Fantastic Foxton
The bach was very tidy and great for relaxing. We discovered the Manawatu estuary was hosting the Bar Tailed Godwits and they were a nice walk away, so we ventured out there three days, and they got closer and closer. Comfy beds, modern facilities, lovely new carpet and room for soccer on the front lawn. Great location and well priced. Highly recommended. Jeff very easy to connect with and a great host.
