Cottage Calypso • Bach lumineux + Vue sur l'eau

Welcome to Calypso Cottage, the ultimate Kiwi bach experience! Tucked along picturesque Greenslade Road, this charming, vibrant cottage has water views from the front and mountain views from your own private deck out the back. A quick stroll down the path across the road brings you to the edge of Moonlight Bay, so you can swap the hustle and bustle for the laid-back Raglan lifestyle.

Step into the past and enjoy a true Kiwi beach getaway. There are two cosy bedrooms (a queen in the master with access to the back deck, and a second room with two single beds and its own sliding doors to the deck and garden), a bathroom with shower, toilet and vanity, and an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. Comfy sofas, a TV and bi-fold doors lead to the front deck. The classic 90s kitchen has an oven, cooktop, dishwasher and microwave, and there is a gas BBQ, a cafetiere and local plunger coffee. There is a washing machine in the garage, and fruit trees in the back garden to pick from.

We provide linen, towels, toiletries, tea, coffee, milk, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher powder, laundry powder and gas for the BBQ.

You will have the entire house and outdoor areas to yourselves.

Follow the public footpath across the road to Moonlight Bay, one of Raglan`s hidden treasures: great for a swim at high tide and a walk at low tide. Raglan is a short 5-minute drive away, with cafes, restaurants, craft shops and a supermarket. Surfers will love the big waves at world-famous Manu Bay, while Cox Bay and Lorenzen Bay suit swimming, kayaking and body boarding, and you might spot orcas. There is also bushwalking, golf, mini putt and fishing.
