The Best Ocean Views in Raglan LAST STAYS!! Thursday! Friday! Saturday! Sunday!

FINISHING! Last few days to stay! Thursday! Friday! Saturday! Sunday!Take in the most expansive 180degrees ocean view from the biggest multi-level decks in Whale Bay. Enjoy THE BIG DECK with the BBQ right outside the door + plenty of room for children, and Pets to run around on the fenced decks backing onto native bush. Step back in time to a cosy, basic wooden bach with only the basics (excellent wifi) The unbelievable star scape+ breaking surf will lull you to sleep, + you'll be woken by the sound of Tuis in the morning. Walk to the surf break, short 9 min drive to Raglan town.

Raglan highlights within easy reach:
- The black-sand at Ngarunui Beach
- Long surf break at Manu Bay
- Bridal Veil Falls
- Ngarunui Beach
- Pancake Rocks
- Mt Karori
- The cliff road to Ruapuke
- Te Toto Gorge lookout
- The food and coffee in town is awesome.

Enjoyable stay at the Big Deck
Smallish house or Bach with a huge deck with ocean views. A little bit out of town but we liked that. Hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and great to deal with. One day we plan to go back to Raglan and we will definitely stay at the Big Deck

Amazing!
Loved this little Bach. It’s not flash and a little tired but so relaxing. The deck is amazing and the views to die for. Even with a group of teenagers we never felt overcrowded. Would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a great stay at The Big Deck, excellent location and had everything we needed. Everything was just as expected from the photos & description, very tranquil location a bit out of town. Would definitely stay again if we’re out in Raglan on a future trip.

Stunning views from the deck
John was great with giving us a run down of the bach and making sure we knew what we've signed up for. The place has a huge deck with beautiful view of the ocean. It isn't a fancy place and has minimal amenities but if you're looking to have a relaxing getaway and not expecting a fancy place, this is a great option in Raglan.

Fantastic View, Great Stay for Family
This property is located about 15 minutes outside of Raglan town centre, and is perched upon a hill. As the description says, the Big Deck is the central feature of the house, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Having coffee in the morning or chilling out at sunset on the deck is one of the highlights of the trip! The amenities are simple and adequately appointed - we had everything we needed. A classic New Zealand bach.

We had an awesome stay at this batch. It felt really comfortable. Although some things were rather dated our family had a wonderful time. One thing to be aware of is the driveway as it was rather tricky to drive up safely.
