Very nice and tidy place, beds were great, our host was very obliging, attentative when needed and friendly. Very relaxing place and would definitely recommend staying here.
What a great spot! We loved staying at Breathe in Foxton Beach. The bach was in great condition and perfectly located. Linda was a fantastic host - we loved our welcome pack. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
It was a really lovely stay in Foxton Beach.
The property was clean and tidy.
It was very well set up for our 5 year old child too - with a big basket of toys and a selection of books to read before bed.
Really nicely decorated and well equipped bach near to the park and other amenities and perfect for our stay. We also appreciated the really thoughtful extras of snacks and bubbles, childrens toys and the xmas decorations which were great for our stay over xmas.
Loved our stay at Linda and Gary’s. very spacious, comfortable and centrally located, highly recommend. Linda and Gary are pleasantly welcoming, and friendly host, communicating with them was quick and easy. Thank you
We were in and out alot as we went down for a funeral and to look after our grandchildren during this time. They loved playing with the toys available and reading the books - it was very friendly towards all age groups.
My partner and I absolutely loved our stay here. The house looked even better than the pictures and the double spa bath was a great bonus. Very close to amenities that my partner and I decided to walk around foxton beach rather than drive. All in all, it was a wonderful stay and we would highly recommend staying at "Breathe".
Comfortable and clean place to stay, about a 3-min drive to beach and about 3-min walk to estuary. Lots of nice touches like the enjoyable art on the walls, the welcome drink, treats and note, the huge bucket of great toys for our toddler, and the wall-to-wall luxurious carpet. And most of all, the awesome spa bath. Thanks Linda and Gary for a relaxing stay.
Breathe was the perfect place for rest and relaxation. Beautiful spa, shower and water. Everything you could possibly need to just sit back and relax. Thank you Linda and Gary, we would love to come back!
Love staying here. Really liked the reclining couch and chair. Bedrooms are lovely. Only thing that could be improved is the toilet, could do with a lick of paint and thorough clean and the freezer door could do with black mold removed.
Breathe was just what we needed for our family holiday. A lot of thought and care had been taken to ensure everything we might need was available. A lovely welcoming gift and card on arrival was lovely too!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Breathe. A very clean, cosy, comfortable stay for our family. We felt spoilt on arrival to find bubbles and snacks! Breathe was the perfect size for our family of four. The spa bath was a favourite. The location is great, with walking distance to playgrounds, the beach and takeaways/coffee. It was a relaxing stay and we would stay again.
