We stayed one night so we could enjoy the Raglan nightlife. This backpackers is perfectly positioned for easy level walk to the shops and cafes. I was impressed with the strict silence maintained on the property overnight which made for a perfect sleep. The double room had excellent blockout blinds

A change of accomodation

Reviewed By Grandvisitor

Last time in Raglan we stayed in the cottage this time in the two storey studios. We did enjoy the studios more than the cottage. Very comfortable with nice views from upstairs. The bed also very comfortable with a roomy bedroom with couch to sit on. Downstairs the kitchen was adequate although we only used it for breakfast but the lounge part once again nice and roomy. The only negative was the Wifi network given on the instruction sheet was incorrect also the internet connection was poor each day we were there there was breaks in the connection. We would definitely stay here again given the comfort and the excellent proximity to town.

Harbour View Hotel

Historical Colonial Hotel right in the centre of town. Beautiful restaurant and veranda with 2 bars , one being a large sports bar . Walking distance to beach and all the amenities of our small town. Our rooms are simple and tasteful without ensuite, there is a ladies and gents bathroom just down the hallway and a TV lounge that provides tea and coffee and balcony that looks over the town.

Disappointed

Reviewed By Inamaru97

Stayed 2 nights, wanted to leave the moment we walked in, however all other accommodation was booked out. The walls are so thin you can hear everything going on in the area, the fridge made noises all night like someone was trying to open the door, Positive note the room was clean, clean towels were provided, beds were comfortable but the movement of the mattress felt like your going to roll off the bed. We definitely won't be back

The Silos

Cherry Picker Perverts

Reviewed By T7920CMclairea

Valentine's Day couples getaway this was not. We stayed in the Grand Apartment. The hosts/owners were not only staying there but also were crawling around doing work on the building with a cherry picker - right outside all the windows and balconies. Whilst having an outside shower ? (naked) the female host called out from the balcony above "Hello...I'm not looking" whilst looking straight at me. My fella walked out of the shower naked and the male owner was riding up outside on the cherry picker. I understand work needs to be done but why not wait until there are no guests. Urgent maintenance was needed on a rooftop from a storm the first day which was understandable but not the rest. For $400 a night this was not acceptable. When I raised the issues with the owner straight after she was not understanding at all and defended their actions. So as a special Valentine's couple retreat the intrusion during our stay was just plain wrong. There is a 'naughty room' in this apartment and the owners should be sent to it!! Seriously...

Longitude Apartments

Spacious and well appointed but beware the exorbitant credit card fee

Reviewed By kiwikids5

Booked online and paid via credit card as no other option. Surprised to see an extra $40 (7%) deducted from my card. Contacted the owner who said it was a CC admin fee. No reference to it when booking. Owner didn't want to know. Really disappointing. The apartment itself was great, spacious, light however there were strict rules about what you could and couldn't do. That along with the unexpected extra cost put a dampener on our stay. We're unlikely to return.
