Leigh is a relaxed beach town, small and friendly. This house is just the right kind of place to stay in while visiting the town. It is more funky than fancy, with a bedroom and bath tacked on the back. It is very comfortable, with a well-stocked kitchen, plenty of blankets, lots of books and DVDs. You can walk from the house to the Leigh Bar or the General Store (note: the General Store cannot accept foreign credit cards; bring cash). It's a short drive to Goat Island or Mathesons Bay Beach if you are beaching it, and not far to Matakana (you should eat at Matakana Kitchen) or SheepWorld for a demonstration of sheep herding and sheering. We had a great time and would highly recommend this rental home.
