Great location

This house is a fantastic location if you are in Raglan to surf. The house was nice and clean, with plenty of space. Julls was a great host, giving us access a bit early as soon as the place was ready after the last guests, and quick with replies to any questions I had. Would happily stay here again.

Perfect place for an extended family getaway.

We were three families staying with adult children, enjoying Easter together

It was a lovely, clean and warm home, and large enough to lodge 12 adults. It is very close to the sea if you love surfing. Our only disappointment was that a hot tub is on the Bookabach description and there was no hot tub to be found.

What a great spot

We loved our stay here. Two families of 5 - we had a ball. Easy walk to the beach where there was a popular surf break and good for spectating too! House was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Close to Mt Karioi which provided a spectacular day of hiking. Only a 10 min drive into the town of Raglan. Super spot.

Mums & Kids Getaway to Raglan

Our stay was lovely & the house was perfect in size for our group of friends & kids . The location was great to 😊 Unfortunately the big room with the single beds had an interesting smell to it & there was quite a few cockroaches in that room but no other rooms in the house. One of the smoke alarms went off due to low battery to in early hours of Monday morning . Overall we loved our stay and would definitely recommend. Had all the facilities and space we required to make everyone’s stay a comfortable and enjoyable one. Julls is a fantastic host , very easy to liaise with & kept us well informed on Raglan & updated on road closures and travel alternatives.
