    I booked both of Ross' properties to accomodate me, my fiance, our kids and our bridal party and it was one of the best decisons i made! The houses were awesome and there was so much space! The convenience was unmatched and everyone else agreed. Both houses gave us the feeling of home away from home and we all had a blast. Thank you so much! Would definitely love to stay again.

    Hi there, Overall our stay was good, we did enjoy ourselves. The location is beautiful! However I do want to mention a couple of things. The house wasn’t very clean. The rubbish situation wasn’t the best, the recycling bin was full so we had an allocated area on the deck where our recycling was put. We didn’t know what to do with the general rubbish and we didn’t get any information on what to do with it, eg put it on the road? Take it with us? In the front room there was only one power point in the room. The bed was very uncomfortable. When using the shower, the water would go hot and cold. We had issues with the washing machine, it kept coming up with an alert ‘SP’, but we did get it working in the end. Thank you, Kelsey Garrick

    Nothing flash here. No air con and we stayed over a very muggy period. Owner very responsive and easy to deal with though and supplied a couple of fans immediately. Kayak access to estuary would've been difficult via back yard due to mangroves. This is indicated in manual. We didn't attempt it but we could've put them in over the road in the estuary, a couple of houses over where there is a small, very pretty beach. Great they supply kayaks for use. The house suited us for the number of beds available and allowing a dog. Location good for walks on Omaha Beach in the mornings and exploring Goat Island. Local fish and chip shop is up the road in Leigh. Great comms and very helpful owner.

    Our group (two families) had a great weekend away, despite the weather. The location was great for Goat Island and Matakana - so much to do in the area. And the bach was peaceful and comfortably accommodated our group of 7.

    This beautiful home provided our group with everything we needed to celebrate a friends wedding in Leigh - great place to rest, watch the league, yarn and pre-load before our event and de-brief over a cuppa when we retreated back to the house.

    The location was great. Goat island snorkeling, wine tasting, the reptile park, gelato and the farmers market all within a short drive. Beautiful area. Ross was very quick to respond to our questions. The rain/weather did its best to dampen our spirits, but we still had fun.
