Modern family Bach - child and animal friendly

A modern take on the classical 'Kiwi Bach', this holiday home is perfect for groups or families, with 2 bedrooms and open plan living, dining and kitchen with modern decor, furnishings, double glazing, insulation, heat pump and wifi. This holiday home is central to a number of great activities, walkways, parks and a number of fantastic kiwi eateries in Foxton Beach.

Based on a traditional kiwi bach, the property underwent an extensive modernisation in the late 2000's, adding insulation and double glazing, and we’ve just had a heat pump installed to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer.

The Bach includes a King bed in the main bedroom, and a bunk bed in the second bedroom with a double on the bottom and a single on the top. There is also a fold out sofa bed in the lounge for extra guests. Sheets, duvets, pillows and towels are provided for all guests.

Well fenced for pets and children.

The property includes a sleep-out which is yet to be renovated and used for storage at the moment, with items such as boogy boards, sports equipment, beach equipment, picnic sets etc at your disposal. The sleep-out also has an additional toilet. Bach also includes port-a-cot and high chair for littlies, as well as various toys, board games, indoor activities and unlimited wifi.

If your booking is short notice (i.e. within the next 72hrs), please make an enquiry first to confirm availability.

Great bach for family and pets
Great spot for a weekend getaway for the whole family. Really cute little bach with everything you can ask for. Right next to the best fish n chip shop and across the road from the cafe. So good to be able to take the dogs too. We’ll definitely be visiting again. So close to Wellington now the expressway is open past Ōtaki

Foxton beach mini break
We had a great stay at this bach. It is small but very functional and tidy. Good beds and great to have all linen and towels provided. Another huge bonus for us was the baby gear - a portacot and high chair making our stay really easy. The bach is in a convenient location - across the road from coffee, down the road from one of the best pump tracks and immediately next door to an excellent fish and chip shop with the widest menu ever seen. Would definitely recommend, especially to a small family and would come again.

Great little getaway
We were really impressed with the cleanliness and personal touches when we arrived, especially having a 2 year old in tow. Knowing there was a highchair, portacot and toys available took a lot of stress out of packing before we got there. We had a great stay and wished we could have stayed longer... next time. Thank you Andrew & Mel!
