We absolutely adored our week long family trip in Raglan, at Mel’s charming cottage! Mel was an amazing host, with her hospitality and small touches. Her place was a haven to unwind, amongst native bush with the most stunning views. The location was great, 30min scenic bush walk in to town, or a 10min walk up the street. Our two year old toddler loved this peaceful home, especially the daily visits from native birds. Visiting in winter, we appreciated having a fire. This made the cottage even more cosy and relaxing. There’s absolutely no doubt that we’ll be back, and I encourage all people to stay at Mel’s cottage if visiting Raglan!
