Fantail Cottage - 35mins to Raglan &15 mins to shopping centre. Farm outlook
At Fantail Cottage you can relax and enjoy a country setting while still being close to Beaches, shopping, Hospital and numerous other attractions. Fantail Cottage offers you a 2 bedroom stand alone place with a kitchen, bathroom and laundry. We live on the other side of the drive so are there if you have any questions.
Only 35mins drive to Raglan which is both a surfing mecca and a dramatically scenic area of black sand coastline.
If you're not a hard-core surfer, Ocean Beach is a fine place for a swim, a body boarding session or even a surf lesson.
There are several excellent walks in the Raglan area. In just 10 minutes you can walk to the top of Bridal Veil Falls (55 metres). If you're wanting a more challenging adventure, you can climb to the top of Mount Karioi - on a fine day you can see all the way to Taranaki Maunga, one of the North Island's highest mountains.
Cycle the Pipiwharauroa Trail which will get you up close to the 137m high wind turbines at the Te Uku windfarm or Te Ara Kakariki, Raglan’s newest mountain bike track. Other popular activities include kayaking, stand up paddleboarding and harbour cruises as well as rock climbing and canyoning.
Be sure to spare a couple of hours for Raglan township. It's an entertaining mix of cafés, bars, surf shops and galleries. This part of New Zealand has always attracted people who are into sustainable lifestyles, so the residents are full of character.
Looking to shop - look no further than The Base - only 15mins drive away.
Te Awa is an award winning indoor shopping mall located in New Zealand's largest and most innovative shopping centre, The Base and home of Hoyts Flagship Cinema featuring the largest silver screen in the country, a visit to this award winning centre is a must.
Te AWA's striking architecture, designed in line with Waikato Tainui's cultural history, is a part of what sets this International Shopping Centre Award winning centre apart from any other centre in Australiasia.
With over 3,000 freecarparks, no purchase required and with such a huge selection of stores, over 190 at The Base who could not have fun shopping here.

Country Mini-break
Immaculate and comfy cottage with lovely, peaceful rural setting.
Perfectly positioned for the function we were attending and had no problems getting Ubers to and from the venue.
The breakfast cereals and nespresso machine greatly appreciated before we left the next morning
Thankyou Fiona
