Location matters when you're on holiday, and this home is close to all local amenities. Raglan township is just a 5-minute drive away for your supermarket shopping, pick-me-up barista coffee or an ice-cream treat. Known for its arts and crafts, Raglan has plenty of boutique shops perfect for browsing, plus an excellent choice of eateries and cafes. Lorenzen Bay is just a short stroll away and offers safe swimming, kayaking, sunbathing and family fun. For the more adventurous, there are plenty of options nearby. The surf beaches at Ngarunui Beach and Manu Bay are only 10 minutes by car. And if tramping and walking are more your thing, check out the Mount Karioi Summit Tracks or Te Toto Gorge Track. And with fishing, kite surfing, harbour cruises and horse treks, Raglan has something for everyone. Other things to note: Please note there is no bathtub for little ones, but with two large, level entry showers, there is plenty of space for a toddler bath. A baby gate is in place at the top of the stairs connecting to the lounge. Access to the house is via a very steep driveway. This is concrete sealed and no problem for cars/Utes/SUV’s to use, but please be mindful of children if they have skateboards, bikes or scooters available. There is off street parking for 5 vehicles on the driveway. If you are bringing more than 5 vehicles please let us know and we will advise the best place to park the additional vehicles. There is free street parking but it is located about 100m away from the property at the bottom of the steep driveway. Sporting equipment can be stored in the lockable garage area.
