Reviews
First time to Foxton and we were not aware of the Windmill. This Dutch replica Windmill is worth the time to visit and learn of the mechanisms. A family operated Windmill. The visit to the top and see the mechanisms cost $3 per person or $10 for family of 4.
De Molen windmill is a fully functioning replica of a traditional Dutch windmill built in Foxton in 2002. Climb the stairs halfway to the top for a unique experience. Try playing some traditional Dutch castle games made out of wood and enjoy the view in every direction from the second floor balcony. We were delighted to be inside when the windmill started up and could watch the intricate cogs and pulleys working on several levels. We bought some flour milled there just this week to make our own bread at home. Highly recommended as a place to visit and explore when you’re in Foxton.
THE place to visit in Foxton, other than the nearby beach. The adjacent museum is also amazing. The shop on the ground floor has a good selection of Dutch items. The windmill is active and you can buy its flour but it'll cost you!, and the floors upstairs are the best part and great for kids.
A wonderful choice of Dutch cheese made in Holland along with some made in NZ using Dutch recipes. Olives are beautiful my choice is the chili. You also have Dutch foods, licorice, biscuits and the like so many things to look at not to Mention the wonderful windmill. Staff lovely and helpful. I go each time I'm in Foxton but if you are just passing through its worth Stop
Flipping Fantastic Flourmill in Foxton Totally worth a visit & the climb to the top, the view is Fabulous - go on it is good for you! The design & build is a real credit to Foxton, a Fantastic piece of ingenuity See Sandra in the Mill Shop she is the perfect ambassador! Happy Helpful & full of info, recipes & knows her stock! Enjoy!
Fascinating place with excellent Dutch groceries for sale
Beautiful place in Foxton with a touch of Dutch history. The cafe here is great as well!
What an experience - both entertaining and informational. This was my first time in a windmill and it was awesome. The best part was knowing that this is a working mill. At the ground floor is the information centre and shop where you can buy milled flour and other goodies. The ladies were great and very friendly. I arrived at a quiet time so was exploring by myself. As the windmill was not operating when I visited, I was able to walk all around the balcony. And the balcony provided some very excellent views. It was a real experience being able to walk between the different floors and view the various equipment that was required for milling the flour.
We went up inside the windmill for the first time and even though both my wife and I are Dutch, we have never been inside a windmill like that. We got a great tour and bought stollen for Christmas as well. Highly recommended visiting this place.
Not that well sign posted but just look up and you will see the windmill blades. It is well worth the three minute detour off the main road and with two good cafes nearby it is a good place to stop on a road trip. Children who are used to everything being automated will be intrigued to see how many levers work most functions in this fully operational flour mill. You could easily spend an hour here and the $2 entrance fee is great value for money. You do need to be able to climb three flights of steep stairs and come down backwards for safety, as you would on a boat. The handrails on each side make it easy but it is not suitable for the disabled. There is a dutch themed shop on the ground floor and printed information about its history which is quite recent.
