Hi there, I'm Kathy. My husband Brian and I, are blessed to be sharing a property with our daughter Latesha and her husband Dave, running the Raglan Rural Retreats business together. Newly renovated, you'll find The Homestead fresh & spacious. There are two bedrooms and one bathroom downstairs, and four bedrooms upstairs, with one en-suite bathroom (with bath-tub) and a separate toilet. The Homestead has WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen & laundry, large TV, indoor fireplace for cosy evenings, covered outdoor gazebo area with a brazier for toasting marshmallows, large BBQ, and pizza oven. You can help yourselves to the fruit trees and herb garden. We provide your first breakfast, featuring delicious local goodies like Raglan Food Co coconut yoghurt and Raglan Artisan Bread. Tea, coffee, juice, oat milk, and cooking basics are also provided. There is plenty of surrounding outdoor space, trees and greenery, and a nearby pond. You are a 2 minute drive from Te Uku's General Store & Roast Office coffee shop, and 10 minute drive from Raglan's township. If you have a larger group or event, you can enquire about booking the full Greenstone Retreat, including the three lovely self-contained cottages located around the property. The property is fully owned by a charitable trust, with all profits from accommodation bookings going towards projects to benefit Climate, Creatures, and Children's Literacy. We ask that you respect the space during your stay - this is not a place for loud parties, it's a space for reflection, connection with others and nature, and evenings spent chatting with friends around the brazier, admiring the stars.

Raglan is only a 10 minute drive away, with wonderful shops, cafes, and beaches. Winner of 'Most Beautiful Small Town in New Zealand', there is plenty to do including art galleries, surf lessons, hikes & nature walks, and activities like kayaking & rock climbing. There is a cute little 'Roast Office' coffee shop, petrol station, and General Store less than a minute's drive down the road if you need any supplies during your getaway.
