Raglan Apartment | WaveCatcher Whale Bay Surf Studio Flat

1 Bedroom Apartment in Raglan, Waikato District

This studio flat is a surfer's dream in Whale Bay with the famous Indicators and Manu Bay surf breaks at your doorstep. Beautifully presented with a rustic and quirky theme, tucked away in a tropical garden with views of the ocean peeking through the trees. Situated below the main house, with its own private entrance and spacious outdoor courtyard. A peaceful haven to relax and unwind.
An ideal place for a surf trip, romantic getaway or writer’s retreat, the interior has been designed with an eclectic decor and bright, quirky art. The kitchen has a gas cooker, a microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee plunger, pots and pans and all the utensils you might need to create a post-surf feast or romantic dinner. There is a good size fridge/freezer. The bathroom is spacious and light with a shower and a washing machine and is surrounded by native bush for your privacy. You can choose to dine inside or outside and the courtyard is equipped with a portable barbecue and storage for surf boards. Fresh linen, soaps and shampoo are all provided. The garden is lush and tropical and filled with the sound of the ocean waves and native birds which surrounds your private space and our resident Moreporks often visit at night.
The night sky is incredible and worth staying up to enjoy a clear view of the stars. The studio is a 10-15 minute drive from the Raglan township which is a lovely escape from the summer crowds.
Whale Bay Reserve is a two minute stroll to check the surf and the famous Indicators and Outsides is a 5 minutes walk over the rocks with Manu Bay a 7 minute walk up the road. Ruapuke beach is a 25 minute drive around the mountain, a perfect spot to watch the sunset.
Fresh linen, soaps and shampoo are all provided.

Summary: We spent 4 nights with my partner and really enjoyed it, the location is great, the house is great, it can get a bit dark inside during the day but on a sunny/hot day you will love it :)
Jonathan N. Mar 9, 2021 10:59:28 PM
Summary: My wife and I had a very enjoyable and restful five day stay at Deborah's comfortable and quirky studio flat. The surrounding garden is protected and has a tropical feel which we liked a lot. Being a surfer, the location couldn't be better. Deborah was a great host, being very relaxed, friendly and helpful. We have no hesitation in recommending this great spot to others. Jonathan & Carol

Stephen P. Jan 14, 2021 12:20:42 PM
Summary: We were looking for a few restful days at the beach. The studio is short distances from two popular beaches but has just a glimpse of the sea. A couple of old crocks found the steep drive and steps rather challenging but the effort proved worthwhile, the studio itself was just the ticket and was all that we had wished for..
