About this property

Ahi at Koru Lodge – Private Spa Pool & Sea Views

Wake up to sea views and fall asleep to the sound of the surf at Ahi, a self-contained 2-bedroom apartment tucked into the Whale Bay hillside at Koru Lodge, just outside Raglan.

Ahi is built for easy indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, a private loft holds a queen bedroom; downstairs you'll find a king bed (splittable into twins on request), an open-plan lounge, dining area, and full kitchen. Step out to your own deck and soak in the private spa pool while the ocean and hills stretch out in front of you.

The kitchen comes fully equipped — stove, oven, fridge, dishwasher, and all the cookware you need — plus an outdoor BBQ for lazy dinners on the deck. A heat pump (with AC/aircon) keeps things comfortable year-round, and Wi-Fi and a Smart TV are on hand for downtime (note: no Sky/cable channels, and mobile signal can be patchy — part of the getaway charm).

Whale Bay and Indicator surf breaks are just a short walk away, making Ahi a great base for surfers and ocean lovers alike. Raglan town, with its cafés, restaurants, and shops, is about a 12-minute drive.

Ideal for couples, families, or small groups — and if you're travelling with a bigger crew, ask about booking alongside the neighbouring Whenua apartment, which shares an adjoining deck with equally stunning sea views.

40th Wedding Anniversary Break

We had a wonderful three nights at Koru Lodge. We were two couples celebrating our 40th wedding anniversaries. The location, view, apartment and owner were marvellous. Because we were so far out of town we have mentioned to the owner that it would have been great to have had small things like paper towels, tongs and enough plates but these could have moved to the other apartments as there had been a group of 20 people staying and they could have taken to other apartments. In no way did it deter from our incredible time in Raglan.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image

We're Bethany and Jaco — Bethany's from the US, Jaco's from Chile — and we've called Raglan home for over 15 years, raising our two young sons here along the way. Jaco chases Raglan's legendary waves whenever he gets the chance, and Bethany teaches yoga locally at The Space Yoga Studio. Hosting at Koru Lodge lets us share the relaxed coastal life we love with guests from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

Whale Bay drew us in with its wild, dramatic coastline and world-class surf right on the doorstep — Whale Bay and Indicators breaks are a short walk away, and Manu Bay is just minutes by car. Tucked between native bush and the sea, it still feels like a true escape, even though Raglan township, with its cafés and shops, is only 12 minutes away. It's the kind of place where the pace of life just slows down.

What makes this property unique

Ahi combines an elevated, sea-view setting with real privacy — including your own spa pool on a private deck, ideal for watching the light shift over the water. The split-level layout gives couples, families, or friends room to spread out, and the fully equipped kitchen and BBQ make it easy to settle in. Being part of Koru Lodge also means you're just steps from Whale Bay and Indicators, a rare mix of surf access and everyday comfort.
