Workation in Raglan: the essentials
Surfers know Raglan for the long left-hand point break at Manu Bay, which has drawn them for decades. The small town lies on a sheltered harbour on the North Island's west coast, 48 km west of Hamilton on State Highway 23, with volcanic black-sand beaches and a strong community and environmental streak. Ngarunui Beach is the place for learners, while Whale Bay and Indicators are for those with experience. There is little public transport, so a car helps, and holiday homes keep rentals scarce. Hamilton Airport is about 40 km away.
