This fantastic bach is a great family beach house.

Great holiday home or quick escape from the city. Just one and a half hours drive from Wellington and 30 minutes from Palmerston North.

Look out over the sea. A fantastic swimming beach with surf life savers on duty over summer. Great for wind activities like kite surfing, blow carting or just going for long strolls.

Excellent value for $$$

We booked the bach for some of our performers that were taking part in The Little Foxton Beach Comedy Fest, and it was perfect for us. Very close to the venue we were using, plenty of parking and all that you needed for a stay. Thank you very much for the hospitality and we'd love to book again next year :)

Great location, spacious house, our daughter enjoyed the toys thanks. We won't be back though because of the stained mattress protector and pillows, and overall level of uncleanliness.

Great batch style house close to the beach and the pub. Got everything you need. Showers average but with a short stay dont need it. Us cousins meet once a year to catch up and chill for a weekend away. Will be back.

Great location, but accommodation leaves a lot to be desired.

Awesome location, close to beach with wonderful views. Outdoor furniture to enjoy those views was sadly lacking and the general state of cleanliness and condition of furniture/bedding etc was not up to acceptable standard. It's a beach bach, and we really didn't expect luxury but the house needs a thorough clean (of dead bugs all over the walls) and some outdoor furniture for it to feel like somewhere we'd stay again.

There are folding deck chairs in the corner of the lounge for use outside. We store them inside as the sea air is too hard on them to leave them outside.

Stay at 42 Nelson Street

We loved the house. Unfortunately, the heating upstairs didn't work but we sorted that out with heaters elsewhere in the house. It is a very versatile home, with easy access to the beach, and is not so pristine clean that you didn't feel comfortable. We would suggest a deep clean by a professional company once a year to keep it is tip-top shape. Would definitely come back

Great location

The house was in a great spot 2 min walk to the beach. Great deck to sit on and enjoy the sun. 3 good size rooms and 1 small room. But the house was dirty, The toilets leaked water all over the floor.There was sand although the shower. The duvets supplied were dirty ( we had our own sheets and pillows so didnt use anything there.) We only stayed 1 night instead of two. Its a shame as the house has a lot of potential it just needs a really good clean.

Beach bach

The location of the bach was amazing. Close to the beach and a lovely view. Unfortunately it was very cold and the heating wasn’t sufficient. Some of the power outlets didn’t seem to be working and the fridge/freezer was also not working. Thankfully we weren’t reliant on the freezer as, even after 5 days, the bread in the freezer remained unfrozen.

Freezer had frosted up. I defrosted and it is working fine. Sorry about that. Will have a heat pump installed before next winter.

Fantastic Whanau Holiday Home

Had a lovely experience staying at this property. It was convenient for us as it was close to the beach and we spent majority of our time there. It was unfortunate we only had nice weather the first day and the rest of our stay was indoors as it was raining but it was awesome to have indoor activities for us to use. Just ashamed to see some of the equipment not look after by previous stayers as some of the chairs were broken or not dishes weren’t cleaned properly. Other then that we enjoyed our stay and the neighbours were lovely and made us feel welcomed. Will love to stay here in the near future.

Cleaning shocking

The house it selfs beautiful but the cleaning is shocking rung owner and he said someone had checked out then I checked in I said you should have checked the house before we came he said not when I'm working .It looked like some one stayed hadn't been cleaned then we arrived.
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 3 November 2022
The previous guests checked out midday the same day and had not cleaned. Part of the agreement is that you clean before you leave and they had breached this agreement. I refunded $100 as compensation to Selena for the inconvenience. I was working in Palmerston North and unfortunately did not have an opportunity to check the property. It is unusual to have bookings in & out same day and I normally have time to check between bookings in the evening.
