Wake to the smell of locally roasted coffee, and enjoy your first cup as we make your breakfast. Choose either the Continental Breakfast* consisting of homemade bread, locally produced spreads, and an array of teas, or something from our Home Cooked Breakfast Menu for those after something more hearty. Yummy seasonal smoothies, daily free range eggs, farmhouse french toast…
Raglan Farmstay has been kept small and intimate so that each guest can be properly looked after and treated to a comfortable stay. There is space to retreat on our extensive grounds or socialize with other guests in our family style living areas. The shed beds sleepout is ideal for the travelling single or a group of friends looking for alternative accommodation. It features six single beds with linen and bedding supplied. Like all our other rooms, guests are entitled to a continental breakfast in the morning using local and organic produce where possible. Hi-speed wireless internet is available at an extra cost.
We welcome you to relax on our newly completed sun soaked deck overlooking the harbour and Karioi mountain, or put your feet up in the sunroom curled up with a good book from our library. Otherwise explore the Raglan area with our tips of secret spots and special deals with local adventure activity operators.

Raglan Kopua Holiday Park
Marine Parade, Raglan

The Raglan Kopua Holiday Park is set in a beautiful peninsula location bordered by the Raglan harbour on one side and the tidal estuary on the other. It is adjacent to Raglan township with 7-day shopping. Of recent times the town has boasted the addition of many new restaurants, cafes and shops. Raglan has continued to grow in popularity over the last 5 to 10 years without losing its old world charm.
Year round the Holday Park has become a mecca for tourists and visitors alike. Its easy access to the town either by road or picturesque walk-bridge coupled with the beautiful location has made the camp ground an extremely popular spot for holiday or weekend breaks. Private plane owners fly into the Raglan airfield which is just 100 metres from the camp and stay in our comfortable units.
Raglan Kopua Holiday Park is also the gateway to other Raglan holiday attractions, such as the beautiful Bridal Veil Falls, Manu Bay, a surfer’s paradise – which boasts the world famous left-hand break, bush walks or climbing Mt Karioi to harbour fishing and an 18-hole golf course.
The Holiday Park has 200 caravan sites, 100 non-powered sites, 3 cabins, 7 Tourist Flats, 4 Brand New Park Motels, and Bunk Room/Backpacker accommodation which suits large schools/groups and has sleeping for up to 60 persons.

Karioi Lodge is a backpacker fairly close to the surf at Whale Bay. Solscape incorporating the Raglan YHA is close to the surf at Manu Bay. Both of these backpackers will pick you up in Raglan and take you to their accommodation. I’m not aware of anybody that does a free service to Raglan – Auckland Airport. There is a shuttle that does that route. See our Getting to Raglan page
