We had such an amazing time away at this little hidden gem of a property! It was just what we needed, peaceful and homely with the most fantastic view. We brought our two dogs along too. It had an awesome fully fenced yard for them to run around in, and they loved lounging on the deck almost as much as we did! Can’t recommend this place enough

Perfect location, gorgeous little bach that's got everything you need, so relaxing looking out at the sea, close to the amazing walks, really comfy place, lovely and warm (here in winter), we absolutely LOVED our short stay here. The McLeod Bay fish & chips were also superb.

Ideal spot for a holiday in the Whangārei area.
We spent our last two nights here of our eight night road trip of Northland. It was so idyllic that we spent the second (and last) day staying local to McLeod Bay rather than going back to Whangārei township. This is a true bach with lots of little extras. Very peaceful and comfortable. Eateries close by. Stunning scenery. Would be a great place for families to holiday (we are an older couple).

Gorgeous sea views & we enjoyed dining on the front deck. My woofee also loved the secure fenced garden to play in. Many thanks Robyn & Peter - we will be back Kindest Bex & co
