Oktoberfest Raglan 2026

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. On the deck is a BBQ for magical dinner evenings. Relax in the outdoor sauna, shower and freestanding bathtub where you can soak while drinking in valley views and birdsong. After wandering nature trails, beaches, or the artistic Raglan township, return to Venus and unwind to relax and embrace the comforting countryside.

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.

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.

Overlooking Ruapuke Beach and set within our private vineyard at the foothills of Mt Karioi, this is a unique opportunity to stay at a remote location without compromising on comfort. Foudre Suite is perfect for a romantic getaway, surf retreat or to experience Raglan’s outdoors. With expansive views across lush native bush towards the ocean, you’ll take in the sound of breaking waves and abundant birdsong. Soak it all in under the stars from your private hot tub, enjoy warm west coast sunsets in summer or cosy up by the fire in winter with a glass of our bespoke, handcrafted wine (exclusively available to purchase from Barrelled Wines).

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.

The Beach Cottage is a recently rejuvenated 50-year-old bach (holiday home) overlooking the beautiful remote Waikorea Beach. Waikorea Beach is located between Raglan and Port Waikato on the West Coast of New Zealand's North Island. The Cottage is a 2 bedroom New Zealand style bach overlooking the beach, with every room offering an amazing view. The Cottage is set on a 1500 acre sheep and cattle farm. To keep you warm in the evenings the cosy lounge has an open fire and there are an outdoor brazier and firewood to burn.
