We loved our stay in Raglan! What a fun town to explore. My family went kayaking, while I went looking around the town. I got some coffee at a place that only took cash, but was able to get NZ dollars from an ATM around the corner. I completely enjoyed watching people, enjoy the weather, and selection of eateries! The place we stayed was nice, but I would suggest bringing laundry detergent, soap, shampoo and conditioner; those were not provided. We really appreciated the ice in the refrigerator! The beds were plentiful and comfortable! The view was so pretty, too! ##### Brian D.

She guided us to her place; as the numbering of houses on her street are a little unusual. No worries found the house and its a beaut. Things upstairs and heat pump on and what a nice clean house this is. Could potentially sleep 8. Everything is there, sheets towels . . . Very handy to everything. Had a great time. Thanks Elizabeth :-) ##### Tony K. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Melanie C. 4 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Raglan Everything about the actual stay was great, location, facilities, owner. However, the booking process through the property management was not user friendly. Immediately after booking and paying the fee, I received an email outining the process of paying a bond , types of payments ,I could choose to complete this and a surcharge on credit card payments. As it was told to me after I booked and paid, I challenged this process and given that there were only 2 of us, it was waived. II also received another email , on the day of check in outlining all the possible charges, that may be incurred. For example, if the bbq was used and not cleaned, there was a charge.The list went on. Needless to say, it put a negative slant on the whole booking process through the property management company . Also, there was misinformation. It was stressed in the email, that we must put the key in the lock box every time we left the property and yet there was no lock box. I would like to add that when we arrived the owner was very helpful and friendly and we informed her of these booking procedures. She was not aware of them. ##### Melanie C.
