This was our first time to Foxton Beach so we didn't know what to expect really. The beach house is truely the quintessential ‘Kiwi bach', but one that walks you back a few decades. If you are expecting luxury, then this is not your sort of place, but if you want to experience the holidays of yesteryear, then this might be for you. There is no wifi, and thank god, as our kids ‘came back’ and experienced playing games and interacting the way we used to. The fire is a big plus and warms your body and heart at night. The bach itself is reasonably large and the living area has room for everyone. Everything is there as far as amenities are concerned and the hosts were helpful throughout, providing us with a folder of ‘things to do’ and a guide to all the workings of the place. We especially enjoyed playing the LP’s.
Foxton Beach , about a 5 minute walk, was lovely and is vast. You can even drive on the sand for what looks like forever.
Grumpy’s fish n’ chips is a must, but expect a decent wait on a Friday or Saturday night.
Thank you to our hosts – would stay again.
