Stayed Jul 10, 2025Property was just as described and the owners were amazing hosts. Especially loved the hand drawn map of the property, with instructions on how to reach the beach via the nature track.The cottage has the most wonderful views and it was lovely to wake up to the sound of nature (ocean and birds).Close to the main town of Raglan and the exceptional cafes and eateries.Lots of nature based explorations to be had on the property and around Raglan.I cannot thank the property owners enough for a chance to stay at this idyllic property.If I am ever back in Raglan, I would book again in a heartbeat!

Stayed May 31, 2025Absolutely stunning view, private and secluded area, close to all amenities and beach access. Host was accommodating, and communication was nice and easy. My one and only complaint would be the driveway, driveway is steep and gravel, we skidded a few times when exiting the driveway as it was wet, the host did mention they plan on doing some work with the driveway. Apart from that, the place was perfect and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Thank you for sharing your cottage

Stayed Sep 18, 2024We spent two nights here, with lots of rain, and thunder. The cottage was very clean, warm and cosy. We managed to walk down to the beach, but after the rain it was quite slippery.
