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.

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.

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.

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.

Ingrid

Liked: Amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
More than a view is needed for a pleasant stay. To classify the property as a resort is a stretch. Calling and waiting for a golf buggy to take you everywhere, including to your car is ridiculous. Also, the villas are not properly sound proofed to rent to two different sets of guests. Worst of all, the cleaning services were completely unreliable. We were even told we had to be in the villa when cleaners came. We didn’t travel 12,000km to sit in a room waiting for the cleaners to come! As beautiful as the view is, we can’t recommend the Castaways Resort for more than a one night stay.
