Welcome to Raglan – a coastal gem that has earned its place on the world map as one of the most iconic surf destinations on the planet. Home to the famous Manu Bay, Raglan offers one of the longest left-hand breaks in the world, drawing surfers from every corner of the globe. From seasoned professionals chasing the perfect wave to beginners learning at Ngarunui Beach, Raglan’s surf culture is both legendary and welcoming.
But Raglan is more than just waves. The town blends its laid-back surf lifestyle with stunning natural beauty, from black-sand beaches and rolling green hills to spectacular waterfalls like Bridal Veil Falls. Add in a thriving arts community, boutique shops, and vibrant cafés, and you’ll see why Raglan is loved by travellers seeking both adventure and relaxation.
Our holiday home at 2a Marine in Raglan, New Zealand is a near-new, spacious and modern executive-style property with stunning harbour views. The location is fantastic — just a short walk to town via the campground and footbridge, and only minutes by car to Raglan’s beaches and surf. It’s a comfortable and stylish base to relax, unwind, and enjoy everything Raglan has to offer.
