An easy 10-minute walk to a large kids playground and skate park, cafe/restaurant. Not much further take a walk/bike ride up the stunning Estuary to enjoy the view and then munch down some good old kiwi fish n chips or pick up some supplies from the local four-square store.

Enjoy the evening by the fire, watching telly or with a game of darts or pool in the garage.

Perfect spot for people with a pooch

The bach was as described and had everything we needed for our stay. Being allowed to bring our pet, a fully fenced section and quick access to walking tracks under the pines made it a very good dog friendly destination.

Great holiday for kids

Lovely spot for a wee family holiday. Easy bike ride to the playground and bike park which our 3 year old loved. Lots of space inside and everything we needed. Quite warm when it reached 28 degrees but we used the fans.

We’ve stayed here a few times now and always love it. Added bonuses with amazing fire, and a heap of citrus trees laden with fruit. Thanks again for another brilliant stay.

Lovely. Just lovely.

Right by a peaceful forest & 5 mins walk from the beach. Fruit trees in the fenced garden. We stayed in winter/spring and had a roaring fire and a very relaxing stay. Lovely place to get away for a few days and recharge.

We loved the quiet location with access to beach & forest. (Our dogs loved it too!) Nothing fancy about the house, but had everything we needed, and it felt like a well-loved Bach.

Lovely comfy bach, great location

Great location, a lovely comfy bach - great section and being fully fenced meant it was great for the dogs, who were able to sleep in the porch are (another bonus). I meet a few of the friendly locals on my walks through the dunes. Recommend for your next getaway - I certainly hope to return.

Beach getaway

Very comfortable and quite roomy for even a large group. Everything needed in a normal home is supplied in good quantities and we were able to start our break straight away and replace supplies before we left. Really enjoyed the forest walks and would be great with a bike. Easy access to three great beaches (Foxton, Waitarere and Himatanga).

Family Reunion

This was a fantastic place for families as plenty of room outside and also the reserve and forest next door which the children just loved. If you need more accommodation then directly across the road is another bookabatch the we also used. So having two houses in walking distance was amazing.

About the host

Hosted by Laura

Host profile image
Hi, We are a family of four from Wellington. We like to get away and enjoy what Foxton Beach has to offer; and like to be able to share it with others too.

We have dogs and understand that they are part of the family, hence offering a dog friendly holiday option for the well trained pooch.

Our property is fully fenced and is a little sun trap. If it happens to be a windy day down at the beach you can be sure of some calm weather to enjoy regardless at our bach.
