Creatives

Raglan Creatives is a site devoted to the full range of creative pursuits in Raglan Whaingaroa – and the many people with a creative urge – no matter if they started young or not until later years.

Sheltered on the west coast of Waikato in the north island of New Zealand Aotearoa, with Karioi (an extinct volcano) to the northwest and the Divvy to the east, this former surf and holiday town is now a thriving creative community of residents, retirees, backpackers and, of course, world-class surfers (plus the few of us who are still aspiring to that level).
