About the host
Hosted by David Dougherty
We have been coming to St Leonards for over 15 years. Our family of 5 and many friends have had great times here.
Why they chose this property
We choose this property as we wanted a large block with plenty of space. Large established trees and the retreat gives you that extra space. Walk into the nature reserve in 5 minutes and onto the beach in under 10 minutes. Its quiet bushy and relaxing with dirt roads between you and the beach walk via the nature reserve
What makes this property unique
Large block of land so you have plenty of open space around you as thats what we come here for. Some properties have two houses on the one block with others almost on top of you. Plenty of space for kids and dogs to roam inside secure fences. A large north facing deck that in summer has a mixture of sun and shade with the decking built around a large tree. The front also has a large decking where you can see a partial sunset and wait to great family and friends. All bedrooms open onto a decking area with sliding doors giving you a bright and open feel to all rooms, If you have a boat plenty of room to get it of the road. Each Bedroom is airconditioned as is the two living areas giving you comfort. The large rear deck is built around a large beautiful leafy tree giving natural shade with a built in BBQ and sink. TV in 3 rooms. Wifi ,washing machine,
