Herald travel writer discovers some friendly Raglanders

Danielle Wright, a travel writer with the Auckland Herald, discovered small-town seaside charms on a recent weekend away in Raglan. In an article published in the Herald on 5th October, in addition to the usual facts about her accommodation and the town, Danielle says that Raglan is a community that sets itself apart by being a little less focused on money than its Auckland neighbours and the locals seem far friendlier and more in love with life as a result.

Her conclusion is,

“We went to Raglan with the intention of dropping out for the weekend, but instead found a small town with a vibrant energy, full of bustling shopping lanes, friendly locals, plenty of options for free entertainment for the kids and an exciting fishing wharf for a catch-of-the-day dinner. It’s certainly well worth logging off for.”
