Didn't quite realize what a calm and beautiful retreat this rental was going to be. Access to the walking track and bush/garden views were just fab. Bed very comfortable. Had everything we needed (once we figured out how to turn the hot water on outside)

Totz loved the view from the deck, oh and the abundant peaceful garden and the walkway! a stones throw away through the garden. Loved this awesome lil paradise getaway. Kataraina xoxo
We had our reservations upon booking but boy were we wrong! This place is a real treasure, immaculately clean, extremely private and quiet and the host is fantastic. Although it's a few minutes walk out of the town centre, it never bothered us. The walk was welcomed and it made us slow down and relax into Raglan time!
Relaxation and quiet in tranquil bush setting. Close to town and ease of walking around - brilliant!
Lovely spot amidst a calming garden and with a very kind hostess. We were very comfortable and able to relax in this perfect location. Thank you to lovely Sue.
Sue's place was just how I imagined it...quiet, restful, amongst trees with a tranquil water view. My husband and I enjoyed this peaceful retreat which was also conveniently close to town. Thank you to Sue for a lovely stay :)
This property was just what I wanted: within walking distance to centre of Raglan and a quiet place to unwind. The bush garden with views of the estuary provided the perfect environment for relaxation. The property was well presented and the owner very helpful.
I would definitely stay again if in the area.
