Great location, a short drive to the central part of town. Our room had a lake view, which you can enjoy from a covered and heated balcony, which gives it a plus if you go in winter. The room itself was really comfortable and every detail was well thought out. The spa pool was divine and the place was an oasis to relax. I'll definitely stay there again.

We stayed an extra night by arrangement with the Owner. This extra stay was booked direct at short notice and was not a problem. Stayed here before and it was as good this time as the last. Great spot and will look to stay again in the future.

This is a large, sunny, very clean house with gorgeous views of the beach, within a 5 minute walk of a grocery store. The beds were super comfortable and the lounge is really large, with plenty of room for a big family - the house has 2 double beds and 3 singles. It has excellent heating too, and a wide deck overlooking the ocean. Located 15-20 mins drive north of Thames. We will definitely stay here again.

Although quite basic, the bed and bedding were excellent, it had everything we needed for the price. No view but on the main route out to the surfing beaches.

Walking distance to beach, eateries and town centre. Lovely to go out for dinner an drinks and walk home along the beach. Unit was warm, modern, comfortable and fully equipped. Good WiFi and entertainment area with pool table and darts was great, my husband and son spend much time there. Serene surrounds with the sound of the ocean and Tui singing when you soak up the morning sun on the balcony. Right next to 'Lost Spring' to indulge a pamper if you have time. Really enjoyed our stay! Premium location.

We enjoyed the view of the bay as we sat on the deck. The property was well presented with a comfortable double bed and good quality linens supplied. There were many home comforts which helped us relax into our holiday. Situated just a short drive into Raglan for a coffee or 9 minutes to the surf beach. We will be back.
