We loved our stay at the Ruapuke Retreat and would highly recommend it to others!!!
It was very quiet and peaceful with a lovely view of farm land and the ocean in the distance. The place was very clean, tidy and was well equipped with everything you need. Communication with the hosts was quick and efficient and we felt very at home.
Our kids thought it was very exciting being on a farm
We will definately be back. Thanks Evonne and Hardy 😀

Very nice, clean place, we enjoyed our stay except for one black aggressive dog who charged our son and barked at us anytime he was around. We contacted our host but she related the dog was a working farm dog. We love dogs and have had many but just wished this dog was put away while we stayed. Other than that it was a beautiful view and about 20-25 minutes from Raglan beach town.

What a awesome job they have done with the conversion of the woodshed, you’d hardly even know. Located at a beautiful spot with views of the ocean and farmland. Really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back another time.

Don't stay here if you like to pop down to the cafe for a coffee.
It is ideal if you prefer quiet (though the magpies might start up at 6am), and distant sea views ("over there between the land and the sky", said Basil Fawlty).
The rolling paddocks of green are picturesque. The beach nearby is wild and remote - black sand. It's great for walking, but not recommended for swimming.
5.0
Driving to this stay you pass rolling green pastures and then arrive atop a hill with a beautiful outlook over the dairy farm to the ocean beyond. The barn was super clean, nicely equipped and had large windows to enjoy the view. If you don’t mind driving a little away then this place is perfect. Tranquil and picturesque

Our family stayed a few days & loved our time there. Beautiful home, views, can’t fault anything. Thank you to the owners. Plan to return for the next holiday.

This property offers you everything you have at home and more. The house is very well equipped, properly isolated and warm(heatpump). The breath-takingly beautiful views is something we still miss (but we have had the opportunity to experience the beautiful views and lots of memories to treasure). The tranquil location is quite unique to this house.
Location wise, this property is a quick and comfortable drive into Raglan(nearest) and also the Bridal Veil Falls.
I highly recommend this bach to any family of four. It was quite an amazing experience which we will treasure for ever.

What a stunning view this place has! We had a lovely two nights stay. The stars are so stuning. Hosts are so friendly. Everything is just perfect. The beach is so close, only about 6 minutes drive, it was our son's first time seeing the ocean and playing on the beach. We had a great time, we definitely would come back.

Relaxing spot for a mini break away
Perfect spot to relax before and after tackling the bike ride up to the Te Uku wind farm and checking out Bridal Veil Falls. Close enough to Raglan to have fish and chips on the beach for tea and be home in time to appreciate the sun set

Simply Stunning
So much more than we expected. The most well equipped farm stay accommodation we have encountered by far. Completely private, spotlessly clean with comfy
couches and beds and stunning views. We stayed for 6 nights and would have stayed another 6 if we could. Hosts are easy to communicate with. Nice to know about this little gem!

Paradise in Ruapuke
This bach exceeded expectations. From the sounds of the animals to the stunning view, the woolshed is a perfect rural getaway. The kitchen is fully equipped with all essentials. Our visit took place in winter and the property was beautifully warm, featuring a heat pump and double glazed. A short distance from the Mount Karioi summit track and Ruapuke beach. Very clean and spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Excellent stay
We enjoyed our stay. Very relaxing, peaceful and all amenities were catered for. I rated a 4 star for the listing as I dont feel like you've listed as well as you could. The place was a lot bigger and brighter than the listing suggested. Raglan was a bit further than I thought it was, but that wasn't too much of an issue. A little disappointed the BBQ didn't work. Overall a lovely stay and we would definitely return.

A fantastic spot
A wonderfully transformed woolshed into a modern living space including a large window with captivating views - especially around sunset time. A great deck to appreciate more countryside views and to enjoy snacks, drinks or any meal you like. A perfect place for a small family if you want to get away from a hectic city life.

Excellent stay
We were looking for a place where we could rest and charge our batteries for this last part of the year. We found just that. Thank you for sharing your lovely place with us.

Quiet and cozy with beautiful views
We stayed for 3 nights at the wool shed and loved every bit of it. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, the bed in master bedroom is amazingly comfortable, the double glazing and insulation keep the place even in winter pretty warm and only little use of heat pump was required. The views are stunning. We hiked up Mt Karioi, Evonne and Hardy took the time out of their day to pick us up on the other site so we’ve been able to experience both tracks. Thanks so much, we would be back anytime!

Wonderful place - great stay
Ruapuke Retreat is a very well appointed accommodation - great set-up and extremely clean. The location is very peaceful with only the occasional farm sounds, and a great view across the hills to the ocean. Location is very good with Ruapuke Beach, Rainbow Falls, and Mt Karioi summit track nearby. A short 20 minute drive to Raglan town, and great cafes. Watching the sunset from Ruapuke Beach and kayaking Raglan harbour were our activity highlights. Owner was excellent to deal with. There is no Wifi but we used the opportunity to truly relax and enjoy each other’s company.
