The Yard Sale

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.

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.

One of three Unyoked cabins overlooking the ocean in Raglan. Each site is handpicked to give you the feeling of being 1000s of km away, even when you’re less than 2 hours from Auckland. You’ll find all the creature comforts including a comfy bed & fresh high quality linen, free organic custom blended local teas, free fresh local coffee beans, a mini-fridge stocked with New Zealand craft beers, Unyoked’s unique pre-made cocktails and local wines. Kick back in our hammock with one of our books or or enjoy a hot shower with a view that will give you goosebumps. Guests can cook inside with everything you’ll need or test your skills with the outdoor fire NZ made cast iron cooking equipment. Human nature needs nature. Unyoked helps you get there.

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.

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.

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.
