Family Getaway
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!

Wedding
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.

A home away from home. Had everything that was required to make our stay welcoming.
Good locality even though we spent a lot of time in the Matakana area.
Great to look around Leigh as we all had never been there before.

Perfect for mixed aged families
Great for groups that need seperated spaces.
We booked accommodation for a Leigh sawmill event. Only a short walk through 3 shortcut walkways.
Only very small minus was the furniture was musty and the outdoor lounger was covered in animal hair.
Fully recommend staying here.

Spacious and comfortable bach, really enjoyed it!
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.

Very clean and tidy. Beds comfortable and plenty of blankets. Plenty of room and private. Toilet seat was loose when we got there. In the booklet, the recycle day was actually the rubbish day. Beautiful location and relaxing. Loved walking around Leigh and surrounding areas. Locals friendly. Thanks very much. Would recommend to others.
