About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Government House by the Sea • Easy coastal vibe
A classic Kiwi bach with old-school Raglan charm. This spot is all about slowing down, kicking off your shoes and soaking in the easy coastal lifestyle: simple, peaceful and full of character, it is your place to truly unwind. Wake up to birdsong, enjoy coffee on the sunny deck or fire up the BBQ as the sun sets. Whether you`re here for surf, sand or a bit of quiet, it is the perfect base for a laid-back Raglan escape.
Relax and recharge in one king and one queen bedroom, both with cosy beds, fresh linen and plenty of space. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area makes mealtimes and downtime easy, and the private deck with outdoor seating is perfect for coffee, BBQs or evening stargazing. It is a quiet location close to Raglan town, the beaches and the surf, with off-street parking included.
A genuine Raglan retreat: tidy, relaxed and a little bit quirky, exactly how a bach should be. You will have private access to the entire house and outdoor area.
Water images show the local environment (100m to the beach), but not the view.
