Raglan Escape: Unique holiday home right in the heart of Raglan

Raglan Escape is perfect at any time of year for family holidays, that all important weekend with the girls - or just a couple looking for a quiet weekend. Soak to your hearts content in the generous size bathtub (the infinity hot water means you will not run out of water). The 3 bedrooms sleep up to 9 people:: 2 rooms with a Queen bed each and the large 'bunk room' contains a King bed, a single bed and a double. bed. All linens and towels supplied (including beach towels).

Recently renovated, (inside and out) Raglan Escape offers everything you need for an enjoyable and comfortable break whatever the weather. The super efficient log fire heats the whole house in the winter, and the indoor and outdoor flow to the large deck is just right for watching the beautiful Raglan sunset.

Owners live in a house on the same property, available for any assistance you may need. Please respect our lovely neighbours, no loud music or parties please.

Right in the heart of Raglan this unique bach is only one minute to cafes, shopping and the best coffee in New Zealand. plus only 3 minutes walk to the harbour beach. What more could you want.

Fully fenced section with carport and off street parking completes the offer at Raglan Retreat.

NOTE: There is no television at Raglan Escape, plenty of books to read for your relaxing stay though.

IMPORTANT: If you have an EV, the public charger is on Bow Street beside the Community Centre. Please do NOT charge from any of the outlets on the property as they are not designed for this purpose. Thank you

Fabulous stay in the heart of Raglan

We stayed as a family group and we were all blown away by how beautiful the property was. It was sparkling clean and so close to the centre of town. It’s a real gem. The owners are lovely and so accommodating. The big deck at the front is perfect for enjoying time together. 10/10!

Winter Raglan warmth

Fire was lit prior to us arriving and what a joy that was to step out of the wind and rain into a warm cosy cottage! Lovely open spaces, calming light filled and cleverly renovated cottage. Beds are comfy, place was very clean and host was absolutely lovely. We’d come again for sure and would highly recommend!

Our group had a truly wonderful time at your property. We could tell the layout of the rooms/out door spaces were designed with comfort and enternaining in mind. It was the perfect fit for our family and friends. We will all be reccomending this property to friends & family in the future.

We loved our stay here. Couldn’t fault anything. Had all facilities needed for a comfortable stay. Even had some toys for the kids. So convenient for walking into town. Lovely fireplace to warm the place. John was lovely and greeted us on check in and was available if we needed anything. Will definitely want to stay here in the future. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Incredible place

This place is a dream. The large decking with table seating and lounge suite is just perfect for that morning breakfast coffee or late afternoon drink and nibbles. Beautiful decor throughout and very clean. Extremely well equipped kitchen making a stay for a large group easy. Just loved the finishing and thoughtful touches. Very short walk down the drive to the local shops and beach. Thoroughly recommend staying here. You wont be disappointed.
