Included with your stay

Your stay includes breakfast, and we’ll also stock the fridge and pantry drawer with a few essentials to make other meals easy. For breakfast you will have both cooked & continental options available, with gluten-free, keto, and vegetarian catered for. If you have other dietary needs, just let us know when you book

For your own menu planning, we provide the basics – salt and pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a salad vinaigrette, a sauce for barbecued meats, fresh seasonal herbs, and lemons. All you need to bring are your preferred proteins, vegetables or salad ingredients, and whatever you’d like to drink. The rest is here.

Things to know

  • Access to Raupo is a little unique. You’ll need a 4WD, and check-in and check-out times follow the tides. Sticking to the suggested timeframes helps everything run smoothly, and we appreciate open communication if plans need to shift.

  • If needed, we may be able to assist with access – this just requires some advance planning and is subject to availability. For those wanting a bit more ease and certainty, a heli transfer is also an option.
