Oktoberfest Raglan 2026

Designed for two, the lodge is a warm and comfortable retreat, where we want you to feel right at home. Cook nourishing meals in your fully-equipped separate kitchen, have an easy BBQ, or simply pour a glass and soak in the oversized quartz stone bath, perfectly positioned in a private, covered corner of the deck. Beautiful wooden details throughout the space, repurposing century-old rimu wood, give the cabin a charming, rustic feel. When it’s time for sleep, close the blackout curtains, curl up into your orthopaedic super king bed and wrap yourself in Egyptian cotton bedding. The TV conveniently rotates to wherever you’re sitting. The en-suite bathroom with rain shower has fluffy towels, bathrobes, and amenities for your comfort.

This beautifully refurbished, 3-bedroom coal miners' cottage will transport you to another place & time. A quiet rural location with stunning country views for a relaxed, rejuvenating experience. Options to just relax with a good book, enjoy the view from your own private hot tub on the deck, or get out & about on a tour of the farm. If you are wanting to venture further afield, it's 20 minutes to the famous Nikau Caves and Cafe. Enjoy a coffee or lunch there after a guided tour of one of natures wonders. Admire the pancake rocks as you pass by on this remote country road, proceed further along the Te Akau Coast Road with stunning views of the rugged west coast & Mt Karioi standing guard over Raglan & the coast.

Drift to sleep in a plush queen bed with lovely linens, then wake as sunlight streams through your picture-frame windows, bringing the outside world to your bedside. Warm wooden floors complement brass accents, while a botanical mural adorns the wall concealing your bathroom and kitchen. A winding stream borders the property, creating a peaceful soundtrack to your stay, as well as a picturesque spot for a romantic picnic or a private soiree for two. With pathways meandering through lush greenery, the entire property feels like its own pretty park filled with touches of the wild. Stroll down to the sheltered pavilion for magical BBQ evenings, or indulge in the alfresco shower, freestanding bathtub & barrel sauna.

Set within our private vineyard at the foothills of Mt Karioi, overlooking Ruapuke Beach (a 5-minute drive), this is a unique opportunity to stay at a remote location without compromising on comfort. You’ll feel immersed in nature, in an isolated part of Waikato’s west coast. Enjoy expansive views across lush native bush towards the ocean from the viewing platform just a few steps from your door. The exclusive-use barrel sauna will help you completely unwind during your stay, custom-made with a full glass front to showcase this incredible outlook. Fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves in a comfortable queen-size bed. Wake up to birdsong and a coffee from your in-room Nespresso machine.

Tucked in behind Raglan's shopping and dining strip, Raglan Sunset Motel is minutes walk to the harbour. Choose your level of adventure - kayak to the Pancake Rocks, hire bikes, climb Mt Karioi, visit Bridal Veil Falls, go fishing, follow an arts trail or simply take a sunset stroll to catch the harbour cruise. After a day out exploring, come back to your ensuite studio, 1 or 2 apartment, relax in the sunny guest courtyard and fire up the BBQ. Our spacious rooms are newly refurbished with a casual coastal style and a spacious bathroom serviced daily. A spa is a perfect tonic before sleep. Our Conference Room is perfect for smaller groups to stay, work or celebrate together. Interconnecting and wheelchair accessible rooms are available.

The super-stylish wee cottage is nestled into a private section of an orchard - overlooking the undulating countryside and Parawai stream. It's a peaceful spot with calming energy, perfect for taking your mind off stresses and unwinding. The cottage has a kitchenette, lounge area, bathroom and comfortable queen-sized bed. The undercover porch has a bar leaner and BBQ - ideal for prepping that delicious alfresco feast. Wander down a short winding path and natural limestone staircase from the cottage and you'll reach a beautiful bush bath. Further down is a small shaded deck under a Kahikatea tree. It's the perfect place to sit with an evening drink and take in the magic of the streamside bush setting.
