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.

Owner lives 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
