About this property

A Cosy Bach in the heart of Raglan, 'WHARE AROHA'<br>Check in 2pm<br>Check out 11am.

'Whare Aroha'...'Love Shack'... is a warm, comfortable little bach you will surely enjoy for a weekend getaway or longer stay,
It is situated right in the heart of Raglan in Bankart St, behind the Town Hall. Located at the rear of another little "love shack' on the property, 'Whare Aroha' is private even though you are right in town. The Four Square Supermarket is conveniently located right next door.

Once you park your car, which you can do right next to the deck of the Bach, you are only a few steps from all Raglans fantastic shops, cafes, entertainment venues and harbour. Walk out the gate behind the Bach and you are in the Main Street of Raglan Village. Enjoy your days activities and then a night out on the town and you don't have to worry about driving home...just 'wander'.

Your can drive your car up the driveway and park right next to the deck. There is enough room to park another car behind. For some quick shopping supplies you can pop right next door to the new 'Four Square' Supermarket. Open from 6am-9pm Monday -Sunday.

Our cosy bach has 1 queen bedroom, 1 queen 'loft bed' and a single day bed underneath the loft bed in the living area.
The loft is only suitable for older children as it is accessed by a ladder and small children could fall.

With no TV or internet, the entertainment is all up to you. Pop your IPOD in the IPOD dock and have a barbeque on the covered deck or read a book in the hammock. Or just wander to one of the fabulous cafes, bars or restaurants or buy some fish and chips and walk down to the harbour to enjoy the sunset.

Surfing, hang gliding, paragliding, kite surfing, blowcarting on the beach, horse riding, fishing, kayaking, sunset boat cruises, golf, walks, great coffee, fabulous food, funky shops, the old Harbour View Hotel, Yot Club, Orca, Marlin Cafe and Bar for your beverage delights as well as delicious food.....plus so much more.........................

Come and enjoy 'Whare Aroha' and the delights of Raglan you won't be disappointed.

Cheers.
Jill and Mick
Special conditions:
The loft bed is not suitable for young children.

Smoking is allowed outside on the deck.

If you use the barbeque, please leave it clean. We would really appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Really handy location, next to 4 square and 100m from cafes and restaurants. Not on the road so really quiet. The house itself has everything including cheerful decor and a great all-weather deck with hammocks. I'll definitely be back.

Perfect spot!! Loved our stay!!

Thank you so much Jillian and Mick for letting us stay in your beautiful Whare Aroha! We absolutely loved our stay and the kids had a ball! Our eldest loved the loft bed! And being so close to town and the harbour and skatepark we enjoyed being able to entertain the kids with a quick pushbike ride to get there in only minutes! Definately recommend this wee gem.

Perfect spot to experience Raglan

We had a lovely time. The space is beautiful and had everything we needed. It was cozy and felt tucked away but also right in the muddle of the town. Loved the hammocks! And we were very grateful to be able to have our furry boy with us.
