Stayed 4 nights (mid Jan), so we could easily combine the best of everything - visiting family in the Hutt Valley while enjoying a relaxing, uninterrupted and private coastal retreat. Welcomed by friendly hosts, the studio is a perfect getaway, and set within close proximity to Raumati South’s quaint village and cafes, as well as the long, 'virtually deserted' stretch of beach, walking treks and cycleway, plus Coastlands for a slice of retail therapy. We highly recommend you try Lembas Cafe's iced coffee, savoury scones and award-winning burger, and be sure to make a reservation for the Lagoon Thai Restaurant in Raumati Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and only wish it could have been longer. We certainly hope to return.
