This place is close to the sand dunes which are a fantastic place for the kids to play and make memories. The house has all you will need in terms of everyday living items and was kept toasty warm with the wood burner (wood provided). The skate park down the road was great for a hoon too. Foxton itself has some interesting shops, not so much at Foxton beach but there is a 4 Square for urgent grocery needs and a cafe there too. Close enough to Wellington for it to be an easy half day travel yet far enough away for it to feel like a real break.
