I had a wonderful stay at Rick's house. What a tranquil and peaceful place. The views were stunning and hearing the birds in the morning out on the deck was fabulous. The centre of Raglan is only a few minutes drive away. Rick was a great host and helpful when I came in the dark on Friday night. The room was heated and the electric blanket was on, so really thoughtful for a Winter's night. Rick had a fantastic amount of knowledge of the area and as a first time visitor to Raglan it was really helpful to have tips on places to eat and sites. Rick has a gallery at the wharf which I popped in for a visit during my stay, so I recommend that as well. The coffee he offered in the morning was amazing (I'll have to get the brand off you Rick!). He was generous to let me stay on a bit later on my last day so I could have a rest before my drive back. Much appreciated as I wasn't feeling well. As a solo female I felt comfortable and wouldn't hesitate to recommend his place for other females.
