Joni's place was great. Definitely unique in that it seems a work in progress but we had a great time there. Joni was warm and inviting, showed us around, and gave us some great advice on places to eat and things to see. She actually had a very handy booklet complete with a map of Raglan with personal favorite spots on it along with some menus for local eats. The bed was comfy, the flat is entirely private (minus a bit of noise bleed), there is a kitchen, and it's a great location if you're good with a little walking to explore. The only drawback I'll give for anyone is that the shower is a bit hard to get right. The pressure is fine, but the mixing of hot and cold water is a delicate process. But unless that is a deal breaker for you I would recommend Joni's place.
