Such a great place to stay! We enjoyed our cosy cabin stay - the beds were comfortable, the lemon tree had tasty lemons, and the kitchen had an air fryer. We loved that we could walk to the beach, playground, and tennis courts. Nic was very helpful and quick to respond when needed. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Wow, what an incredibly relaxing weekend, the house was everything we wanted and more. I did need to text the host and ask a question or 2 and she replied instantly. I would absolutely come back and stay again. The electric bbq did us just right and being able to have the fire was brilliant. Thank you nic!

Amazing and wonderful place to stay. Nicola was really helpful and communication was excellent. The dog was very happy with the beautiful and safe backyard. It felt like a home away from home with the added bonus of the roaring ocean. Thanks Nicola

The Leithfield Beach house was just what we needed for our Easter getaway. We felt relaxed from the moment we got there and our dogs did too. It was perfect for an easy walk to the beach or riverside walk (not swimming at this time of the year) or just resting up up to read a book. The area was quiet, so it was easy to hear the waves at the beach and just soak into holiday mode!

Lovely stay everything we needed .The two boys slept in sleeping bags on mats as we have had previous experience with very squeaky bunk beds , and this would have been the same . The dog loved being able to come with us and having a fully fenced section was amazing !
