Tony’s place is about 10mins or so out of the hustle a bustle of charming and quirky Raglan. As such it’s a calm and restful retreat, set back from the coast but with sea views and surrounded by vegetation. Step out onto the deck in the morning and experience the perfume waft of NZ native bush — and during the night you will likely hear a morepork calling and perhaps the plaintiff high-pitched call of a kiwi. The space is comfortable, private and relaxing, with a new and stylish bathroom fit out. The fresh Raglan Roast coffee is a bracing bonus. An enjoyable visit.
