Joni and Jimmy made us feel very welcome, we had everything we could need to chill out and relax, which is what being in Raglan is all about. The neighbourhood is peaceful and very family orientated, we walked into town as much as possible rather than drive, takes about 25 minutes. Couple of routes you can take, definitely suggest walking down via the Wharf atleast once before sunset to chill out and pick up some fish and chips. Raglan has some great places to eat and pick up organic veg. 2 supermarkets to choose from and a couple of places to get a beer in the evening. We didn't get a chance to paddle board but definitely give it a go and if your feeling fit, climb Mt Kariori! Just expect some mud! We had a great time with Joni and Jimmy and they were both helpful with any information on the area. Thanks guys!
