Amazing property. We stayed in the two bedroom, 2 bathroom unit with full kitchen and family room and were very comfortable. The accommodations were modern and clean. We really appreciated the washer and dryer in the unit. The view of Karioitahi beach was incredible. We really enjoyed our two night stay and would definitely return if back in Auckland area.

Clean and tidy

Great location, peaceful, great views.

We booked the two bedroom Chalet. The view was amazing. Rooms were good size. Beds were comfortable. The chalets do need to be renovated however. It does look a bit run down. The TV is also on a high angle making it uncomfortable to watch anything. Other than that it was a good weekend away.

The place is perfect for a quiet and relaxing weekend getaway. The staff were very helpful. We like the food (both dinner - Castaway Market fish, chocolate decadent and breakfast buffet). We can't get enough to enjoy the beautiful sunset from our villa. We will come back with our friends and family 😊 . Hopefully, next time there will be a restaurant at the villas and some activities in the resort.

Villas were stunning. Looks out over the beach. Breakfasts were fab and the staff were excellent.

5 stars for the view. The kitchen equipments were all very outdated. Unfortunately the dishwasher wasn't working. Limited choices for food in the restaurant and bit expensive. Otherwise overall good experience.

We stayed one night at Castaways and loved the beautiful, peaceful location away from town. The view from our studio was wonderful! The room was excellent with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast is a must – the buffet was really good. The only downside is no direct beach access; you have to walk a couple of hundred metres down the road without a footpath, so watch out for cars. Overall, it was a lovely stay and we’d happily recommend it.

Beautiful property!

This resort has the potential to be 5-star if they can get their “front of house” figured out. First - the room and general accommodations, location and beach access are amazing. Here’s where they lose points - you cannot get around the grounds on foot - the reception is half way up the hill, and once u check in you have to park at the very top (which gets locked at 7pm) and the meet you with valet golf cart service - which at first seemed great, until we found out it wasn’t unlimited service. We did get cart service to our reservation for dinner and the wait staff arranged pick up and return to our room - there were a few folks waiting who hadn’t prearranged this. The return back in the dark, very windy cart paths were, at times, a bit scary. But the driver was courteous and safe. The check out is at 11! Which we thought was awesome bc our room included bfast so we planned to go eat around 830 then spend an hour leisurely packing up with one last coffee on our deck (with award winning views!) but NO. We were informed that we could only get cart service to our car and we would have to drive to bfast - so here’s the thing - you can’t (like ur not allowed) walk from the parking back to the rooms - and honestly u wouldn’t want to - it’s steep and designed for the carts. Customer service - apart from the cart drivers - was lacking, young likely poorly trained staff seemed relatively disinterested in providing the advertised 5-star service But - the potential is def there.
