Beautiful old home with lots of character, and a great view, but the property has seen better days. The day of checking in, I received a message to say the outside rooms needs new piles and therefore the room is on a lean, but okay to stay in. I didn't realise one of the bedrooms was an outside room - my mistake for not noticing this information, or doing the research to see that information didn't transfer from one booking site to this one. We ended up just sharing a room, so we were all inside as I was with two mature woman and a young child. A large basket of washing was left on the deck. When I asked what to do with it, I did get a sincere apology but no instructions on what to do with it. I moved it inside so that it didn't get left in potential rain over the weekend. Upon check in, there were ants on the windowsill which I believe had come from outside. I sprayed them and wiped them up. There was also no soap in the dispenser in the bathroom. We ended up swapping the soap from the kitchen as I couldn't see any others in the cupboards. Great location. Great views. House needs some love but has lots of potential. Just not quite what I was expecting for how much we paid.

Location was good for walking although noisy next to the main road into raglan. Unfortunately found 3 cockroaches through the house . So definitely needs attending too. The house definitely needs a lot of work and although it was tidy, some furniture needs replacing as it’s seen better days. It was a bit cold during the night (Oct) so wouldn’t stay in winter, and would suggest putting on the duvets in the cupboards and using the heaters. Lovely views and the sun streams in, in the afternoon which is nice. Also there was no information about the tv and how to use (remotes etc). There was no basic tv and only YouTube which is a parents worst nightmare. This defiantly needs to be addressed.

We enjoyed the view from the deck and sitting room, the cottage is close to the township and has easy off road parking, plenty of beds for a large family if needed. Instructions easy to follow on how to get into the property. Thank you for the body wash at the sinks and in the shower a lovely touch. I should have thought that the addition of a fan or two might be helpful in the hot weather or even a heat pump. An insect spray might also be helpful. An array of tea, coffee, little packet sugars are always welcome, salt and pepper are usually staples in accommodation I have utilised in the past. Even continental breakfast cereals with a small half litre of milk have been provided.

Sunnynook the gem
I organised this stay as my elderly parents 89 years olds spent time in Raglan as youngsters and it held such fond memories.I have a chocolate lab so required pet friendly accommodation.Sunnynook exceeded expectations. It’s an absolute gem. Well appointed only a stroll from all the eateries and shops. A 5 minute walk to the waters edge. This property had everything you could possibly need. The facilities were clean and very comfortable. The host was incredibly accommodating.We are already planning another stay.I can’t recommend this quintessential kiwi cottage highly enough.Claudine

Quirky and gorgeous!
We loved our stay here! I can see the place may not be the best in winter (it is an old house), but it was a delight to stay here in summer. The living room was big and comfortable, with amazing views across the estuary and to the hills. The beds were comfy and cosy, and the bathroom (with washer and dryer) was grand.The kitchen had lots of plates and bowls and everything you'd need to call this home for a holiday.The deck is glorious! Sitting at the table drinking beer in the sun, with the parasol up for shade, was the most perfect first evening. The house is up the hill enough to get great views but still close to the shops and town.Now to the quirks! The lights took some getting used to as the kitchen lights are on strings from the bulbs – so it's a bit tricky in the dark. The light in the bunk room is also on a string...which we had to extend for my short mother. Which was pretty funny, I admit! A couple of floors are a bit wonky and some windows are a little stiff to open – if you're seeking sleek and shiny perfection, this place ain't for you. If you want a house that feels homely, welcoming and comfortable, that looks charming (and great in photos) and that's a pleasure to return to at the end of the day, this is a winner.

Fabulous Spot
Sunny nook is a fabulous place to stay. The accommodation is perfectly bach-like, so comfortable with tasteful furnishings and lovely linen. The views over Raglan Harbour are beautiful and its location next to town makes for easy access to all amenities. I felt instantly relaxed the moment i arrived and it easily accommodated our family with teenagers. I look forward to going back.
