We are 2 hours south of Auckland and 40 minutes west of Hamilton, and are just a few miles from Raglan township on New Zealand's beautiful west coast. Our key intention is to see ‘good’ come from what we do. It's good for our customers, our community, and the environment. Relax in our varied up-cycled to modern lodgings, with options to suit all budgets.
