Iso Bistro-Cocktail Lounge is known locally for its food and chic ambience – the perfect place to have a celebratory drink to kick off the weekend’s festivities.

Our opening night is for all our visitors and the official start of the RAW Weekend. The cost includes a welcome cocktail and grazing-table style meal.

It will be a relaxed affair, no evening attire required! This event is made possible due to RAW’s long term partnership with Bayleys Real Estate in Raglan.

Canopy Camping Escapes | Lovebird Cottage

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.

Moa Stone Estate - Welcome to your idyllic, private retreat away from home

We want you to feel right at home. Cook nourishing meals in your fully-equipped separate kitchen, make an easy fry-up on the BBQ, or simply pour a glass of bubbly and soak in the quartz stone bath, perfectly positioned in a private, covered corner of the deck. Details of repurposed century-old rimu throughout the space give the cabin a charming, rustic feel. When it’s time for sleep, curl up into your orthopaedic, super king bed and wrap yourself in Egyptian cotton bedding. The views won’t disappoint; dusk can give Mount Karioi pink, orange and red sunsets and clear nights a stargazing spectacle. Add in the birdsong and cascading views of the flower farm, and you’ll have a pinch-yourself moment as you look out at your snapshot of colour.
