We had a lovely relaxed stay. We appreciated the ease and simplicity of the property. It was clean, tidy, and had everything we needed for a couple of nights away. The location close to town was fantastic and the sunset views were amazing. Would stay again :-)
My partner and I loved waking up and looking out over Raglan and the ocean beyond as the sun came up, then wandering down for a coffee and bite to eat in the township (it's a gorgeous five minute walk), then cosying up all afternoon on the couches and enjoying a BBQ for dinner.
The perfect spot for a weekend getaway while staying in the cool spot of the town.
We had a great stay. Such beautiful views. We found it a little tough to plan and check out bookings with the lack of wifi. Also the pull out beds in the living room area were really uncomfortable for our children. Apart from that it was a beautiful Bach.
Great view, but lacking amenities (as listed), expensive
Beautiful location and view, short walk to the cute town of Raglan and its dining options. For the cost, the lack of basic amenities usually found in an VRBO was disappointing (no wifi, microwave (or oven) made it feel like we were overcharged for the space.
We walked in and the views blew us away. We could see the beach, parts of the township and felt like we genuinely scored the best place to stay! Location is excellent & township literally only a few minutes walk away (downhill). There’s a cute little gallery a few metres from driveway (opposite side of road). It’s a peaceful getaway & we enjoyed our time here. Hosts are friendly and live in house next to Bach but this wasn’t an issue at all.
Loved that we could just walk into town in minutes but still were up high to experience the amazing view and sunsets! Very clean and tidy, and great hosts. Thank you!
This property was exactly as advertised. Beautiful , enormous windows that provided a gorgeous outlook over the water. Quick walk/drive to town, with a lot more than we had expected to be on offer. The property was incredibly serene, and whilst the neighbours are close, you never felt like they were 'in your buisness'. I would absolutely recommend this property to all couples looking for a getaway.
Very minimalist but everything you need to unwind with a partner. The views are stunning and the walk to town is easier than finding a park. Will be back.
