Cozy getaway spot in the trees

We had a wonderful weekend away staying in the cottage. Jane was excellent with her communication and even leaving a few goodies in the way of a box of chocolates and a bottle of milk. Some previous reviews had mentioned the place not getting any sun but we found it the opposite. It was well lit in most parts of the house, warmed up during the day (even in wintertime now) and we loved being surrounded by the native trees. We didn’t have any complaints, other than one or two of the photos were hard to judge like the bathrooms, but that didn’t worry us. The drive is steep and narrow but theres enough space up top to turn around etc. The upstairs loft / master bedroom was a really lovely space and the fire got most of the house heated up nice & toasty.We would absolutely stay here again

Tree house in Raglan

We enjoyed our stay in Raglan. The house was as pictured and described. The stars at night were amazing. We did drive into town, a little too far for us to walk, and enjoyed several of the restaurants and shops. We also took surf lessons while there.

Gorgeous cosy tree house with sea views

We had a great stay, the house was small but well equipped. Perfect for a family of four plus Granny. The kids loved the board games. Not much space for them to run around but a great house for hide and seek! Clean and tidy and only a 5 minute walk from town or 10 to the wharf.
