Self check-in

Check yourself in with the keypad.
Just search 'Barrelled Wines Raglan'—we're more than just a place to stay; discover our vineyard, wine, and coastal escapes. Travellers seeking a tranquil retreat will love this peaceful self-contained studio just 30 minutes from Raglan. Whether you’re after relaxation or surf, this cosy studio with luxurious barrel sauna is ideal for solo travellers or couples. Set within our private vineyard, overlooking Ruapuke Beach, this is a rare chance to stay remote without compromising on comfort.

The space
You’ll feel immersed in nature, in an isolated part of Waikato’s west coast. Enjoy expansive views across lush native bush towards the ocean from the viewing platform just a few steps from your door. The exclusive-use barrel sauna will help you completely unwind during your stay, custom-made with a full glass front to showcase this incredible outlook. With sauna use included, this stay represents great value for money!

Fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves in a comfortable queen-size bed. Wake up to birdsong and a coffee from your in-room Nespresso machine.

Barrique Studio is situated within our small working vineyard. Planted in 2018, it consists of 1250 vines, mostly Syrah and Pinot Gris grapes. Frequently described as "delicious", our authentic Syrah, Rosé and Pinot Gris wines are available to purchase while stocks last. Ask us about our wine tasting, shelter experience, and guest-only platter options!

As we are some distance from any restaurants (Raglan is your closest town), we recommend coming prepared so you can embrace this opportunity to feel totally removed from the world! You can take advantage of the barbecue provided, or the studio also features a kitchenette with a single plug-in hob, microwave, fridge, sink and all the basic utensils. Tea and coffee is provided, and our filtered tap water is safe to drink.

Limited reception offers a chance to disconnect, however free WiFi is available to guests. The room has a 55 inch TV with Netflix available for guest use. With a stash of books, magazines and board games, you’ll find plenty of ways to make the most of some quiet down time.

There are a host of outdoor activities nearby including surfing, hiking up Mt Karioi or around Te Toto Gorge, visiting Bridal Veil Falls, sightseeing along the coast and mountain biking along Whaanga Coastal Road. We’re happy to share our tips for enjoying this beautiful location.

You’re welcome to walk and enjoy the property. As this is a working vineyard, noisy activities such as spraying may be undertaken at times.

Guest access
Parking space down driveway in front of our garage to the far right (when looking at the garage door) - look out for the "Barrique Parking" sign.
Feel free to walk around our property including the vineyard.

While it’s a journey worth taking, there is 4km of gravel road to reach us. It adds to the charm of our remote location, but if you’re not comfortable with driving your vehicle on gravel, this may not be the right accommodation for you.

Other things to note
Guests can arrange sauna sessions by messaging us - robes are also provided for that extra touch of luxury!

Things to note if you've booked in with your pooch:
- Must be house-trained
- No pets on furniture/beds
- Please bring your pet's blankets and their pet bed (and crate if using)
- Our friendly golden retriever (Daisy) will come and say hello to your dog - she may visit your room multiple times!

We know that you’re here to embrace the magic of a more isolated escape. So, while our family (including our lovely natured golden retriever dog) live in the main house in front of your accommodation, we ensure you have the space to enjoy this peaceful location with privacy. However, if you need anything (or any advice on what to do in the region), we’re here to help.
