Overview
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.

From beginning to end the service was outstanding. It was more than a place to stay. It became a unique experience where we were welcomed so warmly. The thoughtfulness is something that went above and beyond. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the room and the quality of the facilities. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Not a huge motel, with only 7 units. It's also semi rural, so really quiet. Only a few minutes by car to Foxton main shopping area and cafes and about 10mins drive to Foxton Beach.. Good sized double bdrm, lounge, dining area, plus a smaller area with 2 single beds. Loved the personal touches, the free cookies and chocolate provided, plus free milk and an offer to help carry in our bags. Very very clean and modern units. Lovely owner, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. Very customer focussed. Good size free parking area right outside each unit. Small outdoor table and chairs provided for each unit.

This property was way more than we expected. The host was welcoming and very hospitable, the room was immaculately clean, fresh, modern appliances, great bedding, some wee treats we were encouraged to enjoy. It all made for a great stay - we’ll be back!
