Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Skydome Cottage sits in a sheltered valley on an acre of land, only 2 minutes drive to downtown Raglan, and approx 50 minutes drive to Hamilton. You can walk into the centre of town in 10-15 minutes. Please note Raglan is quite hilly, so if you have any mobility issues you may like to drive or we can offer you a lift into town if needed.

We have access to the beautiful Kaitoke walkway immediately next to the entrance to our land. Sky dome cottage looks out onto fruit orchards and vegetable gardens. It is set in a residential family area surrounded by greenery.
Raglan is reknown for it's stunning beaches which are close by and good for walking, surfing, kite surfing. The town beach at Kopua is a 5 minute( at most!) drive away or a 15 minute walk from our home.
