We had a great stay! Really loved the extra toys available to use and being close to the playground and skatepark was also fantastic. Would book again.
Such a lovely kiwi batch. It has everything you need and is in a handy location. We loved the big section and that all of the beds were comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
This bach has a lovely setting up against the sand dunes and trees in foxton beach, close to the estuary, and with a walking track over the dunes to the beach at the end of the quiet road. We had a delightful stay, popping over to the beach for a morning swim or a sunset view, having tea on the front porch watching sunrise, walking along the estuary or wandering down to the Ocean Beach Eatery. Beds were very comfortable, shower was good, bathroom and kitchen updated from the classic bach original design. Garden lovely out the back. Jeff was fantastic to communicate with and very kind - I hope you found the bottle of wine we left you :) Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a stay in foxton beach.
Brilliant little batch on the beach close to everything you need, Well suited for a Family but we made it work quite well for Adult's. Would stay here again
Place was nice and well equipped and lots for the kids. No cleaning fee as it is upto the occupiers to clean after stay, which we didnt mind doing, however the place was very dusty and most rooms needed a good deep clean, every dish we used had not been cleaned properly so doesnt seem like this may be the best way to approach this booking.
Lovely, clean property with all the amenities you could hope for for a family holiday..We were there for a couple of nights, which could have been extended with ease.Only comment that may be of use for those with mobility or sight issues (we had elderly relatives visit) is that like many baches, the floor was uneven and may be a trip hazard. This is unlikely to be a big issue for families with active kids who will enjoy this property and all it offers.Would definitely rebook if revisiting Foxton Beach.
