About this property
Relax & Unwind at Wainui Creek Retreat a private & tranquil home near the beach
A peaceful, secluded spot surrounded by trees and a stream, just minutes from Manu Bay. Walk to the main beach, surf, or relax on the decks, in the cedar hot tub, by the outdoor fireplace, or in the rustic sauna. The house and grounds are full of character, with leafy gardens, birdlife, and a sheltered outdoor lounge and dining area for enjoying your stay in Raglan.
Set on a large organic lifestyle property close to the surf points and main beach, the house offers plenty of privacy, established trees, and little corners to explore. There’s space to spread out, relax, and enjoy being surrounded by nature while still being only minutes from town and the beach.
