About this property

Pineapple Palace Studio: tranquil, tropical, quiet, walk to town

Set in a very tranquil part of Raglan - but walking distance to town, you'll only hear the Pukekos calling at night and luxuriate on the deck under the expansive starscape.

Relax in your self-contained studio with a comfortable queen bed, large bathroom with shower and toilet, well appointed kitchenette with ample bench space and good sized fridge.

If you need extra space for a couple of kids or friends we have a separate bunkroom available by arrangement, warm and cosy.

Wander through the shared, lush gardens, take a short walk into town and cool off in the outdoor shower after a hard day at the beach. Cruiser bikes for popping into town and an inflatable double kayak are available too. Welcome!

Pineapple Palace was just what we need after a long day driving. Special mention about how environmentally friendly this room was. There was very little plastic, bedding was wool and cotton and all products were plant based. The bed was very comfortable, all communication was clear and quick. Thanks we enjoyed our stay.

Amazing little getaway

Hine was amazing to deal with, the place was beautiful and the view was stunning. She answered my queries promptly and was accommodative for my stay. It’s a beautiful little gem in raglan quite secluded surrounded by serene bush and water views. The blender was amazing to use especially on the hot summers day with fruits from the local mart and frozen berries to keep it lovely and cold. Everything was in working order, the bathroom smelt luxurious, we actually forgot soap but a beautiful aroma filled soap was their packaged for us to use. Check in was brisk free as well as checkout. Amazing service and would definitely recommend. P.s. bring fruits for your berryluciius fruit drink.

Not what we expected.

There are 2 units. The front unit is the superior one with private deck and view - lovely. The back one (the one we got) has neither. Ask which one you are getting, because this was not advised on the listing. Also the access way is awkward and hazardous - dont hit your head on the roof corner. In saying this, our unit was very nice inside. But as we had no privacy we kept our door closed, and there was no air-con.

About the host

Hosted by JohnWatson

Host profile image
Originally from Auckland, I've made Raglan my home and enjoy helping guests find the best possible experiences and eateries in Whaingaroa.

Why they chose this property

The Studios are walking distance to town, but are nestled in their own private area, which is very quiet and safe with a great view overlooking a reserve.

What makes this property unique

The Studio has a deck with a view overlooking the tropical gardens, space to wander amongst the banana trees and we are doing a native re-vegetation project in the Reserve with the local Community to bring the birds right in to the garden and surrounds.
