Bayview Crest, Raglan

Nestled on the fringe of Raglan, surrounded by native bush and featuring harbour views, this house is an ideal getaway for those wanting something away from the hustle and bustle of cities. Peacefully located within a native bush, this place is perfect to relax and unwind.

Modern architectural designed, and North facing Bach, this house is situated on two levels. The upper level features a kitchen, dining, and lounge area, with floor to ceiling windows on walls looking out onto the deck. The private upper deck, shielded from neighbours, overlooks a bush area and inner harbour, with views over the water. Upper Deck features outdoor seating as well as a barbeque. The bottom level houses the bedrooms, all featuring sliding doors onto the private lower deck nestled into the bush itself.

The house is a 5 minute walk to safe harbour swimming at Cox or Lorenzen Bays as well as a 20 minute stroll to Raglan cafes and speciality shops.

If surfing is what you are after, the house is a 15 minute drive to the famous Raglan surf beaches.

A great Kiwi holiday house.
A great Kiwi holiday house. Perched high on the hill with harbour views (glimpses), caught the breeze nicely. Great outlook over the ponga trees below. Very well equipped with everything you need. Just turned up, chill out and enjoy the relaxed Raglan vibe. I'd recommend the better walk to town is via Government Rd, then along the water front, rather than down the main road (about 15 mins).

The property was as shown in the photos, lovely view of the harbour and bush. Great to have some games and toys for the little ones. Linen was provided which made life easier for me. Nice touches around the place like some shampoo and heated towel rails. Plenty of cooking pots, utensils and serving dishes -loved the BBQ. All the family had a great holiday.

Bayview Cres was perfect for us.
Bayview Cres was perfect for us...4 adults and 2 kids. Lots of space in the large lounge and felt very open with all the windows and views out over the tree tops. A very tiday, comfortable place to stay. It was disappointing though that the DVD player would not work (the DVD slot would not open to allow us to put in the DVD). It was great to be able to have all the board games on offer though. Thanks

Excellent Bach with magnificent views of the bay! I really liked the abundance of heaters given how cold it was over the weekend! We will definitely stay here again the next time we head down to Raglan.

Beautiful bach
Beautiful Bach, communication with the owner was awesome and she answered all my questions. The bach was stunning, it felt more like a home and was equipped with everything and more you could need. It can become a bit noisy when you have 6 people with some of them wanting to sleep earlier than others but thats really the only downside.

Lovely escape to Raglan in a experiment of taking our small dogs and enjoying a lovely house.
Thanks Anna for allowing us to share your house, the joys of Raglan with pets included. We have 2 house trained little dogs that love company so unsure how they would settle but did. Great house as like ours with 2 levels and upper deck has views of bush and harbour so contained. Wanted a relaxing stay, no car needed (brought own food) and enjoy local Coxs beach (2 mins walk and wait for high tide) with walks. We wanted relaxing, read book and enjoy peace. Would stay again. Good communications with Anna. Lovely.

Good location, you will need to drive to town however (a little far to walk) Nice views and a nice quite street. Would be a fantastic house to stay in over summer with the big picture windows and high ceiling. A little chilly over winter, but good heaters!
