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

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.
