Castaway Resort

Castaway Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed staying at Castaway. From our arrival the checkin process is relaxed and simple. The room was clean and tidy, the bed in our room was massive and comfy. The shower was great with good pressure. Grace at reception was excellent and is an assett to Castaway. Castaway is in a good location and is smaller than some other resorts, which made it quieter and relaxed. Arorangi has bells rung at 5am(!!) On weds/fri/sun for church, which was a shock the first time but doesn’t last long and is NOT a tsunami warning!"

"Would highly recommend and would stay again. Spacious clean rooms. Just across the road from the beach and had a nice refreshing pool. Used BBQ and borrowed reef shoes + snorkel. Nice vibe around the block as the rooms have terrace balconies opening to the garden and we were so lucky to have lovely easygoing neighbours 🙂 Shop and dining options just few minutes away"

10/10 Excellent
"Stepping out of the room onto the beach was awesome. The room was very comfortable but just a tiny bit dated - still everything was clean and working. The best thing about the place though was the attitude of the staff - they were so welcoming, helpful and personable. They couldn't have been better!"
