Great Kiwi Bach

Had a lovely stay at Foxton, the cottage is a perfect kiwi bach. Location is great close to amenities and an easy walk to the beach. Being able to have gluten free fish ‘n’ chips at Delish takeaways was such a treat. I also had a facial at ‘Beauty and the Beach’, directly opposite the cottage and can highly recommend Chelsea, it was bliss!My 8, 13 and 15 year old loved their stay too, so much to keep them busy.Thanks for letting us stay at your holiday home :-)

True iconic Kiwi bach perfection

My wife and I needed a short break away. This bach was local and proved to be perfect. Just like the iconic bach holidays we had as kids. We'd stay again longer next time

5 night fishing escape

Lovely homely place to stay. Well set up with plenty of beds and seating options. We stayed mid winter and the heatpump was a lifesaver! Very central to wharf, beach, playground and eateries. Great communication from the friendly helpful owners. Will return in summer

Holiday with sisters

The Manor is in a great location, everything at your fingertips. Could not connect to wifi. Carpet could do with a clean. Felt sticky. Otherwise, wonderful living, played Articulate wrong, but was fun. Bowls was fun and loop the hoop. Heaps of bedding. We were catching up with each other after years apart. We wanted to stay longer, pity we couldn’t. Finally, thank you for your bach. I will be recommending to others in future.

Great experience

This was a 3 night stay for 2 of us and brought back memories of the batch experiences as a kid in the 1950s where everything was simple, the laundry was in a shed out the back and the toilet in another shed with a long drop. Although the laundry in this stay was in another building the toilet certainly wasn't, nor was it a long drop but in a very tidy and clean bathroom with a nice shower and plenty of room. Overall, the stay was excellent and would certainly go back again. The fish and chip shop and the coffee shop close by were arguably the best in the country. Foxton beach has an abundance of walkways/cycleways which are just 1 block away from this batch and are a great experience for a stay there. Great experience.

Lovely stay, nice and tidy. Only concern was due to the last minute booking the house did not have time to be aired out. Apart from that everythkng else was presented well.

Xmas 2023

A great place to stay for four adults. We enjoyed an extended family stay for Xmas, us, the son and daughter in law. Our grand daughter and her husband and two pre schoolers came to visit us on Xmas day and it was good that we could shut the gate to the driveway and the little ones could be safe. Mr Grumpies was good for dinner and we were close enough for the beach and estuary. Thank you for sharing your lovely bach that had everything we needed.
