This place has a wonderful feel to it. It's open and airy with lots of sunlight and birds singing outside. You can hear the ocean from the cottage. The lookout is beautiful. It's a short walk to Manu Bay surf break. If you prefer to surf at the beach (more for beginners and intermediates), then it's a short drive or a pleasant 25 minute walk. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. If ever I travel to Raglan again, I will book this place.
