About this property

Modern home, great harbour views, also 3 bedroom lodge.

Modern 4 bd home sleeps 9, the house comprises of 3 bedrooms with a queen , 1 bedroom with a single over double bunk (also included is the 3 bedroom lodge!, lodge sleeps 8 plus.
The lodge comprises of 1 bedroom with a queen , 2 bedrooms with a single over double bunk , also sofa beds .

Perfect for team building /conferences, also GST registered ..Great harbour views, including the 'heads', especially from rooftop deck. Deck has new gazebo to lay in and star gaze, with Indonesian statues around house, lower covered deck off the bedrooms, including hammocks, cafe setting and large gas bbq...spa pool (DURING WINTER MONTHS ONLY)
Ample parking for up to 3-4 cars. room for a boat and trailer beside the house too .
Many world famous surf spots/kite surfing within a 5 min drive, including surf/swimming beach, with its own life guards, fun for all the family!
10-15 mins stroll to newly developed harbour, inc. cafes, pottery shops etc also only 300m to water if kayaking is your thing.
Warm relaxing vibe to the north facing house, with sun from dawn to dusk.
If relaxing at home is your thing there is always Sky tv with movies and sports channels or surf the net with free WiFi! Not to mention the hammocks under the pergola.
10-15 min walk to central Raglan.
Option to rent surfboards, boogie boards, mtb's, kayak and linen ($15 per person) if you forget it :)

The new Surfer's Lodge on the ground floor , sleeps up to 8 + people, and can be easily accessed from the house on the first floor . That also has its own Sky decoder, free WiFi and all other amenities.....this gives all your guests options, to watch a different TV channel , or quieter spot or so ?..
The Lodge is sound proofed and quite separate from the primary house, but with a few adjustments it can be easily accessed. Just ask, as I'm sure this would suit sports teams or large family gatherings, ( also I'm GST registered ,for businesses )
Two night minimum stay for weekends.
This house is a beautiful, open plan modern house and I encourage you to appreciate all that it offers. However, I do NOT want it used as a 'PARTY HOUSE', ,( NO bucks or hens nights) ,please do NOT request a booking if that's your intention.

Our group of 7 friends had a fabulous stay at this spacious property. We had a bedroom each spread over two floors, with all but one happy with the comfort level of the mattress. The kitchen was spacious and easy to work in and the three bathrooms were a bonus. Doug was very accommodating with our last minute changes in numbers and a request for early check in. We would definitely stay again.

The property was great for our family group including 6 little ones under 7. Lodge is actually under main house with internal stairs so no problem with security when they were sleeping & we were upstairs. Plenty of heaters including in the bedrooms (but we didn't really need them). Great open plan area for us all to hang out, roof top deck pretty cool too. Didn't notice a sound system, but we had a mini speaker so could play music.

Outstanding Property!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property, it was spacious, clean and very well equipped! The separate lodge downstairs is also a great feature. A great location and amazing views and only a short distance to the town centre. Communication with the host was fast and efficient and very helpful. We will definitely be staying here again and I would highly recommend this property!

Awesome house with lots of space!

We stayed with 3 couples and 3 guys as a big catch up of old mates. The house was excellent! Plenty of room for all 9 of us to chill in the lounge. The view from the roof is spectacular! Plenty of bathrooms and the downstairs area is nice and private. The kitchen is well stocked and the BBQ is great. Would stay again!

Enjoyable but wouldn’t return

Great property size with enough room for our annual family trip. Warm and in a good location. Property felt a bit tired. Reasonably dirty (old undies and a lots of dust between the washing machine and wall, dirty skirtings) and could do with a deep clean. We had a lovely weekend but probably wouldn’t return.
