About this property
Solscape is intended to foster connection with one another and the natural world by providing a place for rest, rejuvenation, and playful inspiration. We are nestled on 10 acres at the foot of Mt Karioi with views over the Tasman Sea in Raglan, New Zealand, just a short walk from the world-famous surf of Manu Bay and Ngarunui Beach. Raglan has a distinct laid-back atmosphere and a diverse range of eateries to suit all tastes. The main street is lined with interesting shops selling a variety of bohemian arts and crafts. We are 2 hours south of Auckland and 40 minutes west of Hamilton, and are just a few kilometres from Raglan township on New Zealand's west coast. Relax in our varied up-cycled to modern lodgings, with options to suit all budgets. All caboose guests share communal restrooms, and beds are made up with high-quality linen. Best known for long peeling left-hand point breaks, Raglan also offers ideal conditions for beginners and novice surfers. Solscape Eco Retreat offers board and wet suit hire. Raglan is a premier kiteboarding destination in New Zealand, too. Because of Raglan's natural land formations, kiteboarding is possible in almost any wind direction. Raglan has several bush and beach walks, including Mt Karioi, Te Toto Gorge, and the stunning Bridal Veil Falls waterfall track. There are numerous other ways to connect with nature in Raglan, such as kayaking and horseback riding tours. On-site services include yoga classes, and a sauna and ice bath.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.
