Retreat into nature: secluded Raglan guest house at Barrelled Wines. Nature, hot tub, privacy and magical sunsets — this self-contained guest house with queen bed and all the modern amenities ticks all the boxes for a memorable getaway, just 30 minutes from charming Raglan township. Overlooking Ruapuke Beach and set within our private vineyard at the foothills of Mt Karioi, this is a unique opportunity to stay at a remote location without compromising on comfort. Foudre Suite is perfect for a romantic getaway, surf retreat or to experience Raglan’s outdoors. The space - With expansive views across lush native bush towards the ocean, you’ll take in the sound of breaking waves and abundant birdsong. Soak it all in under the stars from your private hot tub, enjoy warm west coast sunsets in summer or cosy up by the fire in winter with a glass of our bespoke, handcrafted wine (exclusively available to purchase from Barrelled Wines). With thoughtful design considerations, we’ve ensured your guest experience will be restful, including a fully-equipped kitchen with everything you need for a self-catered getaway. As we are some distance from any restaurants (Raglan is your closest town), we recommend coming prepared so you can embrace this opportunity to feel totally removed from the world! Tea and plunger coffee is provided, and our filtered tap water is safe to drink. A fan over the bed will keep you cool and comfortable on those hot nights. Winter travellers will love the wood-burning fireplace; there’s nothing like being cosied up to the fire with a view of the wild west coast outside your window. Limited reception offers a chance to disconnect, however free WiFi is available to guests. The room has a 50 inch TV with Netflix available for guest use. Foudre Suite is situated overlooking our small working vineyard. Planted in 2018, it consists of 1050 vines, mostly Syrah and Pinot Gris grapes. Ask us about our wine tasting, platters, and short tour options!

Like many kiwis, David, Haylee and their two daughters, Zoe and Elyse, have a strong connection to the sea. David enjoys looking after the vines and crafting wine, with any spare time spent surfing. As a healthcare professional Haylee has a passion for people. You’ll also see Kepa the horse meandering among the vines, and our friendly golden retriever, Daisy, is always happy to accept a few extra pats. We know many guests prefer to enjoy privacy, but if you’re looking for recommendations for activities and exploring, we love sharing our knowledge of the local area. We live in the main house next door and are usually available if needed - just message us or come up and knock on our door.

Remote rugged West Coast, known for it's great surfing, fishing, and hiking. While it’s a journey worth taking, there is 4km of gravel road to reach us. It adds to the charm of our remote location, but if you’re not comfortable with driving your vehicle on gravel, this may not be the right accommodation for you.
