Hi I'm Lou the founder of Groundswell Property in Raglan, NZ. Myself and team are fortunate to look after a selection of wonderful Raglan holiday homes, accommodating from 1 to 13 guests. Waterfront, ocean views, private bay access, centre of town, cafes on your doorstep... we have something to fit every group and every budget. We'd love to welcome and host you into one of our properties and share all that our vibrant town has to offer.

When it comes to wow-factor locations, this completely charming oceanside cottage delivers on every level. Nestled into Raglan’s premier Rose Street hillside, Tawatahi Cottage is quaint and unassuming, but this hidden gem is sure to surprise and delight. With uninterrupted panoramic water views, sun-drenched north-facing living area and a relaxed, inviting interior, Tawatahi Cottage provides an idyllic solo retreat or couples’ escape for those looking for some blissful time out. Inside this cute and quirky cottage, the pared-back coastal theme, with cool whites and calm oceanside blues create a light-filled, cosy and intimate space, the perfect spot for reading a book or simply admiring the stunning views. The large corner lounge suite provides the comfiest of places to kick back and watch the ever-changing kiwi weathers as they roll across the ocean. And on those hot summers days, throw open the french doors to enjoy your extended living and outdoor entertaining space. The fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, oven, stovetop and fridge/freezer looks across the open plan dining and living room with an indoor dining table that can seat up to 4 people. Or take advantage of the generous, elevated deck with solid wood dining table and enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner with ocean vistas as your backdrop. There are two good sized bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed, bedside tables, night reading lights and 4 drawers tallboy so you can unpack and settle in as if you were right at home.

PLEASE NOTE: The Master bedroom is accessed via the Queen bedroom, but has its own door and can be closed off for privacy. There is a large step up to the bedrooms and step up into the laundry and toilet area so this property wouldn’t be suitable for those that require a level entry. The shower is over a claw foot bath, so again not ideal for those that need a level entry. The toilet is a "cottage type" room with a sliding door for privacy. Unfortunately the clawfoot bath is currently out of order for use as a bath, it is shower only. All linen, towels and basic amenities (soap, shampoo, conditioner, tea, coffee, carton of milk) are included in your nightly rate. Please bring your own beach towels. IN THE AREA: Perfectly located for a 5 minute wander down to the Wharf Waterfront where you can peruse the boutique retail stores, enjoy a beverage at The Wharf Cafe, pick up your evening fish & chips or jump aboard the Wahine Moe sunset cruise in summer. And in a short 12-minute walk along the waterfront, you will find yourself in the main street of our Vibrant Raglan township for more shopping, eateries and entertainment. Rubbish - an allowance has been made for 1x full blue rubbish bag. Additional rubbish must be taken with you or dropped at a local refuse disposal station (details in house info folder). Recycling - an allowance for 1x full recycling bin has been made per stay. Additional recycling must be taken with you or an additional charge of per box will be applied for disposal. Electric Vehicle Charging- We are unable to accommodate electrical vehicle charging at the property, there is a fast charging station location around the town hall on Bow Street.
