About this property
Close to the Beach and Town
About our house
This recently renovated character filled house consists of 3 well sized bedrooms, one being a kids room with bunks. With a new kitchen and bathroom you can enjoy a fresh, beautiful surrounding whilst also getting a taste of a relaxed, bach vibe (though this is our home).
It is a good spot for a family or friends with a private, fenced deck area that gets bathed in the late afternoon light. It is a perfect spot for kids with toys and a sand pit.
The location is excellent with easy access to town, parks and the waters' edge not to mention a killer coffee, slice of pizza and gelato 2 minutes walk away.
Nb. The house is best suited to 6 people, including children. We may not accept a booking for 6 adults.
About our town
Raglan has it all, from quirky shops selling great clothes, vintage items, NZ art and crafts, plenty of great cafes (the best of which is dangerously close at 2m walk away) and restaurants, world class fish and chips and that's even before you get started on the outdoor activities! There's world class surf, beautiful ocean and harbour beaches, excellent kite boarding areas, mountain biking, bmx track, an awesome skate park and much more that we can help you discover!
Extras: Linen (included)

Great location (right by Raglan Roast food department over bridge), lovely wee house with everything
Great location (right by Raglan Roast food department over bridge), lovely wee house with everything we needed - great area on the deck for dinners over summer. Worked perfectly with the nursery & even a sandpit too! Thanks for having us.

Trendy cute cottage!
We loved our stay at Lucy & Ru’s house. Ideal for children. Lucy & Ru were fantastic host, even offering fresh fruit & veggies from their garden. Good location, easy walk to estuary and town. We loved Raglan and hope to be back in the near future.

Loved our stay. Was perfect for our family of four. The fireplace was so cozy. Comfortable beds and we loved the toys for the kids. Thank you. Was hard to leave actually. We would love to return.
