Lovely house in an idyllic setting
We loved our stay. The house was very clean and cosy with a well equiped kitchen. The view is amazing, rain or shine and not having a Tv made the stay even better. There are lots of great walks and many interesting things to do. We were sad to leave. Highly recommend.

Fantastic place!
A great little Bach in a wonderful location. Everything was as described. Plenty of space for the boat and a nice hot shower after a day on the water was most welcome. The Bach is well equipped with everything you need for a chilled stay away. Thank you.

Cozy family cottage with a wonderful view, lots of board games. Short drive to beautiful beaches and lovely walks (mount manaia is really beautiful). No WiFi or TV, but sundowners, bird sounds and counting boats.

Perfect family bach
We loved Little Squirt. Fab for our family of 4 and not having TV or internet was a great thing. Played alot of games and just hung out. Close to everything - beaches, fabulous hikes and walks, cafes, taverns and playgrounds. Would definitely return.

It was a lovely kiwi batch and reminded me of holidays I spent with my parents and grandparents at McLeods Bay. The owners were lovely and phoned to make sure everything was ok.

Family holiday getaway
Thank you for a wonderful time in an amazing location! We were so lucky to stay in such a great place with the perfect yard for kids, wonderful view and many beaches close by aswell as walks and Cafe's. Little squirt provided everything we needed lovingly tucking us up after big days out exploring the surrounds. . We are both chefs so a getaway in the holidays is a very rare event. Thank you so much Maraia, Lewis and the kidlets 🙂

Cute clean kiwiana Bach with fabulous views in idyllic McLeod Bay with lots to do in the area
First time in this area for us. Such a great location for walks and swims at local beaches. Enjoyed the natural NZ bays and beautiful view from living area, kitchen and deck. Very tastefully decorated and clean! Lots of crockery and glasses and utensils. BBQ, dishwasher and outdoor shower a bonus. We would love to return for another holiday!

Couldn't use the boat ramp at end of drive but there was one we could over the hill.
Couldn't use the boat ramp at end of drive but there was one we could over the hill. Lovely and clean. Wi-Fi would open up options but never a tv. That would dampen little squirts charm.
