Book a Raetihi Cottage

"Everything you could need for a long or short stay. Great veranda to enjoy the morning coffee from (or any time of day). If your tall, you need to watch the height of a couple of the doorways at night. Would definitely stay again."

"A great place for our two night stay in Havelock. Everything we needed was provided and it is a very comfortable and spacious cottage. Great location - just a short walk to town and the mail boat wharf. Would definitely stay here again when we are back in the region. No hesitation in recommending Bora Castle"

"Over all good bar the sleeping arrangements and the odd bath room set up which could not be locked for privacy. Not suitable for easy access with 6 metre boat in tow very tricky driveway and would be near impossible without a 4 drive vehicle."

"Lovely spacious bach. Lovely log burner. Amazing view. Highy recommend."

"The view and location was amazing and the house was generally clean and comfortable with some dusty bits and some cobwebs. But the place is a bit tatty and run down. It definitely needs an update or a price change. The kitchen needs more equipment, wooden spoons, oven dishes and some decent knives. The upstairs bathroom door doesn't stay closed. The screen doors on the balcony are broken. There was a trampoline which my son was excited to use but the net is badly broken so not safe to...

"We loved our stay at your batch. Went swimming everyday, a perfect slice of paradise. Close enough for day trips to Havelock , Picton, Blenheim and Nelson Would love to come stay again Thanks"

"Terrific stay. As the accurate listing shows, the view, deck, spa, and water access are such a treat. And the kayaks and paddle board are a great addition. The inside is also lovely, and has virtually everything you’d want. I’ve never stayed at a vacation home that was this well kitted out. Stay here if you get the chance!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay…the best location, the house has everything you need and sitting on the deck listening to the birds and watching the tides and boats was heavenly."

"Very pleasant and roomy - a short walk to the beach and a rather challenging golf course. Very much enjoyed by a family of four adults"

"Really enjoyed our stay in this spacious holiday home in a beautiful location. It had everything we needed and I loved that it was easy walking distance to the water. Fabulous view from deck!"

"Great location and fantastic appartment with gorgeous views. "

"It was a very beautiful location. lovely neighbours and good check in process. Penny was very good to communicate with and offered good knowledge of the area."

"Great place to stay for a long weekend getaway. House is very cool with lots of space to play and have quiet time if needed. Lovely big lawn to activities, kayaks and dinghy were great. Lots of toys books and dvds for rainy days. Pretty much all bases are covered! Such a special place highly recommend."
