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.

  • HarperUnited States · Feb 6, 2025 9Exceptional

    Liked : The location and views are great! Lots of lovely common spaces and a well stocked kitchen. While it’s a little isolated, there is a public bus stop right across the street so it is still easy to get to and you can walk to the main surfing beach.

    Disliked : The top bunk beds are basically on the ceiling and the caboose can get really hot when it’s hot outside.

  • EstefyChile · Mar 18, 2024 9Exceptional

    Liked : The place is beautiful, the view is privileged and the common spaces are very comfortable, the double room offers a lot of privacy, the surroundings are very nice. Removed from the town center you must have a car to get around and stock up on food

    Pleasant hostel experience

    Liked : The property is beautiful and has a great view of the ocean. Welcoming staff and guests. Facilities were clean for a hostel.

    Disliked : My room had hundreds of ants (mostly dead although some alive) in it. They fell from the ceiling somewhere onto my bed continuously. I’m not sure what was going on or where they were coming from, but given they were mostly dead it didn’t impact me too negatively. Not the best though.

    WiFi is pretty bad and only available in one part of the property.

    My room didn’t have an outlet, which was mildly inconvenient but not terrible as the common areas had a lot of outlets to use.

    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.
