Classic Kiwiana bach

Classic 'Kiwiana' bach set in bush above Matheson Bay, Leigh. Private and sunny, surrounded by native bush and bird life with view of sea and Coromandel Peninsula. A few minutes walk down to safe, swimming beach with good snorkelling/ diving. Perfect retreat in all seasons - open the doors to let the summer breeze flow or snuggle up with woodburner to create cosy 'bolthole'. A 1970s bach ideally suited to small families or couples within an hour's drive from Auckland. Visit the nearby Leigh township, Sawmill cafe, Goat Island, or Pakiri. Omaha Beach, Tawharanui Regional Park and the Matakana Coast wineries are a short drive away along with Matakana village with its market, restaurants, shops and cinemas. Games, books/mags, kids toys, and dvds to keep you or the children amused.

Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;

Misleading and Unfair
We have been charged for 3 people staying at this property when we booked for and only had 2 staying. Despite sending an email we have no response and feel as though thereis dishonesty going on.

Great Family Bach Feel
We loved the location of this wee bach. Nestled into a small forest and very private, yet so close to the beach and walk way. Had a great family bach type feel with great views.
