Classic charm at Denee family bach

Relax and enjoy our traditional family bach. Located in the middle of Leigh but tucked away in a secluded spot, away from the road and surrounded by bush on two sides. The bach has open-plan kitchen and lounge with sliding doors opening to the deck and views of the bush-clad valley and the sea. Within walking distance of Sawmill Cafe, local shops, Mathesons Bay and Leigh Harbour. A short car trip to the many local attractions including Goat Island Marine Reserve, Pakiri surf beach, Omaha, Tawharanui Regional Park, the Matakana Markets, winetasting at the many local vineyards, and many others.

This loved family bach is ideal for families or couples and unfortunately can not be let for the intention of parties as we do respect our neighbours and would not tolerate excessive noise or behaviour.
Special conditions:
Smoking outside only.

Listed price is for 6 people only (not including children under 12 months).

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$40.00 per stay); Optional Linen @ $15 per person, minimum $60. NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/pillow case/tea towels); Bring own food and toilet paper. Cleaning products are provided.

Perfect spot
We really enjoyed our very quick visit to Leigh. The batch was clean, tidy and very comfortable, which suited our needs to attend a friend’s wedding close by. Great communication with Doris (owner) from the very start of when we booked and also before our arrival. Definitely recommend staying here if Leigh is in your plans.

Humble treasure in Leigh
What a cool wee place. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet, old-school feel, lazing on the lovely sunny porch, exploring the backyard paths through native bush, watching Labyrinth on Netflix and spotting all the beautiful birdlife (hope the kereru that slammed into the window doesn't have any lasting injuries!). Only improvement I can think of would be to add a couple of large sharp knives to the cutlery drawer. Overall, we found the Denee family bach to be an excellent base from which to explore Leigh. Thanks for having us!

We had to make our beds.
We paid $60 extra for bed linen and towels, which they just left on the unmade bed. The online advice about what to bring should be more accurate.

We have stayed at this property a couple of times, and each time we all feel so calmed and re-set by our stay. It is only a short drive from the city, and has everything you need. We highly recommend this accommodation - feels like you're a family member staying at a family bach!

Lovely Bach!
We had such a lovely stay in Leigh. This was such a cute bach near to the beach and great snorkeling. The clear instructions ahead of time helped us be prepared with our own sheets and towels, and knowing to clean before we left. I would recommend bringing all your food in sealed containers though, as there were cockroaches everywhere (part of the charm of staying in the bush, I suppose!)
