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.

This is one of the best resort with spectacular views. I am glad we stayed over here for our Valentine's day. Beautiful ocean view from top of the hill, we got magnificent sun set. Very few negatives, there was a glass bottle with cigarette butts in it in the gallery, the water kettle was rusted. Other than this we loved this property. Highly recommend.

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.

Liked: Amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
More than a view is needed for a pleasant stay. To classify the property as a resort is a stretch. Calling and waiting for a golf buggy to take you everywhere, including to your car is ridiculous. Also, the villas are not properly sound proofed to rent to two different sets of guests. Worst of all, the cleaning services were completely unreliable. We were even told we had to be in the villa when cleaners came. We didn’t travel 12,000km to sit in a room waiting for the cleaners to come! As beautiful as the view is, we can’t recommend the Castaways Resort for more than a one night stay.

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
