Whangateau trip
Lovely house in a lovely location halfway betwen Leigh and Matakana. Comfy beds, the decks were great for sitting outside. Having an accessible shower was great for my mother - i would like to recommend an anti slip mat for the tiled floor.

Wedding Weekend
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.

Fantastic location and fabulous facilities!
We loved our stay at this brilliant bach, which delivered on everything we were looking for in a short family break. Handy for Matakana, Omaha and Tawharanui, as well as our new favourite beach Matheson Bay, it is also a place where you can stay put and relax. The kids loved the board games, kayaks and the huge yard for cricket, while we enjoyed the outlook over the water, the excellent coffee machine and the space inside and out. We’ll be back!
