Currently under construction is a new flying fox to compliment the area.

If you're keen on fishing, the wharf next to the Manawatu Marine Boat Club along the river is a great spot to cast your line, along with fishing at the river mouth and fishing directly of the beach. There are several outlets that sell a variety of bait and fishing accessories located at Foxton Beach.

In the whitebait season the Manawatu River & Whitebait Creek are popular places to put on your waders and put your nets out.

There are several cafe's for those who enjoy a good coffee, great walks along the beach, estuary or forrest.

More eating and coffee spots in Foxton township only 8 minutes drive away, along with some unique and kwerky shops and off course Foxton's own flour making De Mollen Windmill.

Lives up to it's name!
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.

About the host

Hosted by Gary & Linda Eccleston

Host profile image
Gary & I relocated to Foxton Beach in 2013 after frequently visiting and staying in the local holiday homes here. We fell in love with the beauty of the place and so much in unique ways on offer. We love the climate, the beach, the estuary and the local attractions. It certainly beats the hustle and bustle of city life. Come and see for yourselves. We look forward to meeting and hosting you.

Why they chose this property

Our home has much to offer to not just us but our family, friends and now visitors in 2 separate self contained areas. Situated within walking distance to so much at Foxton Beach it's lovely to be able to share with others. The climate is very good generally without too much rain or wind. Locals are friendly and welcoming and there is much to do for the very young to the older folk. Foxton's main street has varied and interesting shops and attractions for a little town including a working milling windmill, bi cultural library and information centre. Cafes and a well equipped supermarket. Down the road, 20 mins drive is Levin with more shopping and activities and north is Palmerston North, 35 mins drive with loads of different cuisine restuarants and many shops for those who love to shop to the extreme. Our beach is patrolled in the summer with very capable and dedicated life savers. The beach and estuary are well supported with all sorts of water activities including, fishing, surfing, swimming, boating, kyaking, canoing, paddle boarding and jet skiing. A great place to rest, rejuvenate and enjoy getting away from home but not having to travel too far to do so. Central to so much.

What makes this property unique

De Mollen Windmill. Cultural Park. Jet Ski hire. Scooter hire. Wake Boarding & Paddle Boarding right here in Foxton.
