About this property
Raglan Farmhouse, Amazing Sunsets from massive deck, Spa & Pool
Raglan Farmhouse is situated on 2 Acres atop a little hill at the entrance to Raglan, with stunning sunsets out over the estuary and Mt Karioi
The place has been specifically set up for groups of 12 to 16 people, to relax, cook and spend time together But absolutely NO LOUD PARTIES ! Small family gatherings are ok but all noise needs to be inside doors closed by 9pm, We are an old farmhouse on the edge of town about a 10 to 15min walk in or 1 min drive.
We have 2 King beds & 4 Queen beds and 4 Single beds across 7 different rooms in a number of dwellings & one XL caravan. There are a few different outdoor settings to enjoy, from the large Deck & BBQ area with amazing sunset views, to the front lawn with Spa & Cold pool, or the lower garden sheltered amongst the old fruit trees, next to our extensive Vegie Garden. There is also plenty of off street parking and enough space to turn a boat or park a camper.
The old farmhouse itself has a Master room with a King bed and a second bedroom with Queen bed, adjacent to 2 full bathrooms plus a sun-room with 2 single beds coming off the Separate lounge, that opens into a Full Kitchen, Dinning & family room.
Right next to the house and sharing the outdoor living area with the house is a converted barn with another open plan Kitchen, dinning & lounge space. This fully insulated barn has a log burner, 65" TV with sky sport & massive 8 person couch. This space acts as the central hub for large groups with stunning views out over the estuary, and 1 big family bathroom plus the Mountain view room with ensuite.
Next two the barn and within close proximity to the bathroom is the XL white caravan & the Classic Kiwi sleep-out. The XL Caravan is a favourite of many customers and contains a queen bed at one end, and U shaped lounge area at the other end, a perfect area for small kids to sleep. The Classic Kiwi As Sleep out is great for bigger families or as a room to put all the kids in together, there is a very comfortable super King bed and 2 full size single beds plus a couple of small single mattresses that can be set up in a couple of different configurations depending on your requirements
Descend into the lower garden of old fruit trees, and tucked away you will find the Wooden Cabin, a favorite for couples of all ages esp those without kids who want their own space.
Raglan Farmhouse is all about relaxation and mindfulness there is a 2 night minimum stay in place all year round and in Summer and public Holidays this increases to 3 to 5 nights. We do NOT accept Stags, Hens or any large group of individuals that want to make a Noise and be rowdy, No Fireworks or open fires are allowed !
You will have the entire location for your exclusive and private use. But we live next door on the neighbouring section and will come meet you at check in to show you around and can be available to help via text or in person if need be during your stay if you have any issues or if you're making too much noise we will come politely let you know.

Awesome location for large groups, charming farm style cottage and large communal barn, great amenities, plenty of room, we had a great time with a large group of people
We enjoyed the big barn house with a huge table for meals for 14 and all the caravans and cabins located around the property that offered privacy. The spa was a tear after surfing and the kids loved the plunge pool and karaoke with disco lights!
2 'houses' and several detached dwellings. Fortunately weather was good for most of our 3 nights there. Hot easy to communicate with, but place is run down.
This place exceeded our expectations. The view, the property, the manager, the rooms, the spa, the pool, everything was amazing. We loved the fact that we werent cramped, we had space to be together and we also had space to be alone. We absolutely loved our stay, highly recommend Te Whare and am absolutely rebooking! Thank you Chris for sharing your piece of paradise.
Great for friends or family meeting up or for an occasion where you want a laidback, bachy feel! We loved the main hangout living room area, great party room!
Had an amazing stay at the Farmhouse. Chris was super easy to communicate with from start to finish. House had everything we needed and more, amazing views, so much space for the kids and to each have our own rooms, close enough to stroll into town. Spa pool a plus! We will be back, thanks!

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Cool, quirky farmhouse with plenty of space in a handy location. The place needs maintenance though and is quite run down. Shows signs of being a party house not a family get away. Some Money spent maintaining toilets, showers and a leaky gas bbq and this place will be great, again.
Amenities: an absolutely incredible view from deck and very small living room looking outwards sea/ocean and mountains very beautiful to wake up to. The hot spa and small dinky rinky above ground plastic pool was a welcome delight fun for my grandchildren . However, I found this complex a discombobulated misfit that needs upgrading, cleaning indoors everywhere old, worn out old furniture along with its coverings which were dirty dark dusty musty smelling . Interior everywhere smelled pretty bad. Dark curtains . The old ranch house was big, unfinished unclean, cushions dusty, structure still incomplete, there was no nice floor covering, it’s a rat hole . The Bach in the back under the trees was nice but musty smelling, with NO bathroom. We were disappointed! Would not want to stay here unless fixed up properly fit enough to be an acceptable accommodation .
I can't rate this place highly enough! We had a group of friends/family ranging from 4 to 47 staying here to celebrate my husbands birthday and this place couldn't be more perfect. The place is extremely well set up for a big group, the ammenities were great, kitchen is well set up, and beds and bedding were SO comfortable. Super easy 950m walk to the main shops. Sitting in the spa and looking at the stars was a highlight for us all, we've never seen stars like it! The kooky art throughout was an added bonus. We'll definitely be staying here time and time again.

Not quite what we were expecting
Not quite what we were expecting. Location good in terms of beautiful view over the estuary. Plenty of space but all aspects of accommodation a little run down and 'character'.

Clean sheets and towels.
Clean sheets and towels. Lots of communal space and space to spread out. It meets its description as a Farmstay and is value for money. I'd go back.
