An occasional opinion column with Aaron Mooar, Station Manager of Raglan Community Radio and the host of the Morning Show.
T
he phrase conspiracy theory is usually used to discredit the argument of someone who doesn’t hold mainstream views but lately people seem quite happy to claim there are conspiracies everywhere. I want to go back to basics with this question; “is it likely that people would conspire to increase their wealth and/or power?” The answer is obviously yes. I would add however, that not everything is a conspiracy and we need to figure out how to tell the difference. Mainstream news outlets are in a tizz right now about the growth of conspiracy theories on social media, but I suspect their tendency to uncritically publish the views of powerful people has a lot to do with people losing faith in their reporting. One obvious example: We all know now that US claims about Iraq’s Weapons of Mass Destruction in the early 2000s were false. UN weapons inspectors were actually trying to tell us this at the time and while we reported it on Raglan Community Radio, mainstream media just went along with the US government line - with devastating results for the people of Iraq. More recently our media’s tendency to trumpet our rock star economy while the divide between rich and poor has been steadily expanding hasn’t exactly helped their credibility either. I always thought this stuff would cause people to lose their trust in mainstream news but I’m kind of surprised about where they’ve chosen to put their faith instead. I interviewed Billy Te Kahika a few weeks ago and while he is good at articulating how a lot of people feel I thought his theory about communists taking over the UN was pretty weak. It’s a conspiracy theory that has been around for decades but in a world awash in actual corporate
conspiracies and utterly dominated by capitalism I’ve never found it very convincing. I don’t do hard hitting interviews so I just let Billy have his say and mistakenly assumed that everyone else would interpret it the way I had. His description of how the UN would influence our local governments was completely lacking in concrete detail and his need to reference a youtube video in the middle of the discussion suggested a very shallow understanding. Despite that, the general feeling he articulates, that “something is going on” is very real and quite valid, for the reasons I outlined above. I just don’t know why it has all blown up now. There have been far more devious efforts to curb our freedoms by the previous National and Labour governments and to me our current leadership looks much more like a group of people who are barely coping with a rolling crisis. This is both because events have moved so quickly, and because of the chronic under-resourcing of the public service (something we should be angry about). If people want to see how to prove a conspiracy to the point where it becomes accepted fact then they could read some of Nicky Hager’s books. If they want to know why it feels like things are stacked against them they could do what working class people used to do and read up on how class and power structures work. It’s way better than facebook memes, trust me. Mostly though I reckon we should take some time away from all this. Even if the media we consume is 100% accurate, dwelling on that level of negativity distorts our view of the world and makes us feel powerless. There are way more uplifting things we could be doing.

‘Buzz’ of creativity as sewists turn hands to reusable masks

hey say every cloud has a silver lining but in Raglan’s case it’s more a colourful fabric lining. With the re-emergence of coronavirus, fabrics of many hues and patterns are being whipped up by sewing-machine into double-thickness, reusable face masks – spawning a whole new cottage industry in town. It’s a phenomenon that Sarah Lancaster, the Raglan based owner-operator of upcycling business ‘Sew Love’, described recently as “the reusable face mask buzz”. She and Jo Sweeney from Zinnia are just two of the locals sewing into the night to keep up with demand. Both told the Chronicle they’ve even got their mothers helping out – stitching for family and friends at least – while they fulfil orders from the wider community. Jo, who’s known for her own line of bags and belts, says the aesthetic with her face masks is “colourful and crazy”. But classic black is popular too, she adds. She spent five hours perfecting a pattern after the Covid-19 alert levels were raised a fortnight ago – and then it was all on. Her daily stocks of face masks have been flying out the door at Zinnia and she can hardly keep up. “I’ve been sewing for up to 10 hours a day on top of (full-time) work,” she says. “It’s the craziest thing … I never expected it.”
Jo says she’d wrongly thought at first that the market was saturated and was “hesitant” to begin making her washand-wear masks, which come with filter pockets. But now she’s chuffed that people are buying and wearing locally made products. Sarah too is going all out to supply vibrant, patterned masks for the likes of community “teams” such as Xtreme Zero Waste and Para Kore. “I’ve been working non-stop, it’s really intense,” she says, adding she’s grateful for those who’ve helped out with deliveries or kept her going by bringing around meals. “This is exactly what care and community is all about.” Sarah points out that other sewists – the name coined for people who sew works of art – are supplying masks through the likes of Timebank Raglan, while Di Jennings and Maureen Dellow from Raglan Upcycling Co-op have also taken up the challenge.
also turned her hand to making face masks from home, her biggest order to date from Raglan Rest Home and Hospital which has been in the required level 4 lockdown. Then there’s Shelley Wilson, owner and founder of ‘In My Kitchen’ – a zero waste online retail store – along with others in the community who are industriously answering the call for more masks. Meantime it’s been an unexpectedly productive time of quite a different kind recently for Raglan artist and children’s book author Astrid Conjaerts Schepel, who’s been in managed quarantine at Rydges Auckland after a trip back to the Netherlands to see her father before he died.

Astrid was able to put her fortnight in isolation to good use by ordering in and setting up an easel in her hotel room – then losing herself in the painting process. “That saved me I think.”
“Oh gosh I’m sewing in my sleep at the moment,” says Di. The pair’s supplies of masks have been quickly selling out on Saturdays from the new Kai and Craft initiative at the former tiny bread shop in Bow St.
Besides completing three paintings from printed-out photos of Raglan in her first week, she also worked on a new Mind-traveller book – this time set in New Zealand – and hopes to have it published by the end of the year.
They’ve also dropped batches of their masks at the local community house, to be sold on a koha basis or given away for free. “We feel we’ve done our bit now,” says a satisfied Di.
While some returnees have broken out of quarantine facilities, Astrid says her experience was of obliging staff who “did everything to help us and make things as nice as possible”.

RAGLAN
What initial impact did Covid have on you ? For me personally, as I imagine it was for everyone, it was a strange and uncertain time. When something so unprecedented happens and the media goes crazy with all the doom and gloom, it’s hard to not be concerned about what the outcome will be both for our day to day lives and our businesses (But also secretly, I was a little excited about some enforced down time) What did you learn from the experience about your business? Well I certainly had plenty of time to reflect on my business and make plans for the worst case scenario during lockdown! However, I was really fortunate that I had an already established online store...and I got approved to sell winter essential clothing after the first week of lockdown. So online sales went crazy...I guess people were at home with time to kill and wanted to treat themselves. The fact that I have all my clothing range made locally in the Waikato has always been a huge selling point for my label and with COVID that definitely became more pronounced. Did you change anything in response ?
In the first weeks of lockdown I definitely sat down and wrote up buying plans for the next couple of years, a few different variations depending on how business goes post COVID. But mostly I’ve always made decisions for my business based on my instinct, so even though I have plans on paper, knowing me I’ll probably ignore them all and just roll with it and see how things unfold and make decisions accordingly. What are the future plans for the business? For the moment, with such uncertain times, it’s about being super cautious and careful to make sure I keep my business going. I have targets and goals set out that I am working
towards and things are looking good so far, but I’m aware that things may well take a huge downturn any moment with the recession they are predicting. I’m wholesaling my label to other stores now and my focus at the moment is to concentrate on growing that side of the business. But you never know what is coming, so I am constantly thinking of new ideas and concepts to keep things evolving. Time will tell.

Raglan Karioi Trail 2020
T
his week the Chronicle caught up with Francois Mazet, organiser of the Raglan Karioi Trail, (RKT) to see what his plans were for the 2020 event. Tell us a little about the history of the event and what is the plan for RKT this year. The Raglan Karioi Trail was created in 2013 and has always been the second Saturday of December. This is the eighth edition this year on Saturday 12 December. At the start, I created the event because I always have so much fun running on Karioi Maunga so I wanted to share the experience. The event has now become an iconic mountain trail running event in New Zealand. Who doe the event generally appeal to? Everyone. We offer different type of distances. The main thing of the event is to discover Mount Karioi and challenge yourself if you are doing the 24km. This is a community event designed to give the opportunity to families and friends to share a day of exercise together. You can also challenge yourself against some of the best trail runners in New Zealand and meet fellow runners
during the after race. What options are there for competitors? There is 3 distance option: the 24km which necessitates some training prior to the event. This trail one of the most challenging mountain runs in New Zealand for that distance. The 10km that you can run or walk. This is typically a distance done for every one to enjoy the Karioi Maunga and be part of the event. Attention, there are some amazing trail runners on that distance too so come and check how fast you are. No worries, if you are not too much of a competitor and want to be part of the Raglan Karioi Trail 2020 you can still give it a go. Then we have the family trail run of 5km. We often have family members who are sprayed on all the distances and then catch around the BBQ after the finish line while waiting for the price giving. Are there any changes for the 2020 event ? No change! The Raglan Karioi Trail is now an established event and we are happy with the distance option we are offering. Our attention is to improve the way we look after our participants every year. We are really taking care to offer them an unforgettable experience: All details are important! This is why the tracks will be ready for you. The water will wait for you at the top of the ridge and the sausages will be ready when you cross the finish line! We have vegan option too! We will again limited the number of entries this year to keep the event a community event size!! How do people find out more and get involved. You can find all details on our website www.raglankarioitrail.co.nz Early bird price until mid October As we are trying to improve the way we look after our participant, we are looking for extra volunteers this year. It’s a fun day for every one! Please contact us on francois@ raglankarioitrail.co.nz
Best Fest street performance
at George's Beach Club

aglan Old School Arts Centre hosted a Whaingaroa-inspired Best Fest street performance event at George’s Beach Club. The Waikato-wide celebration of performing arts and public space was organised by Creative Waikato as a Covid-19 response to enhance the wellbeing of towns and encourage people back into public spaces.

aglan is famous for recreational fishing from snapper to marlin and more. To get out to sea from Raglan there are only two viable options; launch at the Manu Bay Boat Ramp or navigate the Raglan Harbour Bar. The area is very popular and a great many people have to tow their boats quite a distance to participate. All too often they get to Raglan to find the bar is breaking and dangerous and/or the Manu Bay ramp is unusable due to swell and conditions. With investment of time, money and effort already made, the pressure to "give it a go" often over-rides common sense. There's been an unimpressive record of damage, injuries and rescues (and worse) over the years.Â

Raglan Local Energy - a new electricity retailer that provides an easy way for your community to buy, sell (and eventually gift) clean, local energy - is launching. It’s locals helping locals to bring about a more aordable and sustainable energy future for all. Support even greater uptake of solar in the community (WhÄ ingaroa / Raglan is already a NZ leader), get aordable power and play your part in a local revolution.
Live Streaming Cameras for Bar and Boat Ramp The committee of the Raglan Sport Fishing Club knew that live-streaming cameras would help boaties assess conditions before they leave home base. The right (and safe) decision can be made far earlier... perhaps throw the golf clubs in the back of the SUV instead of hooking up the boat on bad days. With the help of the Southern Trust and cooperation of the Raglan Surf Lifesaving Club, live streaming cameras have just been made available through the Raglan Sportfishing Club website. There is a view of the Raglan Bar and another camera shows Manu Bay and that view does capture the boat ramp. Consideration is being given to upgrading this camera to give a more defined view of the ramp. In the interests of safe boating for everyone, the Raglan Sport Fishing Club is making this camera facility freely available to everyone including Coastguard and the emergency services with the message, "Use it. If you're planning a trip or you're already out at sea and returning from a trip, this is a live representation of the conditions."

An Update from the team at Raglan Medical Kia Orana, my name is Roimata. I've been working at Raglan Medical since June 2018 and will be returning from maternity leave next week. I’m looking forward to returning to work though I’ll reduce my hours to three days so I’ve still plenty of time with my son, Ezer. I'm originally from Rarotonga, and moved to NZ to attend university after high school, and graduated from Auckland medical school in 2016. After a couple of years working at Waikato hospital, I made the decision to transition into primary health care and have no regrets. I enjoy different aspects of medicine hence the decision to become a GP, in particular womens and young peoples health. Hamilton is my home away from home for now and in my bubble, we have my husband, 4 month old son Ezer, and my youngest brother.
Sadly, Dr Madeleine Wells will be leaving the clinic at the end of next week, this will be a great loss to the clinic but we’re hopeful that she will return in the years to come. Thanks for all your hard work Madeleine and for taking such good care of patients in our community.
Animal Health Column For Raglan People + their Pets
THE SEAL DEAL
To the Raglan Community, After working as a GP at Raglan Medical for the past 2 years, I have decided to take a break. I have found the role incredibly stimulating and rewarding and I will miss it. However, I have chosen to take a pause from my career to spend more time with my young family. To those people who I saw as patients, thank you for sharing your stories, successes and troubles with me. Going forward, I know that you will be very well supported by the rest of the team at Raglan Medical. Thank you to the team for being such an engaged, supportive and kind group of colleagues. Keep up the amazing work during these unpredictable times. Warmest wishes, Madeleine
Practice Nurses and Medical Receptionists poised to strike on Thursday 3rd September
F
E
or the first time ever, practice nurses and medical receptionists around the country have voted to go on strike for one working day.
very year Raglan has the Raglan Medical and primary care employers pleasure of seeing a handful around the country support pay parity they can’t afford to bridge the 10.6 per cent pay gap. of fur seal pups and adults visit
The strike is a result of nine months of fruitless union negotiations as primary health care workers have sought pay parity with district health board (DHB, hospital) colleagues. While
Female fur seals birth their pups during December and January, and nurse them until July or August. This means from August onward we see the newly weaned pups on our beaches and in surf breaks or hanging around the wharf looking for an easy meal. Despite their disarmingly cute big eyes, curious glances and seemingly relaxed nature, they are wild animals. They have large, pointed teeth similar to a dog, and powerful jaws for crushing and chewing their prey. Seals can be unpredictable and will charge and bite if they feel threatened. Their mouths are full of bacteria and bite wounds fester quickly- if you get bitten please seek medical attention ASAP! Please do not feed them as they become humanized very quickly, and it is an important development stage for pups – if interfered with, they may never learn to hunt for themselves. Keep children and dogs away for their own safety as well as the seals, and keep bystanders to a minimum to ensure the seal doesn’t get stressed.
COVID-19 SURVEILLANCE TESTING We will continue to offer COVID-19 tests to make sure there are no undetected cases in our community, if you wish to have a test please call the clinic and a medical professional will discuss the options available to you.
As a result of the strike action on Thursday rd 3 September there will be limited nursing staff available at Raglan Medical, it will however be business as usual with no compromise to services for those in need.
our shores.
It is an offence under the Marine Mammals Protection Act 1978 to disturb, harass, harm, injure or kill a seal. A dog owner whose dog attacks a seal could face prosecution. While we receive numerous phone calls from concerned members of the public about the seals welfare, unless they are injured DOC recommends they be left alone. Often they may have low body condition and are still adjusting to hunting for themselves, however please don’t feed them as they may then become reliant on humans for food. DOC will intervene only if seals are in poor condition, in immediate danger, tangled in debris, are blocking roads or being harassed. Some normal behaviors we don’t intervene with include; sneezing, coughing, weepy eyes, drifting in the waves, flapping flippers as if stranded, fighting or pups that are alone. If you see a seal and are concerned about its health we advise you to assess its condition from a safe distance, take note of any injuries on its body or flippers and it’s overall body condition, then call and advise the department of conservation (07-858-1000). DOC will contact us if intervention is required.

Our Sister School in China
Rainbow’s End Police Experience
T
O
his term, four students from Te Uku School had an online video call with some students from a Chinese school named Anyang Bridge Primary. The purpose of this collaboration was to create friendships with others that live far away, develop technology skills, improve language skills and have an insight into what it is like to live in a different country. We showed them a tour of our native bush area, and then they showed us around their school. Our schools look very different from each other. For example, we have nature and the countryside, whereas at Anyang Bridge they don’t have much nature at all! Instead of having a green grass field they have a football turf. An unusual fact that we found out about the school was that they have very different times that they start and finish the day. They attend school from 8.00am-11.00pm, and then go home at lunch time to have a nap! They then come back at 2.00 and finish at 5.00. The school had very decorative walls. For example, walls held art, certificates and even
weapons and swords. The rest of our school got to watch the videos during assembly. Many people found the swords displayed on the walls very interesting considering the children could just pick them up and hold them.. We also interviewed a few Year 1-3 students and this is what they said: Ayda and Tiki: I really liked the soccer field because I like to play soccer and win. Noah and Joshua: I found the weapons on the wall quite interesting. I really liked the soccer turf because I want to play there. Joey and Trixie: I found it interesting that they had swords and weapons on the walls that you could just pick up. I really liked the big soccer turf and the cool statue in the entrance. I think it would be cool for them to have a sandpit like ours at their school. Over the next few months, we will have more opportunities to connect with our sister school, learn about life in China and share our New Zealand culture with them. Written by Emma and Conor
Te Uku School Welcomes Miss McNabb!
T
e Uku School has a new teacher! Her name is Cynthia McNabb and she has been here for four weeks. She is teaching in the Middle Discovery with year 4, 5 and 6 students.
Miss McNabb has heaps of things that you would like to know about her. She does jazz and ballet and loves cats. She has two cats of her own and she plays 3 sports: soccer, netball and hockey. Before she came to Te Uku School she used to work at Horotiu School. Miss McNabb teaches in a way that every kid can understand. When she teaches, she doesn't give the answers away. You can understand her when she explains something to you. Miss McNabb doesn't just give you a book or worksheet, she reads it and helps you until you get the hang of it. We do lots of art, quizzes, inquiries and games with her. Miss McNabb likes to teach a lot of different things, but there are a couple of things that she loves to teach. One of them is Te Reo Māori. Most kids would agree that it seems like her first language. She also loves teaching reading and has good taste in books. She enjoys getting outdoors and teaching P.E. We play lots of games with her. Here are what some of our class have to say: Bonnie: “She is sweet, funny and she doesn't force you to do hard work. She is fun and she lets you pick your own books.” Ellie: “She is helpful, fun, caring and funny.” Cameron: “Miss McNabb is pretty chill and understands children.” Te Uku School is keen to get to know her more.

ur seniors were invited to attend a day out with our community police to Rainbow’s End in March. Sadly, this was cancelled. However, a few weeks after our country's big lockdown went back to level 2, our local community constable and Blue Light charity made this event possible for our seniors once again. This day out was funded by the Blue Light charity that works in partnership with the police to deliver an extensive range of youth programmes and activities. It has been running for 30 years encouraging better relations between the police, young people, their parents, and the community. We had the whole amusement park just about to ourselves. Here is what some of our seniors had to share about the day. Ivy: It was a wet dreary day. Not exactly perfect weather for heading to a theme park. But despite our doubts as we drove on towards Auckland, the clouds cleared and the sun was almost visible. By this time everyone was bouncing off the walls, and we hadn’t even had any sugar yet. We distracted ourselves by staring out the windows dreamily, playing eye-spy. But soon all the obvious ones were used up: grass, trees, sky, cows, and awesome police officers who were taking us to Rainbows End. But it didn’t matter.
We were finally there, at Rainbow’s End. Olivia: Some of us went on scary rides, others went on more calm ones. Some of the scary rides had surprising moments when they would lunge and jerk into a different direction that would be unexpected, this would make us jump and shake. We were split into groups of threes and fours. We used all our collaboration and negotiation skills because we all had to agree where to go first and what we should do next. This was a total theme park adventure like no other. The Invader was similar to being on a saucer that feels like it’s going to go off the edge while it’s spinning. Lots of us went to the gift shop to get sweets and toys, then we were back to the rides. I went on the Fear of Fall and I was ‘full of fear’ both before I got on and after. We started going up slowly, which added to the fear of the unexpected, then without warning it plummeted to the ground. I lost my appetite. It was a quieter ride in the minivans back to school even with all the sugar! A big thanks to the community police and the Blue Light charity for sponsoring, transporting, and organizing our amazing trip to Rainbow’s End. You truly meet your mission statement of ‘Empowering young people nationwide to be better New Zealanders through quality experiences’. We had a great quality experience with you.
Te Uku School Dune Planting
O
n Wednesday the 5th of August, all of Te Uku School grabbed their shovels and made the trip down to Raglan Beach. Luckily it was a warm day with the sun high in the sky. There we met a lady from Waikato Coast Care called Stacey, who told us all about the sand dunes and why they are important to us. Sand dunes help protect the beach from being washed away by massive storms and are the home to lots of birds, lizards and insects. It was our job to dig holes and put special plants in to help keep the dunes strong. It was hard to dig the holes in some places. We put special fertiliser that looked like berries into the holes to help the plants grow.
By the end of our time there, we must have put in hundreds of plants to protect our sand dunes. After the planting was done we were exhausted. Written by Hannah and Maia (Year 3)

Waitomo trip
Learning to Lead
W
e walked into pitch black darkness, taking our breath away. The spiral pathway lit up layer by layer, guiding us to the bottom of the path. The drips from the ceiling splattered onto us. The pipe echoed as we waited for the doors to creak open. As we wandered through the entrance we all gasped and said ‘Wow’. Our eyes spotted many stalactites and the incredible sheet created over million resembling a ‘curtain’ The booming waterfall rang in our ears only to find out it was only 1 and a half metres tall. As we exited the caves, unexpected steady rain fell unbeknownst to us and we were taken away to a different world. The warmth of the second cave took us by surprise as a steady temperature of 16 degrees celsius compared to the outside temperature. Walking through the second cave made us even more aware of how extraordinary the caves were and the overwhelming sense of awe we felt as our tour guide Aroha took us through. We climbed into the narrow boat that was taking us into the glow worm abyss. Everyone gasped and then was silent as they took in the site of millions of glow worms. That was the incredible experience of the Ruakuri and Glow worm caves at Waitomo. Year 7 and 8 shared writing piece.
Putting the Try in Triathlon
O
n the 5th March the whole school participated in our school’s annual triathlon. The
juniors - year 1 and 2 started it off, with some biking around the courts and some challenging themselves on the field. With the dry weather this was hard.
We all started with biking followed by running and then finished with a refreshing swim. Seniors had a long 10 minutes per event to complete as many laps as they could. The middle room had 7 minutes per event and juniors had 6 minutes which is amazing for 5 year olds! It was really busy for the teachers as there was biking, running and swimming events being held simultaneously and they were checking to see if students were beating their personal best(PB) goals. By the time we got to the swim we needed it because it was boiling hot. Our school triathlon is not about winning, instead we try our best to achieve our personal goals. Some of us found this really hard but we all preserved and tried our best. We started to get fit at the beginning of the term by running laps of the field and swimming everyday. The week before our triathlon we brought our bikes to school so we can train for the bike section. Our parents came along to cheer us on. Everyone showed determination and our feelings ranged from being nervous to excited, but everyone had fun. We really enjoyed the challenge and felt proud to reach our goals. We celebrated our great efforts with a yummy, delicious, icy cold Juicy(thanks PTA. By Riley, Taiporo, Marlon, Khobie The end
Inspiring Leadership
Energizing Leadership
Leadership Day 2020
T
eamwork was the name of the game when the Waitetuna school Year 7 & 8 leaders headed to the Leadership day at the Hamilton Marist Rugby Club grounds with 14 other schools from around the Waikato. Each school represented a country from the Olympics and Waitetuna had Greece as their country. We dressed in blue and white and wore tutus which was fun and a little bit embarrassing for the boys. Some of the amazing team games included ‘Parachute’ where we used a slingshot to fire balls into a large parachute. There was archery and a pentathlon event and
our class really enjoyed sit down volleyball(not sure of the name). It was a real challenge having to listen carefully and support each other to try and win the games. Whaea Amanda took us to the event and supported us throughout the day. We were developing teamwork through friendship, communication and co-operaton. We had to work together as a team and share leadership responsibilities. We also had to show resilience and persevere with some difficult tasks throughout the entire day. It was a great day for our seniors to attend. Later in the year we are going to use these skills to set up an Olympics day at school for the other students to participate in.
Waitetuna’s Perfect Principal
W
haea Amanda is our new principal and we love her already. We enjoy having her teach one day a week in the senior room. She is a lovely teacher and principal, and we all believe that she will bring lots of good ideas to our small school in the future. Whaea Amanda is very busy remodelling three classrooms which is very exciting. Interviewing Whaea Amanda: Where do you think you will be in 10 years' time? In ten years I think I'll most likely be a principal and where that
might be I do not know and I hope that I have completed my masters qualification. What are some future ideas for this school? One of my passions is environmental issues and I would love to see Waitetuna school become an official enviro school one day. What do you like about Waitetuna school? I love the small rural community and the staff, children and being in this new role, learning new things. So what do students think about their new principal?
Do you enjoy having Whaea Amanda in the class on Friday? Finn: Yes, because she does fun things with us. Seren: I like her teaching us art and softball practice. Do you enjoy having Whaea Amanda as our principal? Ridley: Of course! She’s really nice and fun! Layla and Emma: I like her big happy smile and how she always looks out for us, she is funny, kind and helpful. Isla: She is kind and f2un, she helps people.

Nestled privately and close to the harbour in a rarely available location, this delightfully cute 2 bedroom seaside beach bungalow (plus large sleepout) enjoys a light filled sunny north aspect and lush gardens. Polished Matai timber floors radiate throughout and the frosted glass entry door with palm tree scene and classic logburner further accentuate the charm and character. Enjoy a view of the harbour situated only 75m2 away making it so easy to access the water. Stroll into town via the walkbridge or nearby is the ‘Food Dept Cafe’ with its famous pizza and coffee. Retirement, permanent or holiday living, this really ticks all the boxes!

This well maintained 3 bedroom weatherboard cottage has plenty of charm and character with its polished timber flooring and distinctive decor. The kitchen has good storage and feature tiles and is open to the dining and living. There is a wood burner for those cooler days and when the sun is shining 2 sets of timber French doors make access to the deck easy for outdoor living. The retro styled bathroom features a pedestal basin, tiling and under floor heating. And it is family friendly with a fully fenced, large, flat section- a rare find in Raglan! Located close to Lorenzen Bay and with easy access to buses and SH23 for commuting to Hamilton.
