About this property

Fully fenced family and pet friendly iconic kiwi bach awaits

3 bedroom bach with spacious fully fenced section. Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac with large reserve to kick around a ball or play cricket and also direct entrance into mountain bike and walking tracks through forest.

Fantastic in the summer months and also very warm in winter with a log fire. A 10 minute walk through sand hills to Foxton Beach. Sheltered, quiet section with ample room for kids and dogs to run around. Off the kitchen is a sheltered launday/porch area for your pooch to snuggle up at night. 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.

Base rate per night covers up to 4 guests. There is an additional guest fee of $20 per extra guest per night.

There is also unlimited WiFi at the property - @ $20 per stay.

Special conditions:
Two-night minimum stay

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to leave the bach as you wish to find it (full cleaning supplies provided), bring your own linen (towels/sheets).

We know the house from an earlier visit. Really like it. However, on arrival, it was not as clean as it was last time round, nothing serious, just a bit scruffy.

We thought this was a good place that suited our needs. It was good with the fire which made it nice and cosy. It was tidy when we arrived. Great for being a dog owner as the walks were close and the back yard was great for her to run around.

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.

Love this Bach, has it all!

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.

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.
