When it comes to wow-factor locations, this cottage delivers on every level. Nestled into Raglan’s premier Rose St hillside, Tawatahi Cottage is quaint and unassuming, but this hidden gem is sure to surprise and delight. With uninterrupted panoramic water views, sun-drenched living area & a relaxed, inviting interior, this cottage provides an idyllic solo retreat or couples’ escape for those looking for some blissful time out.
Inside this cute and quirky cottage, the pared-back coastal theme, with cool whites and calm oceanside blues create a light-filled, cosy and intimate space, the perfect spot for reading a book or simply admiring the stunning views. The large corner lounge suite provides the comfiest of places to kick back and watch the ever-changing kiwi weathers as they roll across the ocean. And on those hot summers days, throw open the french doors to enjoy your extended living and outdoor entertaining space.
The fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, oven, stovetop and fridge/freezer looks across the open plan dining and living room with an indoor dining table that can seat up to 4 people. Or take advantage of the generous, elevated deck with solid wood dining table and enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner with ocean vistas as your backdrop.
There are two good sized bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed, bedside tables, night reading lights and 4 drawers tallboy so you can unpack and settle in as if you were right at home.
The toilet is a `cottage type` room that is inside the house, but has a `rustic outhouse feel` with corrugate iron walls and a sliding door for privacy.
Please note that the clawfoot bath is currently out of order for use as a bath, it is shower only.
Please note that the Master bedroom is accessed via the Queen bedroom, but has its own door and can be closed off for privacy.

Raglan has something for everyone. And this home is ideally located to explore the local area.
Surfers will love the big waves at world-famous Manu Bay. Nearby Cox Bay and Lorenzen Bay are great spots for swimming, kayaking and body boarding or just relaxing in the sunshine. You may even get lucky and spot one of the orcas that regularly come to visit the bays.
Also on offer in Raglan is fantastic bushwalking, golf, mini putt and, of course, plenty of fishing.
The vibrant café and arts scene in Raglan township is just a short drive away. There’s a wealth of delicious dining options to choose from, along with specialist arts and crafts shops to explore. Also within easy reach are the supermarket and shopping facilities.
Do as much or as little as you want – the choice is yours. Raglan is a fantastic holiday destination any time of year.
Due to the natural settling of the home`s piles over time, some of the floors have a slope. This is a common characteristic of older properties and does not affect the structural integrity of the home. The house has been thoroughly assessed and deemed safe for guests by a qualified builder.

Please note that the Master bedroom is accessed via the Queen bedroom, but has its own door and can be closed off for privacy.
Please note there is a large step up to the bedrooms and step up into the laundry and toilet area so this property wouldn’t be suitable for those that require a level entry. The shower is over a claw foot bath, so again not ideal for those that need a level entry.

The quirky cottage vibes are continued with the slanting floors in all the rooms.
There is parking for 1 car only in the driveway/carport, so we do recommend driving together if possible. Please note that the carport/driveway is quite steep and small so not suitable for vehicles with low clearance or tall vehicles. An additional car can sit on the grass verge just past the driveway, on left, but this park often gets taken by the public during the busy summer months.
