Lovely place to stay the view was AMAZING!!!!The place was so clean and tidy just loved it!!!The only thing was if the hedge could be cut to half the size you would get a better view of the ocean from downstairs.Would definitely love to stay there again…….

Peaceful & perfectly presented

Couldn’t fault it! Perfect place to stay, relax & catch up with friends. Very close to the trail head of Mt Kariori hike- so that was a bonus. Thanks to the rental manager Julls for her assistance with everything- so smooth & helpful!!! Highly recommend 😊

Great bach

Very relaxing stay at this fantastic bach.Everything as described. It would be great if the hedge was trimmed a bit lower so you could see more of the view.A washing machine would also be helpful.

A real jewel in a beautiful setting. Tawa Whare was the perfect place to share time with family during our son's wedding in Raglan. We ended up also renting the two associated studios which easily handled our large group of 11 adults. Julls anticipated all of our needs and made the stay, especially smooth. The surrounding bush forest and sounds of the waves created a perfect peaceful setting. We all highly recommend Tawa Whare.
