We rented the entire house over the 2016/17 New Years period with my husband, mother in law and children. It is located in a lovely part of Raglan away from the hustle and bustle with a beautiful picturesque view of the forest at the end of the garden. The house was roomy and well equipped for children, upstairs there were three large bedrooms two bathrooms and lounge set up with TV and games which was great for the kids. The weather for us was not great for a Summer in Raglan so it was awesome to have such a lovely house and spa pool to come back to after swimming in the rain. Kids also loved jumping off the foot bridge in town, on an out going tide you can float to the jetty and climb out the steps to run around and do it again. I didn't get to meet the hosts as they were on holiday too. I did not realise that the laundry facilities would be locked away when you booked the entire house, this would have come in handy as we had such terrible weather but that was my fault as I had missed it on there list of amenities. Otherwise we had a great stay and would have loved to enjoy the gardens and decking more had the weather been better for us. Beautiful home, great location!
