Annie's place was a peaceful little gem, just far enough out of Raglan village to escape the crowds. The apartment had a magic view overlooking the garden, the beach reserve and the sea. We saw tuis and wood pigeons. It was a quick walk from the property to the beach where you could watch surfers show off their skills on the waves. Or you could sit out on the deck and soak up the sun. Annie was very welcoming. She provided bread, milk, muesli, yoghurt, juice and marmalade jam for breakfast. There were also yummy little biscuits. We enjoyed cooking on the Weber BBQ on the deck, which supplemented the kitchen. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything that we needed. I highly recommend staying here.
