I had an amazing stay at Heartscent! Host Sue and Donna are great hosts, they provide everything one needs to have an awesome stay and experience in Raglan.
The tiny house space is well utilized, it can accommodate a solo traveller, a couple or dual travellers. There is a pocket door that can separate the bedroom from lounge area with independent access points via the glass sliding doors. The kitchen is fully functioning with glass hobs, microwave, sink and dish washer! The kitchen is stocked with tools, utensils, dish-ware, and basic seasonings. Along with outside patio seating and gas grill for a solid feed!
There is private parking on the property with direct access to the water for kayaks, paddleboarding, swimming or just relaxing. And there is Netflix incase you want to just chill.
The property is located within a 15-20minute scenic walk to the beach and center of town with it’s variety of surf shops, cafes, eateries, local grocery stores, butcher, organic goods stores and an exceptional European dessert bakery and cafe.
Sue and Donna also provide information on locations and activities outside of Raglan such as a walk through a “kiwi” leading to a beautiful waterfall, or sweeping views of where the mountain meets the ocean. Sue and Donna’s place is a wonderful place as a base to launch on all those adventures. I highly recommend this place and look forward to future stays!
