Fodor's Expert Review Bow Street Studios
1 Bow St., Raglan, Waikato, 3225, New Zealand
Right at the edge of town, with views over the harbor, you can choose from a two-bedroom historic cottage or several two-story apartment units, each with a king bed and a sunset view. As you walk out of the driveway, turn left, and you will be at the water's edge and the historic Bow Street jetty site within a minute. Turn the other way, and you just need to walk 50 meters to the main stretch of shops and restaurants.
PROS
- picturesque tree-lined grounds
- quiet location at end of main street
- all units have well-equipped kitchens
CONS
- no on-site food of any kind
- 2-story apartments not wheelchair-accessible
- management is off-site, so getting immediate assistance can be difficult
