Linen Fee: Your quotation is based on full occupancy of 12 guests @ $25/person/stay, however this will depend entirely on number of guests ie 4 guests totals = $100/stay, linen fee is optional, please state on your request if you wish to have linens supplied, or not.

Please note the following:
2 night minimum stay
3 night minimum stay over Easter and Labour weekends
5 night minimum stay over New Year period (tariff rate over this peak time is based on full occupancy), please enquire within

Please note: As of 1st April 2024, "Goods and Service Tax" (gst) has been incorporated into your pricing. The "host" fee equates to both cleaning fee and linen fee (linen fee is based on full occupancy of 6 guests). If fewer than 6 guests I will adjust your quotation accordingly, based on number of guests which will show in your quotation.

Great location
This house is a fantastic location if you are in Raglan to surf. The house was nice and clean, with plenty of space. Julls was a great host, giving us access a bit early as soon as the place was ready after the last guests, and quick with replies to any questions I had. Would happily stay here again.

We were three families staying with adult children, enjoying Easter together
It was a lovely, clean and warm home, and large enough to lodge 12 adults. It is very close to the sea if you love surfing. Our only disappointment was that a hot tub is on the Bookabach description and there was no hot tub to be found.

Mums & Kids Getaway to Raglan
Our stay was lovely & the house was perfect in size for our group of friends & kids . The location was great to 😊 Unfortunately the big room with the single beds had an interesting smell to it & there was quite a few cockroaches in that room but no other rooms in the house. One of the smoke alarms went off due to low battery to in early hours of Monday morning . Overall we loved our stay and would definitely recommend. Had all the facilities and space we required to make everyone’s stay a comfortable and enjoyable one. Julls is a fantastic host , very easy to liaise with & kept us well informed on Raglan & updated on road closures and travel alternatives.

The home was large, open and a delight to stay at. Even though it could get cold, heaters in all the rooms took care of that. Just a cool place to relax in. Close to the surf and quick drive to everywhere.
