Seabury Lookout – Elevated Bach Living with Expansive Outlooks | House in Foxton Beach

Seabury Lookout is a classic Kiwi bach perched high above the coast, with sweeping views from estuary to ranges. Cosy, relaxed, and full of charm - it’s the perfect place to unwind, explore, and soak in the scenery.
Once the original Postmaster’s house, this classic Kiwi bach blends character with comfort. Perched high on the hill, it captures sweeping views in every direction. Start your day with coffee overlooking the estuary and the Tararua Ranges, then wind down in the evening with a glass of wine as the sun sets over farmland and the community below.
Inside, it’s easy, relaxed holiday living. The main lounge offers generous seating and a wood burner for cosy winter nights, while a separate kids’ lounge with its own TV gives everyone space to unwind. Bedrooms are simple and restful, and the spacious bathroom includes a bath, shower over bath, and separate toilet. For slower moments, you’ll find puzzles, board games, and the latest NZ House & Garden magazines ready to enjoy. With partial double glazing in the bedrooms and lounge, the house stays warm and snug - perfect for curling up with a good book.
The deck is a favourite gathering spot, complete with built-in picnic seating, shade umbrella, and gated access for peace of mind with children. As evening falls, the settlement lights begin to twinkle and the sky opens up to a blanket of stars.
Adventure and local charm are right on your doorstep. Beat the fuel surges as you can grab legendary fish and chips from Mr Grumpy’s 400m away, or stroll to the Ninja Cafe 100M further on or beach for swimming, fishing, kite surfing, surfing or white baiting in season. The estuary is even closer-just a short walk from the house as is the fantastic playground (with skate ramps, flying fox, tennis courts (basic racquets, BYO balls and more) to keep the kids entertained, some of it visible right from the lounge and bedrooms.
Take a walk or bike ride into Foxton to explore its iconic windmill, quirky museums, vibrant murals, and a great selection of cafés and local shops. Book lovers shouldn’t miss Mewington’s Bookshop, while seasonal highlights include fresh produce at Lewis Farms. For those wanting more activity, a short drive away there’s golf at Foxton Golf Club, wakeboarding at Off The Loop in season, and a range of local markets and events throughout the year.
Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a couples’ retreat, or a laid-back trip with friends, Seabury Lookout offers a genuine Kiwi bach experience in a setting that guests return to again and again.
