About this property

Government House • Spa • Comfort • Views

This beautiful property has it all. Fresh interiors, modern kitchen, expansive elevated decks & a Spa Pool! But what really sets this home apart are the stunning vistas. Enjoy harbour views to the north and Mt Karioi to the West.

Relish all that Raglan has to offer from this gorgeous oasis. Just an 8-min stroll to Cox Bay or a 10-min comfortable walk to Lorenzen Bay.

Beautifully designed to make the most of the spectacular views, this two-story home has a flexible layout to suit a variety of families and groups.

The property comfortably sleeps eight. There are four spacious bedrooms: Master Bedroom with a queen bed and Bedroom 2 with 2x single beds upstairs. Downstairs is Bedroom 3 with a queen bed. Bedroom 4 is accessed via the garage and has a king single bed and pull out single trundler bed. The master bedroom upstairs opens onto a sunny deck area where you can watch the stunning sunrises with your morning cuppa.

Both levels have their own fully equipped bathrooms. And you have a choice of relaxing living spaces to enjoy with one upstairs and another downstairs, each with smart TVs. A wood-burning fireplace in the upstairs living area completes the warm, welcoming ambience.

The modern kitchen is an entertainer’s delight. Beautifully designed, the kitchen includes a walk-in pantry, dishwasher, and soft close drawers.

You can cook up a storm with the induction cooktop and built-in oven, or BBQ on the deck. Then retreat to the outdoor entertaining spaces with uninterrupted, superb views to share your meal with friends and family.

And there’s a choice of outdoor spaces to enjoy. Select from the upstairs elevated deck area complete with glass balustrades to make the most of the scenery. Alternatively, why not relax in the tranquil garden area downstairs. Picture yourself chilling out in the Cape Cod chairs or the private spa pool. Add in a chilled glass of Sauv, and it doesn’t get much better than that.

This perfect home has its own private nature walk through native bush. Enjoy the peace and quiet, interrupted only by the native birdsong. Time it right, and you could even pick some yummy feijoas, or juicy citrus fruit to garnish your G&T.

The flexible layout and chilled vibes of this beach retreat make it perfect for family fun. And with two storeys, it’s the ideal choice for extended families holidaying together.

All Groundswell Properties include: Linen, towels, toiletries (shampoo, body wash, soap), tea, coffee, milk, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher powder, laundry powder, firewood and gas for BBQ.

Plus exclusive Groundswell Property guest discounts with local Raglan Businesses - full details on our Groundswell Property website.

We are available via phone, email or text and happy to assist at all times.

Raglan has something for everyone. And this home is ideally located to explore the local area.

Surfers will love the big waves at world-famous Manu Bay. Nearby Cox Bay (8-minute walk) and Lorenzen Bay (10-minute walk) are great spots for swimming, kayaking and body boarding or just relaxing in the sunshine. You may even get lucky and spot one of the orcas that regularly come to visit the bays.

Also on offer in Raglan is fantastic bushwalking, golf, mini putt and, of course, plenty of fishing.

The vibrant café and arts scene in Raglan township is just a short drive away. There’s a wealth of delicious dining options to choose from, along with specialist arts and crafts shops to explore. Also within easy reach are the supermarket and shopping facilities.

Do as much or as little as you want – the choice is yours. Raglan is a fantastic holiday destination any time of year.
