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.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at castaways. Booked a 1 bedroom villa which had great views. You do need to transfer from the carpark to the room in a buggy, and also need to drive to the restaurant. The food and service at the restaurant was very good, and buffet breakfast had lots of options. Definitely recommend
