Leigh SMERGS weekend.
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.

Great Family sized Batch
We only had three adults in the Batch to attend a wedding locally but it could easily cater well for a family looking for a base with good facilities and a good location along this part of the coast.
