comfy, clean and good location

odd 2nd bedroom

Booked as last minute change of plan due to Cyclone Gabrielle. Plenty of room for two people with view towards the bay and easy walk into the town. Well equipped kitchen and nice shower.

Bed was not very comfy. Apartment has two double bedrooms but would not have wanted to share with another couple as no door between the bedrooms and you need to walk through one to get to the toilet/shower room. Also one of the bedrooms only has 3 walls and a net curtain.

Good location short walk downhill into town. Property has a nice view towards the harbour from the deck. Nice bathroom with fabulous shower pressure. Quiet location down a peaceful right-of-way. The person who checked us in was very friendly and helpful.

The unit has no internal doors, so if one of your party snores - everyone gets to hear it! The unit is downstairs beneath another holiday rental, and if the people upstairs are walking about, the squeaking floorboards let you know where they are at any given time ;-). When we arrived there was no hand soap in the bathroom, so we had to go and buy our own. Parking can be tricky if someone else has rented the unit upstairs as the driveway configuration means it's difficult for two cars to park. The unit itself is located down a long, very steep right-of-way and can be slightly tricky to find as it's not visible from the road. Beds were comfortable but pillows were the cheap brand filled with small square foam chips. Electric hob was terrible - didn't heat up and it took us 45 minutes to poach some eggs. All little things which made the place overpriced for what it is, but it's still an OK place to stay for a small group of people.

Bathroom was nice and modern, everything was very clean, beds were beautifully made up.

Very small but adequate (just) for the 4 of us.

Very clean - comfy bed and linen - great water pressure

Parking. Instructions for access. Noise from appt above

I booked on behalf of the guests when an error occurred in our original booking in Kawhia. I wasn't aware that breakfast was available. I picked up the keys from Elizabeth and she couldn't have been more hospitable. She was very welcoming. The apartment was immaculately cleaned and I particularly liked the quirky layout. It provided the essentials for a weekend stay.

Raglan accommodation was booked by default when the original Kawhia booking was canceled. For the time of the year, it was feasible as the last available option. For the three very boisterous children, it was not really suitable for them but they adapted and the neighbors accommodated their free spirit for the short period of their stay.
