Steen and Tonya are beyond nice hosts...they really went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay in Raglan. Steen even sent me surf reports in advance. They were also flexible with checkin and checkout times. As for the studio itself, it's really clean, with a separate entrance and private bathroom. My wife and I are doing a bit of a marathon drive through NZ, so we only stayed in Raglan for one night, but would stay here again in a heartbeat. Great place!
