We had a great stay with our small family. The views were beautiful, the house so comfortable and had everything we needed to settle in and enjoy. Location was great too. Nothing we didn't like! Would stay again.

Location was amazing. The deck and outdoor furniture was great for dining and with BBQ facilities. Everything we need for cooking meals for the family was there. Even coffee for the plunger which was so appreciated.

Just the two single beds were a bit uncomfortable for the kids.

The view, fire, well equipped kitchen, warmth of the house, comfortable beds. Good pillows. Clear instructions, games, books, LP's etc made available.

Toilet (sliding) door is a bit tricky to manage.

the location

it was mid winter and the only heating was a fireplace. However, to get a fire going was very difficult because the wood provided was extremely wet. There should be a heat pump or similar heating provided, considering the prices charged.

The view Quiet place The fire place in the living area

No heatpump in 2 bedrooms and in the bathroom Old furniture and equipment

Great views from the living areas well equipped kitchen, fireplace, bath comfortable beds, all made for a great stay over a wet weekend in Raglan

Felt very homely, was very warm, appreciated kids games and drawing supplies, well stocked with everything we needed to cook our own meals etc.

Bed in bedroom overlooking the sea was not comfy, other double bed was. While it was acknowledged as part of the age of the building the external doors could be easilly fixed.

the view and access out to the estuary were nice (although you couldn't walk around the estuary any further than 1 house down)

appreciate it is a Lockwood bach which was not mentioned in the description but really does need some maintenance - the sliding door into the toilet is broken, both sliding doors out to the deck are really difficult to open, the front door doesn't close or lock easily, dining room chairs have no padding in the seat and with accommodation for 6 only 5 dining chairs provided. The outdoor deck is covered in tree seeds that become prickles and get stuck in your feet unless you sweep the deck every day. Take your own tea bags as tea leaves are provided with no teapot. Fly spray would be handy to take as well as well as kitchen scissors. As the crockery is old a few have cracks and tea stains in the cups.

the calmness, access to the water. It’s so comfortable. Has plenty of books to read. Record collection is amazing. There is not much not to like.

Missing curtains, no hairdryer

Location and outlook. Comfortable and well appointed

Some maintenance required on several door fittings

the view from the deck the doors opening out to the deck

The house is stunning. Beautiful view, the house was clean and had everything we needed. Louise was very nice and helpful. Thank you so much we had an amazing time!

The location by the sea.. The view from the deck and the large comfortable interior.

The house needs some TLC. The fridge was old and needs replacing. The sliding doors need fixing.

The location was great with the access to the beach - kept my teenagers very entertained.

I forgot how creaky lockwood homes are and that the walls are paper thin. There was no aircon and the bed in the main room was awful. The house needed a good clean on the floor and skirtings (and under furniture). There was a pair of old white man's underwear in the drawer of the corner room (now in cupboard in laundry). And other clothes over the rail outside.

The property is just on the beach with your own private access to the water. The view is breathtaking. There is a huge deck area for you to enjoy. Rooms are spacious and clean.

All the sliding doors and windows are difficult to open and close. Although a wide range of crockery were provided, they are old、dismatched and not clean. I had to wash them altogether before using.
