Come & enjoy a relaxing stay in our piece of paradise on Moonlight Bay. Delight in the beautiful panoramic water views from your own seating area or the top deck. Self contained with tea & coffee, a fridge, hot plate, pots, electric frying pan & microwave. Within walking distance is a quiet beach area where guests can enjoy swimming, various fishing spots, free use of a double kayak or a coast walk to the wharf for fish & chips. We live on site and are happy to help with any requests guests have. We are a 4 minute drive from the centre of Raglan, or you can walk along the shore line, when the tide is right, to Raglan Wharf or a longer walk, further on into the town. The flat is north facing, often sun drenched, warm and comfy, attached to but totally independent from the house, with its own view, access and outdoor seating area, so your privacy will be assured. There is parking on site and a large, shared upper deck on the property that guests can have the use of should they wish to. The area we live in has its own, quiet beach area available to residents, which adds to the attraction of Moonlight Bay. If you are looking for a place that makes your stay just that little bit more special, then you won't be disappointed. In the 2 roomed flat there is a TV which is a smart TV with apps for Nz on demand, YouTube and plays Netflix, as well as some books and games. There is a queen sized bed in the main room and a single bed / day couch in the other room, with a pull out trundled bed underneath. We can also provide a portacot on request as well as a portable high chair. Please also let us know in advance if you are wanting to use our double kayak so we can get the gear ready. We also have lots of info about Raglan, and have put a mini arts trail together for you to enjoy. One of our hobbies is wine making, and we make a lovely Moonlight Bay Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris, using the delicious Mount Karioi mountain water. Free tasting available on request. :) We do request that guests leave the flat in a tidy condition as we do not charge a cleaning fee, so as to help keep costs down. Our home was named Rangimarie, which means peace in Maori, long before we had the pleasure of moving in, but suits this spot to a tee. A place to rejuvenate, relax and let sitting watching the ocean work its magic. Whether on the deck with a glass of wine or down by the waters edge. Raglan is a wonderful spot to visit. It has excellent cafes, restaurants and galleries and also evening entertainment on most weekends. It has a music club once a month where locals and visitors can jam the night away. A thriving art scene is also worth exploring, whether it be jewellery, sculpture or something more contemporary - we can provide information for you to browse. Not only renowned for its surf beaches Raglan also has many wonderful walks that cater for all abilities, bike tracks, evening cruises, caving and lots of fishing spots, it even has a skateboard park for the gromits. It is worth taking the time to explore everything Raglan has to offer and we look forward to sharing it with you. During your stay we will be following normal social distancing protocols, which is easy to do with the flat being completely independent from the main house. We are both triple vaxxed. We look forward to hosting you.
