Currently, one of the main attractions of the village is the Flax Stripper Museum. Another important attraction is the Molen Windmill, an exact replica of a seventeenth-century Dutch flour mill, which is in operation.

The nearby estuary and wetland of the Manawatu River have international ornithological importance and RAMSAR status; perhaps, you will come across a platalea regia. Foxton Beach is popular for swimming, surfing and fishing.
