For those of you keen on bird watching, you'll be delighted to know the world acclaimed Manawatu Estuary is a 3 - 4 minute walk away. Such a peaceful spot to visit with it's ever changing views and different migratory birds.

A whole house water filtration system has been fitted with 6 stage filtration giving our guests premium water to drink and shower in.

This walk alongside the beautiful world acclaimed Manawatu Estuary, is the home to many species of bird life. 15 – 17 minutes walk to the fully patrolled swimming beach during the summer months.
We are close to a lovely recreation area that hosts an amazing pump park, skateboard park, childrens play area, BBQ's, tennis courts and even an outdoor table tennis table.
Currently under construction is a new flying fox to complement the area.

If you're keen on fishing, the wharf next to the Manawatu Marine Boat Club along the river is a great spot to cast your line, along with fishing at the river mouth and fishing directly of the beach. There are several outlets that sell a variety of bait and fishing accessories located at Foxton Beach.

In the whitebait season the Manawatu River & Whitebait Creek are popular places to put on your waders and put your nets out.

A great stay at Memories
This place was cosy and quiet, it was a great place to come ro at the end of the day. I really appreciated the snacks that were provided and the extra effort Gary and Linda made to get me sparkling grape juice instead of bubble! They were very welcoming but left me to my privacy for the duration of my stay. The communicated with them was good they were quick to respond to any questions I had and I knew if I needed anything I could contact them. The place had everything you could need. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and highly recommend this place for anyone staying at Foxton Beach.

Foxy Times at Foxton Beach
We really enjoyed our time at Memories. We were down in the Manawatu from the South Waikato for the Junior Motocross Championships so we unfortunately didn’t get to spend a lot of time at Memories, but what time we did spend there, we thoroughly enjoyed. Memories had everything we needed, the bed was super comfortable, and the shower was devine. It was such a nice home away from home to come back to from a long day at Motocross. We would definitely recommend & stay again. All the very best, Michele & Dan

About the host

Hosted by Gary & Linda Eccleston

Host profile image
Gary & Linda moved to Foxton in 2013 to escape the Wellington city life. We fell in love with Foxton Beach and the lovely things we found to do here. The people are lovely and friendly and the weather much better too. We love the fact we can hear the see from our home, such a peaceful sound. We love to share our self contained accommodation with those looking for a bit of R & R and a place to just get away from life for a bit.

Why they chose this property

So close to everything from the beach to town to bigger cities. Something for everyone can be found here. Very unique in many ways. Everyone that comes finds something unique to them and that's what Memories is all about. About the people that stay, that make what they make of it for themselves.

What makes this property unique

We have it all here at the beach. Estuary, beach, forest, river, township, rural, all within 10 mins drive from Memories.
