Fabulous Holiday in Foxton Beach Jan 2024

The property was the perfect size for us with our youngest daughter. The location was great for walking everywhere. The outdoor shower was a super bonus we loved it after the beach every day. We loved the outdoor area at the front. Thanks

The perfect beach batch

Just what we needed. Easy access, close to everything, comfy queen bed, loved the birdsong in the morning. I would be nice to see some work done on the bathroom, the mirror is very high and I had great fun watching my daughter figure out the "old fashioned" toilet flusher! Would rent again!

Lovely & Cosy

The check In process very straight forward, the place is spotless clean, the fresh linen was an added bonus and the presentation of the towels along with shampoo tubes on it was a bonus also, I think some blinds in the kitchen dining area would be good because it gets very hot there and a large fan as well because the house can get very warm, but overall the place was good and thank you Craig & Lorraine

Great spot

We spent 5 days at the bach and overall had a wonderful time :) It was clean, tidy and comfortable with everything we needed. We spent many happy hours at the beach and exploring in the forest! For others travelling as a family, I would note that while the house is really well set up, we found it a wee bit niggly with our youngest child (under 3). E.g. there were limited spots to put breakables up out of the way; the bathroom/laundry sink is really high so she needed extra help to be able to wash hands; and, the kids bedroom door had only 2 options - wide open or closed (couldn't just leave it a crack).

Lovely clean tidy property. Well presented

We loved our stay. Although we couldn’t get the television to go on normal tv. Maybe leaving instructions would be beneficial. I thought the “caught short basket” was a great idea. I thought the fry pan could be replaced. But thanks heaps. We had a place down the road and thought this was as fantastic as our own. Thanks.
