It was truly an amazing experience. One of the most beautiful and pleasant moments of my life. The people, the villa, the food, and the view were all worth while. I hope to come back again!

2-night trip

6/10

View was amazing but that is probably it. The rooms were a little outdated but the overall stay was good. Hotel breakfast was average, with small selection of hot food, bread and dessert. Check-out was annoying as there was only one person at the counter, so if the person at the front of the queue had an issue to resolve, everyone else had to wait. There were multiple teams who had major issues with room service so had to stand there for over 20 minutes just to hand over the keys.

Castaways Resort was wonderful. The chalet was clean, comfortable, and had a wonderful view of the sea. The restaurant was good and had a great variety for breakfast. It is out of the way, but if you’re looking for someplace remote and quiet, this place is excellent.

Beautiful location. Came back for our anniversary (we got married here 8 years ago). Only downfall was we were in a 1 bedroom unit joined to a villa, the bedroom had no kitchen facilities, no coffee and no cutlery other than teaspoons. But we would stay here again and staff were very accommodating

Castaways is a fantastic property to stay at. The location, the views from our chalet, were all incredible! Deepak at the reception was very accommodating and most helpful with our queries and requests. If you want to truly unwind and relax, then this resort is an absolute must!! The best part is that you can arrive here (from Auckland) in an hour and feel like you’re so far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. 👍🤗

Unusual hotel by a black sand beach with an ocean view with a range of accommodation going up a steep hill. Quiet, wind blown and can be sunny depending on the changing weather with views of the Tasman Sea.

Excellent spot, quite quiet so I guess we were lucky. Cool West Coast beach with tons of activity going on

10/10

This is one of the best resort with spectacular views. I am glad we stayed over here for our Valentine's day. Beautiful ocean view from top of the hill, we got magnificent sun set. Very few negatives, there was a glass bottle with cigarette butts in it in the gallery, the water kettle was rusted. Other than this we loved this property. Highly recommend.

A beautiful location, especially just a little outside of the city. Breakfast was amazing!

All the staff we interacted with were lovely. The chalet we stayed in was spacious and had everything you could need but the rooms were a little tired if that is something that matters to you. The views are truly spectacular. We will definitely be back.
3-night trip

10/10

Beautiful property! The villa was like new inside, super clean and comfortable. Great views of the sunrise, sunset and the stars and moon. Make sure to replan golf cart pick ups before 8 am. Only other issue I had was asking to cancel or move 2 days (over a month and a half before the trip) to a sister property, they said they were fully booked so I would have to cancel the entire stay and try to rebook again for the new dates I wanted. I even offered to stay at a sister property in areas where excursions that had been booked and were several hours away.
