This is the spot
What an amazing spot! Will be so perfect in the summer. We were there start of spring and it was lovely. Right on the river front with a huge grass area out your front door. BBQ area, spa and private deck. Good spacious rooms, well equipped kitchen and nice bathroom. Perfect stay for a family.

This is a small older motel. It was very clean and the bed was quite comfortable. My only negative feeling was the blue outside lights that stay on all night, they come thru all the curtain and it hard to sleep.

Relaxing & peaceful
I enjoyed my stay very much. The unit is clean, comfortable & I was pleased for the air conditioning. I relaxed on the grassy bank down to the water which was so peaceful & relaxing. The owner was very pleasant & helpful. There is a great cafe less than 50 metres up the road that makes fantastic coffee & great Italian pizza. A small amount of outstanding maintenance is required is the toilet area which didn’t look so good.

QUIET LOCATION ON THE LAGOON
Very welcoming hosts. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable older style cabin rooms in very good condition overlooking the lagoon. Boat ramp and free kayaks available. BBQ area and large outdoor entertaining areas. Free spas and trampoline. A little bit far from town (15 minute walk) but only 5min drive to surfing beaches. A very pleasant place to stay.

Nice place to stay, easy walk to town. Age is showing though in the property and a few small things fixed up or checked before would make a difference - heat pump, variable TV sound and noisy plumbing, First time in many places we have stayed we have come across a surcharge for making the bed or doing the dishes - particularly at the rate charged.

A place to just runaway.
Raglan is a nice runaway place to just chill out and relax. Go for a walk on the beach etc. Our host was lovely and the unit had a homey feel with a throw rug over the chair and complementary biscuits. We were very comfortable.

Comfortable and tidy
This is a "retro" style motel, kind of cool in an old-fashioned way. Check in was friendly, quick and easy. They give you REAL milk (not those horrible little UHT pots). We opted for the room with the outdoor private spa pool which we used in the evening but as it was raining only for a very brief period. Free WiFi worked well, water pressure was good, bed was comfortable. Everything was clean and tidy, but it is not modern or luxurious. If you go with these expectations then you won't be disappointed.

Location was amazing. They have kayaks, grills and beach towels free to use. Also there is free WiFi and it was pretty decent. We enjoyed our time there and had a great stay. Thank you so much and hope to stay here again. Oh and not to mention it’s right on the water.
