raglan backpackers always exceeds my expectations. the cleanliness is impressive, from the toilets to the kitchen. the staff is friendly and helpful, and the hammocks in the garden are a lovely touch. the added bonus of a sauna and hot tub is a great perk!

No locks on shared room doors.

The value for money at this hostel was great, with comfortable rooms and convenient facilities like the hot tub and sauna. The location was perfect, right in the center of town and close to shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making our stay enjoyable.

The hotel breakfast could have been improved with more variety and options.

The vibe at this hostel is super friendly and chill. the beautiful surroundings with palm trees, hammocks, and a hot tub create a perfect Raglan atmosphere. the well-equipped kitchen and close proximity to shops and restaurants make it convenient. Facilities like slacklines and a pizza oven are a cool bonus for those seeking a laid-back experience.

Felt very welcomed, nothing to complain about.

Lots of activities available for rental, convenient location by the shore and town, great amenities including hammocks, hot tub, sauna, and discounts on yoga classes. the hostel is clean, with a good wifi policy, strong signal, and a well-equipped kitchen. the staff is caring and friendly.

Felt exceptional, nothing to complain about.

The room had 3 beds. The spa in the inner courtyard was good. The kitchen and dining room were okay. The bus stop was nearby. The reception employees were kind. Well located near the water. A good hostel.

We loved staying at this hostel in Whaingarora -Raglan! the location was perfect, just a short walk to the town centre and amazing coffee. the rooms were ideal for a weekend getaway or a central location for a holiday. We met so many people from Aotearoa and all over the world. the dining and lounge had breathtaking views of Mount Pirongia. We also appreciated the availability of surfing gear and transport to the beach. a great location with a cozy, hostel atmosphere.

Felt spoiled, no complaints.

Great location in the heart of town with easy access to bars, restaurants, and the estuary. The hostel offers a shared kitchen that is well-equipped and clean. They also have a jacuzzi and sauna, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

Although the bathrooms were generally clean, the floors could have been cleaner. there were some minor maintenance issues, such as falling curtains in the room, that could easily be fixed for a better experience.

Great location near the beach and town. Loved the activities offered and the availability of a spa pool.- Really enjoyed the courtyard in the middle of the rooms.- Surf racks inside and ample space to hang wetsuits.- Friendly staff who were helpful and accommodating

Limited number of showers, could use a few more. Some cleanliness issues in the bathrooms.

Super chill and friendly staff, great location within walking distance to town. Rooms and facilities were very clean during our stay. Lots of activities to choose from. Home away from home feeling.

No security and not enough parking. the knives in the kitchen were blunt.

Pos: Raglan Backpackers is a great place to stay if you're into surfing. They provide boards for guest use, and the location is perfect, sandwiched between the water and the main street. It's just a short stroll to shops, bars, cafes, and even a pub. the hostel also has a comfortable lounge and a good-sized kitchen. I especially enjoyed the enclosed courtyard area, it was a really cool concept. the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is fantastic, with good vibes from long-term guests. Plus, the free hot tub and sauna amenities are a definite bonus. The wifi is reliable and the overall facilities are impressive. Cons: Could not be improved in any way. 🌟.

Relaxed atmosphere, waterfront location, helpful staff. Large hot tub, surf gear and bike rental available. Clean and comfortable beds, common areas cleaned daily.
