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!
We really enjoyed this cute & private cottage. Couldnt believe the amount of extras available to us & the coal range was a bonus. We were cosy relaxed from the word go.
This is a cute cottage in a lovely location. We really enjoyed our stay. Short walk to the beach. Clear and helpful instructions. Was very peaceful and relaxing.
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!

This is a brilliant little bach. Private and peaceful with lots of sunny spots to sit, both inside and outside. You can hear the sea. Highly recommended.
Our stay was for family birthday celebrations so didnt spend much time in or around the area. We had some difficulty finding the property but was dark otherwise really enjoyed our stay here
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 !
Great cottage,we all loved the cottage ,gorgeous back yard and enjoyed watching the birds.. it was very clean and had everything we needed.. so close to the beach too. We wished we could have stayed longer.
Loved my first stay at the cottage. So close to the city yet far enough away to feel you’d escaped the rat race. Had everything I needed and very comfortable (especially the bed ) and very friendly and responsive host without intruding into privacy. I’ll be back and recommended.
