Very cozy room with cool African vibe. Loved we could have our dog with us. The best muffin room delivery!

The owners were the perfect match of available and friendly but not intrusive.

Lovely little touches like fresh juice, ample milk and plunger coffee and warm fresh muffins each morning. Our pet was welcomed and great walking tracks nearby-perfect dog place!

Breakfast was lovely. Robyn catered for my gluten intolerence with GF bread & delicious freshly made gluten free muffins which were a treat. Good continental breakfast provisions. Our dog was happy here. Unfenced but once she’d had a sniff around she was happy to stay close to the room or lie in shady spot and watch the world go by.

Loved the fact that she could go inside with us. Location has a slight rural feel and is fine if happy to drive to beach etc, (only 5 or 10 mins) which to us wasn’t a hassle.

Walk to town about 15 mins which we did quite easily leaving dog tied up in a shady spot at the house. Lovely quiet street meant it was peaceful sitting out on small deck in morning with breakfast or in the evening.

Overall we enjoyed our weekend break very much. Robyn was a lovely host and available should we need her without at all intruding on our privacy, basically we were left alone unless we wanted assistance. Perfect hosting.

The rooms and the beds are very high standard for a hostel. If you get a place in the backhouse you will be sleeping in a sweet house with very big rooms. There’s also a brand new big TV in a lovely living room.

Talking about the equipment, Raglan Backpackers has got: a sauna, a hot tub(!), more than enough bathrooms, two kitchens with lots of stuff in there, two living rooms with lots of books, games and DVDs, and a cute little dog – his name is ocean.

The hostel is located along the lake and is a 10 minute drive from the beach.

Everyone is incredibly laid back, and of the 10 or so different places I stayed in New Zealand, Raglan felt most laid-back, like my friends back at home, and was an excellent value for my money.

Additionally, it was clean, and they even have a cat and dog and beer fridges on site.

Stunning property, the photos don’t do it justice. Amazing views, and most comfortable bed I’ve slept in. Loved the local coffee beans and fresh milk from the local creamery! Lovely hosts, are close enough if you end anything but still have your privacy.

Would definitely recommend this place for a little getaway. Cosy outdoor area, with a brazier to enjoy the sunsets. Overlooking Raglan so you can pop down for breakfast or brunch in one of the cool cafes.
