Raglan Palm Beach Motel  

On Raglan’s waterfront, a classic surf-town motel right on the beach. Raglan Palm Beach Motel is within a 5‑minute drive of Raglan & District Museum and Old School Arts Centre, about 0.8 mi from Raglan Golf Club and close to Ngarunui Beach and Manu Bay. The town centre is walkable; Hamilton is roughly 45 minutes away and Auckland Airport about 2 hours. Pet-friendly, self-contained beachfront motel.

Think 1970s Kiwiana 'batch' vibes with laid-back seaside charm. Eight self-contained units feature kitchenettes with refrigerator and stovetop, microwaves, coffee/tea makers, flat-screen TVs and private patios. Housekeeping is limited to keep things relaxed. Guests can launch kayaks and paddleboards from the lawn and soak in the spa pool at the water’s edge.

Spa pool/hot tub on the water’s edge, free kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, BBQ and picnic areas, terrace and garden, concierge and tour desk to arrange surf lessons, kayak tours, harbour cruises and more. Babysitting is available for a surcharge — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and step straight into Raglan’s surf scene.

Complimentary wireless internet (free Wi‑Fi). Front desk staffed during limited hours. Roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge (limited hours) and free self-parking onsite. Laundry and concierge services available.

Kitchenettes make self-catering simple — bring groceries or fire up the on-site BBQ and picnic on the lawn. Stroll into town for a good cup of coffee and local cafés and eateries.
