

    The property was well set up for a family or extended family and central to Leigh & its local amenities. It was perfect for what we needed. I locked my self out accidentally and rang owner/management & was immediately fixed with a solution. Thank you for that. I would return to this property if I needed to stay up in this area again.

    House was clean and fully equipped for a family holiday. We left early only because of the Cyclone but will definitely come back for a longer stay as it is a great rental, affordable and close to all activities.The washing machine wasn't working (but a tradesperson was coming to look at it on Monday). It wasn't a biggie since ours was a short stay but it would have been a hassle if it was a longer stay only because the nearest laundromat is 30 minutes drive. The house is set up so you can entertain away from the kids if needed. Thank you for an awesome stay

    A lovely long weekend celebrating Mum’s 70th. We missed the first night due to the state of emergency but arrived to a warm, well-prepared home.Comfortable, family-friendly, and in a great spot near Goat Island and Matakana, with everything we needed. We’d happily stay again, such a relaxed, welcoming feel.

    There was a problem.with the TV and the host came all the way out to property to fix it for us the same day. We were blown away with how quickly it was sorted. The property was lovely, the kitchen well-stocked with all the equipment you'd need and the place was clean and tidy. Great location for trips to the beach or lounging around in bad weather. Thank you.

    We loved our stay at Leigh Family Bach! A spacious place the whole family could relax in. We loved the size of the 2 main bedrooms, great for teens! The extra room outside suited our older son and the bedroom off the kitchen suited hubby and I to a T. Great communication with Nigel. Holiday went off without a hitch!

    We needed a place near the venue of the wedding in Leigh, and this was ideal. It's an older house without air conditioning, but with the large airy rooms and the fans provided, we were comfortable. The property manager was very responsive, and the checking in and out was simple. Very happy.

    This bach was great! Better than the photos. all 4 adults had their own space and the place felt light and sunny. The fire was awesome. Close to the Leigh fish and chip shop and we swam daily down at Mathesons. Very close to the Leigh fire station so we had a few loud sirens but this did not bother us as all.
