Foxton Visit
This property was everything that a group of 5 ladies could want.it was very clean and there were 4 bedrooms inside with a set of bunks plus 2 single beds. 2 queen size beds. the only thing that we saw as a trip hazzard was the large rug in the lounge, it did not lie flat, but we rolled it up and popped it behind the couch. other than that the house was just perfect for us

Nice tidy well equipped bach
The Bach was a nice place to stay while my son was completing in a sports competition in Palmerston North. The communications with the owner were good. The beach is not far and we enjoyed walking on the beach and watching the sunset from the sand dunes. I recommend the Bach as a place to stay.

Fantastic Foxton
The bach was very tidy and great for relaxing. We discovered the Manawatu estuary was hosting the Bar Tailed Godwits and they were a nice walk away, so we ventured out there three days, and they got closer and closer. Comfy beds, modern facilities, lovely new carpet and room for soccer on the front lawn. Great location and well priced. Highly recommended. Jeff very easy to connect with and a great host.

Lovely Bach
A lovely Bach with everything we needed for a wonderful family weekend away. Comfy beds, great shower, nice lounge space. Was great to open the patio doors and sit at the bbq table for brunch. Tidy, warm and comfortable. Foxton Beach is an awesome spot with fabulous sunsets. Thank you so much for sharing your bach, we loved our stay!

Fantastic Family Bach
My children and I had a wonderful stay at the bach, which was in a quiet cul de sac near the beach. It had everything we needed, including toys for the little children and DVDs to get through the hottest part of the day (we got all the good beach weather!). There is a park a short walk away with a fun bike track (helmets needed), and the estuary can be walked or biked around from here, too. We could also walk to the beach along a track through the dunes, which was a fun option. The street was child friendly, and it felt very relaxing to stay there. We would love to stay again.
