Discover charm, relaxation and great views to Foxton Beach from different spaces

Discover charm and relaxation at Seabury Lookout, a unique retreat with a rich history as the original Postmaster house. Perched strategically on a hill, the expanded deck offers a year-round spot to enjoy your favorite beverage looking out to views of farmland. From various rooms inside you can spy the estuary, river, recreational park, and the majestic Tararua Ranges. Inside, the bach features classic kiwi living, including a spacious bathroom with a separate toilet and a shower over the bath. The sheltered deck, often bathed in sunlight, is comfortable with built in table picnic style and umbrella you can put up to keep the sun away. A separate lounge with a TV and DVD player is perfect for kids, while the main lounge offers ample seating and a cosy fire in winter. Bedrooms are easy-care relaxation spaces. Entertainment options include puzzles, games, and some of the latest NZ House & Garden editions. The nearby beach, offers various activities, and Mr Grumpy's, just a 5-minute walk away, serves some of the best fish and chips in NZ. Safety is a priority with gates over the driveway and deck to keep everyone safe. As night falls, the settlement lights up, creating a beautiful nocturnal panorama. Explore the river for sailing, bird viewing, white baiting (seasonal), or fishing. Within walking distance, find a boat club, bowling club, Ramstar rated world-class estuary, and an amazing playground for the size of the community with skate board ramps, skate park, tennis courts with turf, petanque, walking track, kids play equipment for all ages and basketball hoops, outdoor table tennis, flying fox. And you can spy the older kids from the lounge and bedroom! Bring your golf clubs for a round of golf nearby at Foxton. Close to the race course and regular market. The stars at night time are magnificent. A short drive takes you to the historic town of Foxton, known for its working flour windmill De Molen. Bicycle paths stretch from the beach to Foxton. Foxton offers attractions like the National Sound and Movie Museum, Te Awahou Dutch museum, public pool, Awahou Boardwalk, Foxton murals, Seaview Gardens, Manawatu river loop, and the Flax Museum. Thrill-seekers can enjoy the wakeboard park for water sports, and events at Manfield or Palmerston North are a short drive away. Foxton, with its sizable Dutch population, features the Manawatu Dutch Club, a Reformed Church, and a Dutch café: Café De Molen amongst many other lovely cafes and shopping. Book in to unwind, explore, and create memories at our bach, where history meets comfort, and every moment celebrates the laid-back Kiwi lifestyle. The very positive reviews have been consistent over the past 15 years, come and find out for yourself.
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Beachy
Very nice beach property. Well equiped with everything you could need. Good access to walks, river and beach. My only quibble would be the requirement to provide your own linen and doing the cleaning. It’s not really appropriate when you are paying a commercial rent.

Awesome beach holiday in Foxten
A wonderful holoday house, a great stay pre-christmas before the holiday buzz took off. Dianne and Riley were great hosts and prompt with their responses back to our inquiries. Their Foxten Beach home was a lovely and relaxing place to unwind and forget the city life. Playground close by for our little 4 year old including tennis and netball courts and a flying fox, bonus! Lovely natural nature reserves close by and the beach very accessible. A lovely walk there over sand dunes for kids. Cafes and local shops close by were good to get brunch or a coffee after a nice walk along the beach. Highly reccimend staying there.

We had a enjoyable stay there. The only suggestions would be to have the fire going for arrival. Warmer is more inviting and homely. Great overall, thankyou very much

The house was great. Had the space we needed and location was good, across from the park and close to the beach. As we were visiting from Australia at Christmas time Dianne was very helpful with our additional requests to assist making our travel easier. Lots of detailed info provided about the house and local area.

Relaxing Getaway
A nice place for a getaway. Has everything you need except WiFi. Two living spaces to enjoy plus a deck. Across the road from the playground/bike track. Short walk to sand dunes/estuary. The swimming beach isn't too far away either and is excellent for families. We stayed for four nights and got the chance to settle in. Would definitely stay again!
