Fantastic location
A traditional kiwi bach literally across the road from the beach, giving us easy access to all that Castlepoint has to offer. We had a great long weekend here.

The sea at your doorstep
We love this place. Bright, light, and sunny, the best thing about it is the sea at the doorstep. You hear the waves at night, see them first thing when you get up, and then walk just a few steps over the road to plunge into them for a swim. The bach is warm too with a really efficient log burner so we were cosy at night. This is our go to place for a few days of real refreshment and pleasure. The sea, the rocks, the hills for climbing, spectacular views from so many angles. It’s a winner.

Beach delight
Perfect spot in the world, across the road from the beach, lots of walking if you wanted to. This is very much an old kiwi bach, very warm and cosy with the fire lite on a cool autumn days. Note bring all consumables, hand soap, tea, coffee etc. Don't forget hand towels and bath matt, toilet paper, paper towels etc.

Great spot but rental is poor in condition
A getaway for an occasion that did not go well. Whilst the location was what we wished on the beach front and close to things things went down hill The agent for the home was very accommodating in trying to fix things but cut holiday short after the rat. On arrival multiple mice seen and in things in cupboard toaster and plates. Unit manager bought new items and wiped surfaces. Proceeded to catch more mice through stay. Not a fan of such things. Then traps went missing and found under the cupboard with a bigger variety running away. The furniture outside is rotten and broken the seat is by door and catch leg on rotten board Shower not draining well floods around feet Quiet hard to get in and out of with limited mobility and the step against toilet on angle Understanding a bach but needs work to rent out to ensure a nice stay. Overall not recommending this place. Whilst re received a $50.00 refund the night we arrived for the mice we had a ruined holiday after the rat we left

Great spot
Thanks. We managed to leave a kitchen knife behind - pink handle, Tedzkuri brand, which is of sentimental value - is there any chance that you might be able to please post it to us at our expense? It would be very much appreciated - please let me know - Alex (alex_howie@outlook.co.nz)

Traditional style kiwi bach, still under refurb. Living area beaut, beds okay. BYO toilet paper is an unprecedented request! Great area to explore and enjoy ... walking, swimming, relaxed locals, including gulls and seal. Would hire this cottage again. Thanks to owners for 'sharing' it.
