About this property
Celtic Motel is nestled in amongst the sunny Horowhenua township of Foxton, giving it a hint of 'country' and ensuring it is very peaceful and quiet, yet it is conveniently situated just 400m off SH 1. This comfortable Foxton gem in the beautiful lower west coast of the North Island is where friendly hospitality is guaranteed. We are only 1.5km from all the amenities to be found at the Foxton town centre, and just a 10-minute drive to Foxton Beach and the Manawatu River estuary, a wetland of international importance. Nature abounds around Foxton with endless outdoor experiences including walkways, cycleways and tramping tracks in the Tararua Forest Park. We are the ideal place to stay if you are catching the Interisland ferry and it is just a 30-minute drive to Palmerston North.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.
