Great place to stay at Foxton Beach. Has everything you could need (except tv and WiFi, but we found the lack of it to be a feature - there's loads of toys, games and books provided to keep you busy). Plenty of heating provided to stay cosy in winter. The location is fantastic - five minutes walk from the beach, with an awesome little coffee shop and a bar/restaurant just a couple of minutes walk away. Right across the road from a lovely reserve +swings, or take a 5-10 minute stroll along the path by a swampy stream with ducks pūkeko and butterflies abounding to an excellent playground. Ten minutes walk to a gorgeous eery pine forest perfect for a slow ramble (buggy friendly as long as you've got good tyres) or a bike ride. Excellent hosts, communication and instructions detailed and accurate. Bed was v comfy too! I imagine the outdoor deck + furniture is perfect in the warmer months for relaxing with a drink.
