Glen Murray Vacation Rentals

"This resort has the potential to be 5-star if they can get their “front of house” figured out. First - the room and general accommodations, location and beach access are amazing. Here’s where they lose points - you cannot get around the grounds on foot - the reception is half way up the hill, and once u check in you have to park at the very top (which gets locked at 7pm) and the meet you with valet golf cart service - which at first seemed great, until we found out it wasn’t unlimited service. We did get cart service to our reservation for dinner and the wait staff arranged pick up and return to our room - there were a few folks waiting who hadn’t prearranged this. The return back in the dark, very windy cart paths were, at times, a bit scary. But the driver was courteous and safe. The check out is at 11! Which we thought was awesome bc our room included bfast so we planned to go eat around 830 then spend an hour leisurely packing up with one last coffee on our deck (with award winning views!) but NO. We were informed that we could only get cart service to our car and we would have to drive to bfast - so here’s the thing - you can’t (like ur not allowed) walk from the parking back to the rooms - and honestly u wouldn’t want to - it’s steep and designed for the carts. Customer service - apart from the cart drivers - was lacking, young likely poorly trained staff seemed relatively disinterested in providing the advertised 5-star service But - the potential is def there."

"I am hiking a section of the Te Araroa trail from Auckland to Hamilton and came across Heavens Rest as a logistical stop. I stayed in a 1 bedroom cottage and couldn’t have been more impressed with the tranquility after a long hike, comfy bed and fridge filled with juice, fresh milk, eggs, bread and yogurt. Robert even drove me back to the trail in the morning - highly recommend "

"Clean and quiet."

"Room and stay was good, no guest Laundry for longer term stays"

"Well-located in the Main Street of Raglan, Harbourview offers budget-friendly, no-frills accommodation. The pub itself is a beautiful old space with a great selection of food and drinks on offer and there was live music in the beer garden on Saturday night. Our room would have benefited from a few very basic amenities (bin, iron, coat hangers) to make our stay more comfortable. Be aware there was no taxi/ride share service in town at the time of our stay so we were entirely dependent on our hire car during our stay. "

"The property is showing its age and needs upgrading. Some wall fittings - light switches, towel holders etc were loose and poorly fitted. No smoke alarms! Tatty curtains. Large hole in bed sheet. Room was quite well equipped but aircon needs thorough clean internally. Location is handy to shops and fuel. Paknsave across the road."

"Great apartment furnished in eclectic Raglan style. The host was very thoughtful (leaving eggs, cheese, bread etc for breakfast) and easy to communicate with. The hillside view from the back deck is beautiful. The apartment was very clean and had off-street parking right out front. Overall, a great value. "

"Air con was not required as the family unit was warm and comfortable."
