Franklin District Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Manu bay, Raglan. One of the good spot for surfing! Wave after wave :) so good in winter as well, fresh water..raimbows..not crowded...enjoy the waves and the view around you! ☀️❤️
Amazing Beach
I've always visited Port Waikato since I was a child. There's a lot of memories here, this is the most beautiful spot here!
Whether you’re looking for world-class surf, stunning scenery, beautiful beaches, inspiring arts or simply a good old cup of coffee, laidback Raglan offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Raglan is a beautiful surf town in northern New Zealand - to save a few pennies just camp on the beach and be sure to take a surfing lesson

Not good!! Booked a twin room but was given only one bed. No wifi provided. Common bathroom with only a single shower. Sink in room but no glassware. Very noisy bar downstairs. Emailed the owner but no response. Overall appalling. Will not be back. Not good!!

Comfortable stay. We had to pay for towels and sheets. We traveled from overseas and are not familiar with the setup of holiday parks in NZ. Having to pay for towels and sheets seemed strange.
