Welcome to Seabury Lookout – your cosy coastal getaway! Once the original Postmaster’s house, our bach blends history with comfort. Perched high on the hill, you’ll love sipping your morning coffee (or evening wine) on either side of the bach; the estuary, and the mighty Tararua Ranges or the sunny deck while taking in views of farmland and the settlement. Inside, it’s classic Kiwi holiday living. The main lounge has plenty of seating and a roaring fire for winter evenings, while the separate kids’ lounge with additional TV keeps little ones entertained. Bedrooms are simple, restful spaces and the bathroom is spacious with a bath/shower and separate loo. We’ve stocked up on puzzles, board games, and the latest NZ House & Garden mags for those slower holiday moments. Half the home now has double glazing, making it extra snug on cooler nights. The deck is a favourite hangout — with built-in picnic seating, an umbrella for shade, and gates to keep kids safe. When the sun sets, the village lights sparkle and the night sky fills with stars. Adventure is right on your doorstep! 5 minutes to Mr Grumpy’s for legendary fish & chips 🍟 A short stroll to the beach for swimming, fishing, or white baiting (in season). An even closer walk to the worldclass estuary a few minutes walk away. Watch the kids at the amazing nearby playground (think skate ramps, flying fox, tennis courts, basketball hoops, and more) — some visible from the lounge and bedrooms! Walk or cycle into historic Foxton to explore its working windmill, quirky museum, murals, a fantastic bookstore, a range of cute shops to explore and a choice of fabulous cafés. Tee off at Foxton Golf Club, try wakeboarding, or head to local markets and events. There's something for everyone in the Horowhenua! Whether you’re after a family-friendly base, a cosy couples’ escape, or a laid-back group getaway, Seabury Lookout has been delighting guests for many years. Your Kiwi holiday awaits! 🌊✨ 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) and leave as you found it. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Smoking outside only.

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! ##### Janine P.

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. ##### C J A.

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. ##### Christine H.
