The Queenslander Raglan. Modern and spacious 80 sqm apartments, with two king size bedrooms in each apartment, sleeping up to four people in each apartment, with inviting and stylish open plan living areas, opening out onto alfresco dining areas with BBQs. Bring only yourself: we provide everything you need - commercial grade quality linens, a full kitchen with all mod con appliances and full sized fridge/freezers. Our beautiful 1950s building is a grand old dame that we absolutely love. She is distinct and unique in the Raglan architecture scene, and which is reminiscent of the Queenslander style homes found in Australia. We have deliberately designed the interiors with a retro Californian surf beach vibe of yesteryear: modern, yet noticeable touches of beautifully restored mid-century furniture and retro artworks that appeal to so many of our many visitors. Even better, the Queenslander Raglan is a short and easy two minute stroll away from the Raglan township, where you will find all of Raglan's best cafes, art galleries, supermarkets, the Raglan harbour and estuary beaches, the Harbourview Hotel pub and tonnes of other great Raglan nightlife. Check out our photos and come see for yourself!

Not everyone realises that the Raglan surf beaches are located approximately 10 kilometres out of the Raglan township. While there is some accommodation by the surf beaches, those guests still have to have a car and drive into Raglan township for supermarkets, cafes, art galleries, dining and nightlife entertainment as it's simply too far to walk and is over the very narrow Wainui Rd one-lane bridge.
So stay with us at The Queenslander Raglan! Many of our guests drive out to the surf points at Manu and Whale Bays to catch the waves in the early morning, then they drive back to us at The Queenslander Raglan for breakfast and those gorgeously coloured sunrises over the easterly mountain range. Alternatively, you can spend all day at the beach and come back to experience the famous West Coast sunset with your own pre-dinner cocktails and nibbles, BBQ dinner, or whatever you like. Afterwards, there's the famous Raglan nightlife and entertainment to enjoy just a short walk away, including Raglan's famous local pub grub and which hosts great bands and DJs, including the famous Yot Club on Sundays. So when you stay with us, there's no need to take risks with drinking and driving.
The Queenslander Raglan offers free guest parking and free fast speed WIFI. Book now to avoid disappointment. Call us on 021 544623 to check availability and for all direct bookings.
Eco-Friendly & Manaakitanga
Eco-Friendly & Manaakitanga
At The Queenslander Raglan, we are all about restoring beautiful old architecture and furniture, maintaining and sustaining the precious Raglan coastal and surrounding land environment, and protecting New Zealand's coastlines, waters, flora and fauna from overuse and abuse. Nor do we just pay lip service to our indigenous Maori people. EVERYTHING we do is with tangata whenua Maori and manaakitanga at the forefront: kindness, hospitality, respect and care for others and Aotearoa through our actions.
Our goal is to eliminate single use plastic and to repurpose and restore naturally produced products, such as wood, wherever possible. That doesn't mean we have old and tired apartments and furnishings. No way! We have deliberately designed our property and apartments to honour the past, i.e. those who have gone before us, and to be very unique: incorporating the modern with the old in a sustainable way. Our purpose is not to be an ultra modern property: while looking aesthetically pleasing for a few years, date quickly, have no air flow through the heavy use of air conditioning, look boringly the same as the next door property, and are full to the brim with very environmentally unfriendly and often very hidden plastics, that's simply not good for your health or our precious New Zealand environment. Our mission therefore is for our apartments to be healthy, nostalgic, respectful to everyone and everything, memorable and bring absolute joy to those guests who chose to stay with us.
We believe we have achieved that!
We have proudly and lovingly restored an original beautiful 1950s gem from Raglan's past, and which reflects the cool, laidback surf lifestyle of days gone by that we all love. We have planted, painted, renovated and restored. Our garden and orchard is full of happy birds, bees, New Zealand native trees, and year round fruit producing trees and plants. Our guests get to sample some of our orchard produce year round through our continental breakfast. Our interior design is carefully crafted and designed around the 1960s and '70s Californian and Venice Beach surf culture and lifestyle. To achieve this we have combined contemporary furnishings with beautifully restored mid-century pieces, alongside New Zealand and Californian surf art that provides guests with happy memories of yesteryear and the great New Zealand beach bach.
Our guests simply adore it, and so do we.
