Kate's place was in a nice location. Access to the inlet from the backyard was great. The use of the kayaks really added to the place, as kayaking up to a really good local cafe was a fun experience.
The walk into town was about 2 km, but particularly scenic along the inlet and over the footbridge.
Communication was great, especially as we had given them very short notice of our arrival.
I would not hesitate in recommending Kate's place for your stay in Raglan.
