Vacation rentals in Waipa River

Staying at this house in Raglan was a true escape from time. From the moment I walked in, I felt an incredibly peaceful atmosphere, as if the outside world had simply faded away. The house itself is a rare gem: warm, welcoming, and instantly making you feel at home and at ease. Every detail seems thoughtfully designed to inspire deep relaxation. And the view… absolutely magical. A truly special place, perfect for anyone seeking to recharge their batterie. A huge thank you to Muzz, who went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable, even setting up the spa for me at the last minute!

We had an amazing time at the Joannes place. It is such a peaceful and relaxing location , I spent hours looking out at the view and watching the birds. Joanne also provided a bunch of complimentary treats which was a really nice touch to the stay. If you’re looking for an escape for reality this is the place to go! Look forward to coming back some day :)

Very beautiful location. A rustic but super comfortable space. The bed was brilliant and the house was lovely and warm, especially with the fire going! The fire heated outdoor bath was sensational and we loved relaxing down by river edge. We’ll be back!

Bow Street Studios was the perfect spot for our one night stay in Raglan. Tucked away at the bottom of the main street it was perfectly placed for a short walk for a potter in the lovely independent shops, or to have food at one of the delicious restaurants. The accommodation was clean and cosy, with lovely outside space and balcony. Wished we could have stayed longer.

A peaceful, private residence that is easy to find and get into, close to the city but very quiet rural area. Hot tub is perfect and the place very clean, tidy and new fittings. Bed is comfy with good quality sheets!

We loved our time here. Sharlene was helpful and we had no problems finding the house or while we were there The kitchen was supplied with so many extras including basic food items and cooking equipment etc. All the bedrooms were super comfortable and overall we felt totally at home. A special family time for us all. It rained the whole time we were there but we embraced the quiet and loved the bird life. A family of Tuis in the enormous Puriri tree kept us entertained! I would totally recommend to anyone.

I had an amazing stay at Tineke's place! The location was perfect, with easy access to local attractions and a peaceful quiet atmosphere. The Beach batch was very clean, well-equipped, and exactly as described in the listing. The King bed was super comfortable & spacious, and I loved the nature touches, Tineke was an excellent communicator, always responsive and helpful with any questions I had. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. Overall, I felt very welcome and comfortable during my stay. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a homely, luxurious and convenient spot with stunning veiws of all points in Raglan!

Fabulous little cottage with everything we needed. Kitchen was tiny but practical - fun cooking toast and boiling the kettle on the gas hob. We really enjoyed doing the Misty Mountain hikes around the covenants on the farm - was a challenging path (especially for our 5 year old) but a great adventure with amazing views

Just wow, absolutely breathtaking location, surrounded by pure nature, water views, the sunsets are a sight to see!, the star gazing was a bonus, thank you Penny!
