You’ll find plenty of accommodation options, when planning a getaway to Raglan. Airbnb offers a wide range of private homes, baches, and unique stays across town. At the same time, Raglan Holiday Park provides a central base with facilities designed for families, groups, and travellers who want the convenience of being right by the water.
Here’s a look at how the two compare.
Location & Access
- Airbnb: Listings are spread throughout Raglan. Some offer privacy and views but may require driving to reach the beach or main attractions.
- Raglan Holiday Park: Located on a peninsula in the harbour, just a short stroll to the town centre and minutes from the beach. Guests have easy access to both the water and Raglan’s cafes and shops.
Price
- Airbnb: Generally more expensive, especially for full homes or larger spaces. Prices also vary by season, and extra fees such as cleaning and service charges are common.
- Raglan Holiday Park: Offers clear, upfront pricing for all options. Many of our guests find it more cost-effective for families or groups compared to renting an entire home.
Accommodation Options
- Airbnb: You can book everything from single rooms to entire homes, often suiting couples or smaller groups. Large group stays are possible but depend on availability.
- Raglan Holiday Park: Options range from tent and campervan sites to cabins, self-contained units, and group lodges. This makes it suitable for families, large gatherings, or travellers wanting a mix of comfort and camping.
Facilities
- Airbnb: Facilities vary depending on the property: some have full kitchens and modern amenities, while others are more basic. It comes down to the individual host and stay.
- Raglan Holiday Park: Offers consistent facilities across the park, including full kitchens, hot showers, BBQ areas, a games room, WiFi, and laundry. Guests also have access to outdoor areas, playgrounds, and BBQ’s.
Atmosphere
- Airbnb: Offers a more private, home-like experience, often with direct interaction with the host.
- Raglan Holiday Park: Has a community feel, with families, groups, and travellers sharing spaces. The relaxed atmosphere and shared facilities create opportunities to connect with others while still enjoying your own space to sleep.
