About this property
Summer getaway in McLeod Bay
With views of the harbour to the front, and majestic Mt Manaia to the rear, McLeod Bay is the ideal spot for your summer getaway.
Safe swimming across the road, great fishing and diving in the harbour and beyond, a one-minute drive to good boat launching, surf beaches nearby, and beautiful walks and tracks in the area for all fitness levels – there’s something for everyone here.
This tidy three-bedroom home has a cabin out the back which serves as a fourth bedroom. Inside the house: Bedroom 1 has a king bed; bedroom 2 has a king single with rollaway single bed; bedroom 3 has bunk beds. Out in the cabin is a queen bed and, separated by a partition wall, another queen bed.
