This home is designed for easy, relaxed living — a place where families, friends, and surfers can genuinely unwind. With generous indoor–outdoor flow, stunning elevated views, and spaces set up for both play and downtime, it works just as well on rainy days as it does after long days at the beach. The mix of family-friendly features, games, and surf equipment makes it feel more like a well-loved home than a standard holiday rental. Add in outdoor dining, a BBQ, and an outdoor shower, and you’ve got a space that invites you to slow down, enjoy the surroundings, and settle into the Raglan way of life.

Hi, I’m Matt Williams. I’m a local Raglan resident and your host through Raglan Host Works. I love helping people feel relaxed and at home while they’re visiting this special part of the coast. When I’m not hosting, you’ll usually find me surfing, hiking the local tracks, or spending quiet time watercolour painting. I care deeply about Raglan’s natural environment and aim to host in a thoughtful, low-impact way that respects both the place and the people who live here. I’m always happy to help with local tips, recommendations, or anything you need to make your stay comfortable and easy. I hope you enjoy your time here as much as I enjoy living here.

Raglan is a laid-back coastal town that feels a little lost in time, in the best possible way. Known for its world-class surf breaks, rugged coastline, and strong connection to the ocean, it’s a place where days move slower and the outdoors sets the rhythm. Surfing and fishing are part of everyday life here, with beaches, points, and rock ledges just a short drive away. Between sessions, wander through the town’s cafés, galleries, and local shops — all full of character and that unmistakable small-town coastal charm. The property is located in Rangitahi, a quiet residential neighbourhood that feels peaceful and tucked away, while still being just minutes from the beach and town centre. It’s the perfect base to explore Raglan, then come home to calm views, fresh air, and a sense of space.
