Robyn’s place was wonderful. We stayed for 2 weeks and didn’t want to leave. Very cozy and well appointed. The kayaks were a real bonus. Robyn and Pete were great hosts. Very responsive and informative about the area. We had a wasp nest starting to build on the sleep out and Pete was there within an hour to deal with it!Definitely a ten out of ten.
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.
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
Absolutely loved our stay. The cottage is lovely and has everything you need and more. Stunning views and sunset from the decking which is where we spent most of our time. Great location and communication from Robyn.
Fantastic space right on the beachfront. Incredible sunsets both nights that we stayed, and an amazing deck to enjoy them from.
Great facilities. Everything you need for a comfortable stay.
I want to visit again, and again, again.
Easy check in, great communication. Absolutely fell in love with this little cottage. Gorgeous view, peaceful location with a cafe just up the road.

About the host
Hosted by Robyn
My husband and I are both born and raised in Northland. My family have been coming to McLeods bay for family holidays since I was a young child so it just seemed like a natural choice for us to purchase the cottage when it came up for sale. We have spent many wonderful holiday's here with our children and love sharing it with other friends and families.
