About the property

Solscape is intended to foster connection with one another and the natural world by providing a place for rest, rejuvenation, and playful inspiration. We are nestled on 10 acres at the foot of Mt Karioi with views over the Tasman Sea in Raglan, New Zealand, just a short walk from the world-famous surf of Manu Bay and Ngarunui Beach. Raglan has a distinct laid-back atmosphere and a diverse range of eateries to suit all tastes. The main street is lined with interesting shops selling a variety of bohemian arts and crafts. We are 2 hours south of Auckland and 40 minutes west of Hamilton, and are just a few kilometres from Raglan township on New Zealand's west coast.
Relax in our varied up-cycled to modern lodgings, with options to suit all budgets. All caboose guests share communal restrooms, and beds are made up with high-quality linen.
Best known for long peeling left-hand point breaks, Raglan also offers ideal conditions for beginners and novice surfers. Solscape Eco Retreat offers board and wet suit hire.
Raglan is a premier kiteboarding destination in New Zealand, too. Because of Raglan's natural land formations, kiteboarding is possible in almost any wind direction.
Raglan has several bush and beach walks, including Mt Karioi, Te Toto Gorge, and the stunning Bridal Veil Falls waterfall track. There are numerous other ways to connect with nature in Raglan, such as kayaking and horseback riding tours.
On-site services include yoga classes, and a sauna and ice bath.

    Great value little escape/hideaway with amazing views

    Liked : Great little escape/hideaway staying in quirky old trains and cabins, actually surprisingly comfortable but basic. Gorgoeous outlook over the sea and perfect little sauna/hot/cold plunge if you enjoy that plus 9am daily yoga (extra charges). Location difficult to get to without a car and up steep hill but most people have these in this region.

    Disliked : No staff available on check in at 3pm. No towels provided. Limited cafe opening + poor plug access in rooms. overloaded plugs in kitchen area. Kitchen area could do with being a bit cleaner, nowhere to easily get clean tea towels to dry dishes.

    Stunning views

    Liked : Tranquil with stunning views. Our little caboose was cosy and comfortable. The attached sauna area was a magical way to spend an evening overlooking the sea.

    Disliked : The showers could be improved on. It is important to have your own transport as it is a bit away from the local town. The sauna evenings would be more enjoyable if less people were permitted at one time.

  • NicolaNew Zealand · 30 Dec 2025 8Very good

    Liked : Great Sauna, and met some lovely people. Nice and quiet in the evening. The room wasn't organised very well. Bed was good but no space to put your bags or hang up things.

    Disliked : Layout organised so that you could organise your clothes and towels and toiletries

    • Queen Room with Shared Bathroom
  • AlannahIreland · 7 Oct 2025 9Exceptional

    Liked : Gorgeous space! Amazing views of the ocean and so close to the surf! Cabins were perfect to sleep in (not a huge amount of space within the cabin but lots of communal spaces)
    They’ve also just opened an incredible new sauna/ice bath overlooking the water & mountains!
    Perfect place to escape & completely relax! Wish we had had more time!

    Disliked : Only negative is there’s no plugs in the rooms themselves so something just to be aware of. (Plenty of plugs in common areas)

    It was a great place to reconnect with nature and with myself

    Liked : I loved Solscape because it was the best option for me to visit Raglan without having to stay in the town. Close to the beach and surrounded by nature.

    Disliked : Maybe having a WiFi would help greatly the guests. In any case I got mobile data from Spark and it worked well there.

    A must stay!

    Liked : I loved that our cabins were close to the communal area, the old school fire place we sat there and my family played the guitar that was there and sang songs , no TV was great cause we got to spend more time together, the view was beautiful and the sunset at manu bay down from accommodation and sunrise at solscape was so beautiful, rooms were warm and so cute, town was only 10mins away. Really enjoyed our stay thankyou
