About this cottage rental

Positioned in a sleepy beach cul-de-sac you will find 'The Smurf Shack' - This property is all about family fun and relaxation! A perfect escape back to those sepia memories of yesteryear. Consists of 2 bedrooms inside and a sleep out at the end of the garden. Covered outside lounge (with lighting and heater), sheltered alfresco dining deck with Weber BBQ and outside games, a garage w fridge, outside tiki bar/sandpit all on a large fully fenced and landscaped section perfect for kids, the dog, and family fun.

Fresh linen, duvets, pillows and towels are provided for all guests.

The space
The Bach is petite in size but big in character. Funky decor, fully double glazed in the Bach, insulated in walls and a new heatpump/aircon. Is was important to us that the bach still has an authentic kiwiana bach feeling while having all the modern conveniences that we need these days. There is wifi and a smart TV meaning you can stay connected and work remotely as required.

Bedroom layout:
The Bach includes a Queen bed in the main bedroom, and a bunk bed in the second bedroom (double on the bottom and a single on the top). There is also a sleepout at the back of the garden which contains a double bed and heater. Please refer to the floor plan provided in the photos.

Fully fenced for children and dog (please ask first, (no cats allowed) and the outside entertaining area and garden is very private and a great place to work or unwind.
Kids? Foxton Beach school and playground is right next door. There is a porter cot, high chair and even a pram in the garage. There are also some bikes for the kids and beach toys and beach towels.
Guest access
Guests enjoy use of the whole property (minus the Caravan) which is currently being renovated.

We loved our holiday here. The outside covered area is an awesome space, and lovely garden. Was perfect for our little dog. Also enjoyed the air con on the hot days.
