The Big Deck - “the best ocean views in Raglan”
About this house rental
Located in Raglan, this attractive house for $96 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Take in the most expansive views in Whale Bay, with 180-degree views of the ocean and surf breaks. BBQ and entertain on any one of the three multi-level decks, which are all fenced with plenty of room for children to run around. The Big Deck is a step back in time, a cosy wooden bach nestled in native bush, with plenty of character and only the basics (apart from excellent wifi). The unbelievable star scape and breaking surf will lull you to sleep, and you'll be woken by the sound of Tuis in the morning. 300m walk to the surf break, 9 mins drive to Raglan town and cafes. There is a tv, but you won't need it as there are a range of board-games, comfortable old armchairs to relax in outside to star gaze and watch the sunset from the comfort of the decks. The outdoor space is summer ready – with a BBQ, outdoor table and chairs. You'll be washing dishes by hand old school styles and there's no washing machine because we’re on tank water. It has a simple but clean shower. The bach is very quiet and well off the road so it's safe and secure. There's parking for two cars and space to store boards/bikes/kayaks etc under the house. Pets are ok by prior arrangement - please ask first, and as long as they stay outside (covered verandah to sleep under). Linen is available at 15.00 per guest per night. Raglan highlights within easy reach: - The black-sand at Ngarunui Beach - Long surf break at Manu Bay - Bridal Veil Falls - Ngarunui Beach - Pancake Rocks - Mt Karori - The cliff road to Ruapuke - Te Toto Gorge lookout - The food and coffee in town is awesome. Special conditions: Please be aware that the bach is located in a quiet setting amongst native Kanuka trees, which is appreciated and valued by us and our neighbours. Whereas neighbours' properties aren't readily visible, noise travels in this quiet environment, and we ask that you respect our neighbours by following the house rules and rental terms. Thank you. Extras: Linen (Optional, NZ$15.00 per guest per night);

Smallish house or Bach with a huge deck with ocean views. A little bit out of town but we liked that. Hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and great to deal with. One day we plan to go back to Raglan and we will definitely stay at the Big Deck

Loved this little Bach. It’s not flash and a little tired but so relaxing. The deck is amazing and the views to die for.
Even with a group of teenagers we never felt overcrowded.
Would definitely recommend

We had a great stay. The views from the deck are gorgeous, and the location couldn’t really be better if you’re wanting to stay near the surf.

John was great with giving us a run down of the bach and making sure we knew what we've signed up for. The place has a huge deck with beautiful view of the ocean. It isn't a fancy place and has minimal amenities but if you're looking to have a relaxing getaway and not expecting a fancy place, this is a great option in Raglan.

This property is located about 15 minutes outside of Raglan town centre, and is perched upon a hill. As the description says, the Big Deck is the central feature of the house, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Having coffee in the morning or chilling out at sunset on the deck is one of the highlights of the trip!
The amenities are simple and adequately appointed - we had everything we needed. A classic New Zealand bach.

We had an awesome stay at this batch. It felt really comfortable. Although some things were rather dated our family had a wonderful time. One thing to be aware of is the driveway as it was rather tricky to drive up safely.

The place is exactly as described. Is lovely & cosy. Everything you need for a long weekend or longer stay. John was very prompt and helpful when we had a small issue that was quickly rectified. Quiet neighbourhood but close enough to Raglan for dinner and other supplies. Can't wait to come back ❤️

We did a last minute getaway to Raglan to watch our son surf and saw ‘the big deck’ had availability. Grabbed the 2 grandsons to join us and drove up from Taihape. Well what a magical long weekend we have all had. And this place is what made it so special...the views are incredible and we loved the old school Bach vibe of the house. Easy check in process and fabulous communication with John. So clean and tidy with everything we needed for our 2 nights. Great shower, comfy beds and pillows, and jenga was fun for all. We cannot wait to return again.

The big deck raglan was truly a million dollar view, but the best part to take in the views, (the deck) is rotting in places and the steps are very slippery in wet weather. There is no t.v. to watch unless you take your laptop, and the driveway is a nightmare, also in wet weather.
