Retro dog-friendly family beach bach

Welcome to your beach stay! This sunny four bedroom classic 1950’s bach is one street back from popular Foxton Beach, and can sleep up to four adults and five children.

Decked out in retro furniture, Axminster carpets and vintage furnishings, plus all the modern essentials for a classic kiwi holiday at the beach - look no further for a spot to call home.

Larger than your average bach, the property is spacious and comfortable. Upstairs off the entrance hallway there is an open plan kitchen (fully equipped with toaster, kettle, Nespresso machine etc) and diner, with the lounge leading to a sunny conservatory with wicker couches to enjoy the morning sun, and stocked with toys and puzzles for the kids to get in to. There is a large deck off the dining room with outdoor seating and beanbags, which leads to the fully fenced yard - perfect after a day beaching! There’s a queen bedroom upstairs, with the other three bedrooms (a king and two bunk rooms) and the bathroom/laundry downstairs. Please note that you must walk through one of the bunk rooms to access the master bedroom (doors separate the two rooms). The property lends itself well to all seasons, being elevated to take advantage of the sea breezes and all day sun. It is well equipped with heatpump/heaters for those cooler months.

With the beach, estuary, dunes, forest (with bike trails), a new pump track, basketball and tennis courts and skate park only a few minutes walking distance, you are completely set up with things to do whilst you’re visiting, at all times of the year.

In terms of amenities, there’s L’arte, an amazing coffee shop/gallery at the end of the road, OBE, the local restaurant/bar/ice cream stand a one minute walk away, a well stocked Four Square, two fish & chip shops and jetski/paddleboard hire. Foxton township is 10 minutes away with a New World supermarket, independent stores, a gallery, cafes and the redeveloped river loop. Off the Loop Wakeboard park in also on the loop and open in summer.

Please note that this is our family bach and not a party house. Any bookings exceeding 4 adults will be cancelled, sorry.

Cleaning fee includes bed linens, however you will need to bring your own bath and beach towels.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Holben - Te Wharangi Reserve. A gym and a water park are available. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the holiday home.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and patio
  • Free WiFi
  • Splash around at the water park
  • On-site recreation includes a gym
  • Just a 3-minute walk from Holben - Te Wharangi Reserve and 9 minutes by car from De Molen, Windmill

School holiday getaway
This bach was perfect for our three families to have a great break. Awesome retro vibe. Super clean, comfortable, great facilities, awesome games and books for all ages, and an easy walk to the beach. Will definitely book again. Thanks so much for offering an affordable beach holiday option.

Gorgeous nostalgic beach house
My kids asked if we could stay forever! The house itself was spotlessly clean, well equipped with everything you need for a chilled time at the beach. A short walk to the beach (which has the most amazing sunsets) and a short bike ride to the park with great bike track, skate park and playground including flying fox its a kids dream! We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back!

Home Away from Home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was immaculate when we arrived, and we felt relaxed and comfortable immediately. There is plenty of space in the open plan kitchen/lounge and we found the deck sunny and sheltered. The kitchen is well stocked with wine glasses and crockery etc and the bedrooms had plenty of pillows, towels, blankets etc. We enjoyed playing the many board games availability and my children loved playing with all the toys. Our stay was in the middle of winter and we found the house lovely and warm. This property is in a great location, only steps away from the beach and the local bar and restaurant. We found the owner very helpful and quick with her communication. We would 10/10 recommend this property and would definitely stay here again.
