Upstairs in the main house you will find 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living room, dining room and bathroom. Downstairs is a self-contained unit with the third bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room and its own outdoor area. This unit is access via an external staircase only.
The north-facing location allows natural light to stream through the entire house for a bright, welcoming ambience and enhances the soft coastal palette. Both upstairs and downstairs benefit from fantastic in-door, outdoor flow and enjoy equally superb outdoor entertaining areas with priceless views.
You’ll find 2 bedrooms upstairs: Bedroom 1 is furnished with a Super King bed and Bedroom 2 has a Bunk Bed set with a double underneath and single on top. The third bedroom in the downstairs unit has a Queen bed. The perfect night’s sleep is guaranteed with superior mattresses and high-quality, soft bed linens.
Both levels have their own modern bathrooms. Upstairs with a shower only and downstairs has a shower over the bath.
There are also two fully equipped kitchens to choose from, both with access to outdoor entertaining areas. You’ll find everything you could need to whip up a yummy brunch to kickstart the day’s adventures. Or enjoy a classic Kiwi barbie while soaking up the stunning sunsets.
Two relaxing living rooms complete the flexible layout. Both have smart TVs, and heat pumps to make your stay as comfortable as possible. And there’s a separate laundry with a washer for easy holiday living.
One of the highlights is the stunning harbour views that will take your breath away. Relax on the upstairs or downstairs deck with a good book and a steaming mug of coffee. Glass balustrades allow you to enjoy uninterrupted views of the beautiful bay.

Guest Reviews

Guest reviews - Sunshine Rise

It is an amazing property with some great views! Had a great time and Lou the host/manager was super accommodating with our kids and an early check in to help the travel with two kids under 2

Sam

Great place to get away with the family. Great having a downstairs where the young people could retire for a couple more drinks.

Jim

Beautiful home, great location about a 5min drive to town. Best views of Lorenzen bay, truly breathtaking. Good kitchen setup with everything you need. Big cushions for lounging on the deck. The wi-fi was a little intermittent but a good excuse to switch off and enjoy the Raglan surrounds. Five star experience - very comfortable and lush property, would happily stay there again.

Jasmin

Beautiful home looking out to a truly magic vista! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, what a spot to see the delights of Raglan! thank you again

Matt

The view is absolutely breathtaking and just when you think it can’t get better you discover there is a second deck with an equally amazing view! It was such a spacious and well organized home for our family holiday. I would book it again in a heartbeat next time we were in Raglan with its stylish touches and proximity to the wharf it’s just perfect!

Laura

Had the most amazing long weekend staying here. The house has great Decor and was very clean. The views are breathtaking and the deck gets the perfect amount of sun

Julika

Staying here was an absolute treat. We had the most lovely time, and much of that was due to the host’s attention to detail. The view is amazing and the space is beautifully decorated, comfortable and functional so it was perfect for a weekend of reading, napping, and cooking. The outdoor cushions and the linen were excellent. We plan to visit again.

Becky

A totally wonderful stay - and the photos don’t do it justice. House had everything our family needed for a lovely extended weekend - and having a little annexe downstairs was great as it gave everyone space to do their own thing! Beautiful views, fab house with top notch amenities and great support team who fixed a small issue promptly and thoroughly. Heartily recommend this spot and we are already making plans.

Toni

What a lovely stay. The kitchen lounge and outdoor area was just perfect for us. Everything was clean and well appointed. Really enjoyed our time here.

Fiona

A picturesque, tranquil gem with a view to die for! Everything was made simple for us by Louise who took care of things we didn’t even know we needed. True to the photos and a delight to stay in, the little touches were the icing on the cake. We had such a ball, thanks again

Anna

I highly recommend this property! Tucked away down a long driveway, it’s a hidden surprise. The views are even better than the pictures, the kitchen had everything you could need, and the linen on the beds was beautiful! Sun drenched all day, the perfect little oasis! We will definitely be back!
