Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I stayed at Ocean View on my own as a solo traveller. Amanda and Adam were so welcoming and friendly and made me feel right at home. The rooms were super clean and beds very comfortable, great showers too! Breakfast was included and all I can say is WOW... those croissants are out of this world (still dreaming of them!) Another bonus to the bnb was their location.. 10 minute walk to the town (main bars and restaurants) and a 10minute drive to the main surf beach. I will be back :-)

We stayed for 2 nights, great sized room with own toilet & wash basin & 2 shared showers between 4 room also shared tea & coffee area. Have not done this sort of room before but is was really good, all areas are super clean with everything that you need. Beds were very comfortable, nice outdoor area to sit & read, spa if you want, communal modern sitting room with Lounge & TV & outside area for drinks overlooking the sea.
Breakfast was very nice & Adam & Amanda were great hosts with good advice for place to visit & restaurants. Would love to come back to this B & B & area of Raglan 😃

Fantastic little B&B Motel.. Myself and my wife stayed over long weekend. Owners Adam & Amanda so welcoming.. Gave us great tips and places to go.. Room was amazing(Room 7) , beautiful views of the ocean and harbour.. The room itself was perfect, every little thing you needed was there. We loved it had no TV as gets you and about and peaceful when relaxing! Lovely Spa that you book and owners provided nice plastic glasses so we could have a drink in it.. Every little thing you could think of was available tea/coffee/biscuits/towels shampoo/conditioner etc. Also had big common room where you could chill and also chat to others.. Breakfast was lovely with best croissants ever! Overall, absolutely value for money and we will be back! :)

We booked this b&b for one night (23/6) via booking.com.when we reached there at around 2:30pm no body was there. It looked like a ghost place. We rang the bell,knock the door went all over the property. No sign of anyone. We called the person , reached the voice-mail. We left msg and text nothing at all. And we were travelling with 2 little kids. When there was no response at all, we decided to look around called few places and fortunately got one place to stay ( thank God it was a wk day).
Next day when we were on our way to Whanganui , a lady called us from this b&b and saying that she is waiting for us. She was in a lalaland definitely, didn't had a clue that booking was for 23rd not for 24th. How they are doing business I have no idea!!
Just a request to these people don't do it to the people. We were fortunate enough to get a place same day. People with kids and babies have many other things to do.dont spoil it.
Will not recommend to anyone!!👿

We stayed at Ocean View on the way to and on the way back from Womad 2020. Raglan makes a great stop between Auckland and New Plymouth. Amanda and Adam gave us a great welcome. We had an ocean view room which was clean, quiet and comfortable. The shared bathroom was scrupulously clean and the shower was a beauty.. breakfast is continental style with goid coffee and .. yay.. vegemite. and served in a dining room with an amazing view. We met some really cool fellow travellers.

We love coming here..great hosts, comfortable clean rooms and a homelike ambiance.

A winner. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Three of us have just spent 3 nights here - thoroughly recommend especially if you want somewhere a little quieter in the off season. Excellent facilities including all the little extras like access to tea coffee and bikkies - a complimentary spa you can book, outdoor verandah spaces, cosy shared living and dining. Thank you to Adam and Amanda who were perfect hosts.

Amanda and Adam are extremely helpful and kind/accommodating. We stayed for two nights in a room that shared two bathrooms (something I didn't realize but it worked out just fine). The property is very conveniently located (walkable) to the charming town center and the views from it are exceptional. Definitely recommend this option if you are shopping for a stay in Raglan!

I stayed with my adult daughter in Rm 7 for 2 nights and experienced very comfortable beds with a lovely view of the estuary from our room. Also had the same view from the dining room with a continental breakfast (included) highlight being the delicious croissants. Hosts were friendly and helpful and would happily stay again. Bathrooms are shared but nearby and very clean.

The rooms clean but dated. However, we were kept awake until 1030 by shouting kids and loud talking. Not much sound proofing between walls! Breakfast was pleasant but ran out...my husband didn’t get anything besides some toast and half a cup of leftover yoghurt. The male host is friendly. Female host is a nightmare - sour face and rude demeanour. It’s a nope from us!!!
