Tidy comfy convenient unit

Comfortable and clean place to stay, about a 3-min drive to beach and about 3-min walk to estuary. Lots of nice touches like the enjoyable art on the walls, the welcome drink, treats and note, the huge bucket of great toys for our toddler, and the wall-to-wall luxurious carpet. And most of all, the awesome spa bath. Thanks Linda and Gary for a relaxing stay.

Wonderful

My partner and I absolutely loved our stay here. The house looked even better than the pictures and the double spa bath was a great bonus. Very close to amenities that my partner and I decided to walk around foxton beach rather than drive. All in all, it was a wonderful stay and we would highly recommend staying at "Breathe".

Lives up to it's name!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Breathe. A very clean, cosy, comfortable stay for our family. We felt spoilt on arrival to find bubbles and snacks! Breathe was the perfect size for our family of four. The spa bath was a favourite. The location is great, with walking distance to playgrounds, the beach and takeaways/coffee. It was a relaxing stay and we would stay again.

Good break

Love staying here. Really liked the reclining couch and chair. Bedrooms are lovely. Only thing that could be improved is the toilet, could do with a lick of paint and thorough clean and the freezer door could do with black mold removed.
