I stayed for 2 nights at Jess' place, it's a nice peaceful location, great view from the room and an easy to walk to central Raglan. Raglan itself is small and I was there in the early, quieter part of the season which was nice and relaxing. Jess gave me some good advice on things to do in Raglan and the town has enough good food, good bars, good activities and the general vibe is friendly and welcoming
