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. 👍🤗
