Rose Cottage get-away, Foxton Beach

This is your get-away bach. You can get away from the bustle of your life, your stressful jobs and the noise. It's pretty darn quiet here. And at night the sky is dark so the stars shine. You can also get to experience the extra warmth and sunshine Foxton Beach has to offer. In winter you can snuggle under the colourful quilts, snooze in the comfy beds, and relish the heat from heaters in every room. In summer you can sit out on the veranda (in the shade, and out of the prevailing wind) to watch the world go by. Deck chairs are stored in the garage.

Walk to the beach in five minutes or drive in one. It's a fabulous wide beach at low tide for short and long walks; awesome for swimming and boogie boarding when the surf patrol is out; and sliding down sand dunes when the water isn't warm enough for you.

A full kitchen so you can cook for yourself if you want, a bread-maker to bake that fresh loaf for the morning, or just walk 50 metres to the Ocean Beach Eatery for whatever you fancy. A garage full of toys for the adults and kids (bikes (two adult, two children - 5/6 years and 7/8 years) and boogie boards, games), and reading books, magazines for young and old to while-away the hours. For infants there is a portacot (and sheets/blankets).

Sit out on the verandah to take in the views of the park and swings across the road. Go tadpoling or duck feeding; BMXing or cycle-skills riding; forest or beach walking; tennis, skate-boarding or scooting: All less than five minutes walk away. There is no TV but there is free WIFI. There is good cellphone coverage in Foxton Beach.

Special conditions:
Back section is fully fenced. Smoking outside only please. Pets on request. Well set up for couples and families alike. Just to be clear, there is no TV. No long term rentals, prices as indicated. There is a security camera facing to the front section of the property.

Your basic wonderful little kiwi-style bach in that beautiful classic style. Just a few steps away from a great restaurant, and just a few more steps away from the beach, it was a great place to stay, and would heartily recommend it to anyone.

Clear instructions, a nice place to stay. Warm, well stocked. There were quite a few ants when we arrived feasting on a large dead spider in the living area but otherwise it was tidy. Great place for a weekend away

Well worth a visit

Great location set up high overlooking a park. Short walk to a corner Cafe and if theyre closed for the early bird walkers, there's another coffee shop open at the top of the road on the way to the sea. Well recommend and will be staying again next time visit from Central Queensland
