Raglan Girls

Fantastic situation nestled against native bush with amazing views over the ocean. The bach is quite rustic but tidy and comfortable. Basically my dream cottage and location. I just didn't like the big furry spiders in the cobwebs, nor the big ones running around the bathroom....yikes!

Review

Property was a lovely kiwi bach, just what I'd love to live in. Simple, clean by the sea. The area (Raglan town) was quiet but friendly and welcoming. We didn"t do much walking or exploring outside as weather was terrible. This didn't stop us enjoying our stay. I would like to thankyou for the loan of your lovely bach. Fiona & Julie.

Serene spot in the bush

Toni was easily contactable regarding any issues, the cabin was very tranquil and private. It suited us perfectly. The drive into town was under 10 minutes, so we got to enjoy all the wonderful things that Raglan has to offer. The large bed downstairs was comfortable.
