Absolutely stunning location, so close to the beach and lighthouse. Sitting and watching the lighthouse at night was truely spectacular. The beds are pretty uncomfortable and there were potato chip crumbs through one of the single beds that we had to clean off before using.

Calamity at Castlepoint
Awesome spot with stunning views. Basic bach but good comfort level, except for the queen bed which needs to be upgraded. Scaffolding around the outside on arrival and roofers showed up at 8am on the last morning of our stay to remove the old roof! Drills & hammers were not the best wake up call & we would've appreciated some communication about this from the property manager.

Lovely little Beachfront stay
We had the most relaxing time staying at this bach. The highlight was definitely the window seats looking out to the ocean and lighthouse. We were pleasantly surprised when the lighthouse lit up! The bach was tidy & cozy, exactly what you would expect from a little bach. We wished we had stayed an extra night though!!

Brilliant spot- great views. Comfortable seating around the big open window. Just couldn't find a heater- saw and used the two on the walls but couldn't find any other,was a bit cool for this time of the year. Great shower, oven. Lovely patio area.

Unexpected Gem with outstanding views
This Bach has arguably some of the best views in Castlepoint, the location is dreamy and you walk in to a huge open bay window with stunning ocean views and the lighthouse to the left, proud on the rocks. The location allows you to walk everywhere. An authentic kiwi Bach vibe. Warm friendly locals. Awesome all round, will definitely return! Thank you for the opportunity Tracy.

Cosy haven
The house provided a lovely, cosy haven on a couple of windy, winters days. The view is stunning - I could spend hours just watching the sea and sky! I really appreciated the 12pm check out time too.

Stunning Views and Peaceful Spot
We had a wonderful time gazing at the stunning views from this cosy sunny home with a lovely view lying in bed in the main bedroom. A perfect location for beach walking, walking to the lighthouse and also exploring the area. Thank you for a perfect Castlepoint experience. Also exceptional service for a laptop cable left behind!

Nice BUT
The Queen bed matress is rubbish. The owners need to take some of their cash and invest in a new one. The refrigerator freezes your food like a freezer even on the lowest setting. It ruined some of our food. The hot water tap in the bathroom has a foul smell which stays on your hands. The shower tap leaks. The hot water bottle leaked and needs replacing and the oil heater was missing it's plug. Otherwise the view was beautiful and it was neat and tidy on arrival.

Lovely stay. Very much a bach so no thrills. Didn’t realise on booking req our own linen / towels which was challenging as we were flying from the South Island. View and location is great. Ants a problem, hard for owners as I’m sure it’s location based but be aware!
