Pleasant surprise

Didn't quite realize what a calm and beautiful retreat this rental was going to be. Access to the walking track and bush/garden views were just fab. Bed very comfortable. Had everything we needed (once we figured out how to turn the hot water on outside)

What a find!

We had our reservations upon booking but boy were we wrong! This place is a real treasure, immaculately clean, extremely private and quiet and the host is fantastic. Although it's a few minutes walk out of the town centre, it never bothered us. The walk was welcomed and it made us slow down and relax into Raglan time!

Perfect Getaway

This property was just what I wanted: within walking distance to centre of Raglan and a quiet place to unwind. The bush garden with views of the estuary provided the perfect environment for relaxation. The property was well presented and the owner very helpful. I would definitely stay again if in the area.

Loved our visit to Raglan and Sue made us feel so welcome. This wee place is perfect for a peaceful getaway. Located in a tranquil setting that offers estuary views through the trees and bush. Guests will love the feeling of being tucked away yet so close to the township!

Peaceful weekend retreat...

Our weekend in Raglan lived up to its promise. The location was secluded and quiet and the accommodation itself was comfortable and ideal. We were met on arrival and made to feel very welcome throughout our stay. It was only a short walk to the centre of Raglan and the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Great location, very friendly owner

Loved the place - in a great location close to town (easy walking distance), but surrounded by bush and garden to create a lovely atmosphere. The place was very clean, tidy and had everything you needed. Sue was a lovely host, very friendly and around for any questions you had. Would highly recommend staying here :)
