Welcome to our peaceful guest suite at the top of Rangitahi, one of Raglan’s most scenic and popular neighborhoods. Architecturally designed by the owner, this brand-new, fully self-contained studio blends urban comfort with a relaxed coastal vibe. Enjoy stunning views of Mount Karioi and unforgettable sunsets from your private deck. It also offers walking access to a tennis court, basketball court, and a local café. A perfect retreat for those who love nature, comfort, and a touch of adventure. Casa Karioi is located on the same property as our main home, but with no children or pets nearby, ensuring a quiet and peaceful stay. The guest house features one bedroom on the ground floor with a queen-size bed and a bathroom. There is a small kitchen with 2 induction plates and microwave, and all kitchenware, as well as a small living/dining area. There is space for up to 2 extra guests on the mezzanine. While there is currently no mattress there, you’re welcome to bring your own mats or airblown mattresses. Additional guests can stay for an extra fee.

I'm Davide, originally from Italy & now lucky to call Raglan, New Zealand home – a little slice of paradise. I live here with Sandra, my Peruvian partner & architect, who designed both our home & the guest house we’re hosting. I love surfing, traveling & cooking (yes, pizza is serious business!). We enjoy sharing our peaceful corner of Aotearoa with guests from around the world.

Guests love Raglan’s laid-back vibe, where surf culture meets stunning coastal scenery. Rangitahi is perfectly positioned between Raglan’s beaches, world-class surf breaks, and the charming town center, making it easy to enjoy both the coast and the town’s amenities. It’s just 6 minutes from Raglan town and 9 minutes from the main beach. Explore cafes, bars, and art shops in town: grab the best organic coffee at Indi for a chill, happy vibe, or head to The Shack for a quality full breakfast or lunch. For dining in and cocktails, Ulo’s or Iso Bistro are local favorites. If you’re after a quick and delicious takeaway, try Piace Pizza or Pasta Paradiso. With views of Mount Karioi and a relaxed coastal atmosphere, Rangitahi is the perfect base for your adventures. Enjoy!
