The motel room was lovely. It felt like staying in a small house and would be good for a small family. The staff were friendly and helpful and I liked the cozy feel of the motel room. In terms of location within Castlepoint, it seemed very central, being close to the beach, the general store and the walking track to the lighthouse is around 10-15 minutes down the road. The scenery around Castlepoint is breathtaking, with some of it visible from the front windows of the room.

Castlepoint’s general location is quite remote so just a heads-up to other travellers that food and other supplies are not readily available in Castlepoint itself, if you intend on arriving after 4 or 5 pm. The closest supermarket is 50 minutes away in Masterton.

Great view of the beach and lighthouse from lounge. Loved sitting at the dinning room table and eating with a view. Extremely comfortable bed and pillows. A must for me. Portacot was brand new and good quality. Kitchen well equipped and lovely bodywash, shampoo and conditioner provided. Staff were very present and helpful. We enjoyed staying in August as it wasn't busy yet could enjoy the walks including to the lighthouse. Local shop closes at 4pm but offers coffee, essentials and fish n chips which was handy. We took too much food thinking there was nothing out here.

Loved the stay and the cabin number 1 was fantastic. Castlepoint is a fav place and it was lovely to revisit it after probably 15 years since last being there. Everything we needed was in the cabin. We knew we had to bring bed linen and towels so such as this was well communicated to us before arrival. Will come and stay again espec if we can have cabin 1. It has a lovely view of the lighthouse.

Would have been great to have a brush and pan for sweeping up crumbs, sand. There was a broom but no pan to sweep crumbs into. And the vacuum cleaner was ancient but did the trick. We have a Dyson at home so having an old vaccum cleaner was a bit of a shock lol !!!

Fabulous location looking along the beach towards the lighthouse. Close to the sea and can listen to the waves. Cosy motel unit to hang out during wild spring weather.

There was no room for a bedside table on one side of the bed in the living area. The other room didn't have them at all as space was limited. Needs shelves or some other solution. The mini-oven needed a thorough clean or replacement.

Close to the beach. I had all I need in the kitchen. Good room heating. Spacious cabin for 2-4 pax. Own parking. Quiet location.

Toaster labels were faded. Incomplete induction stove instructions as it wasn’t mentioned about how to remove it from lock. Thought the stove was broken, but with Google’s help, it was just set as locked so I just need to unlock it.

The motel has a beautiful view of Castle Point Rock and lighthouse. It is close to the beach. You can watch the waves from the comfort of the motel, while sitting on the chairs on the front deck. The motel its self was clean and had everything you needed and the bonus was it had air conditioning which was great and views from inside. I would book this motel again, hoping to return in 2024.

The reception was welcoming, friendly, courteous and helpful. Upgrade of the accommodation was appreciated. With its quaint and dated accommodation, this property harks back to the 50s and 60s but is relaxing.

We didn't like the last 60 km of the drive to the property, which is perilous. The constant stream of huge logging trucks and utes driven at breakneck speed by tradies and servicemen, together will multiple roadworks, make the drive unpleasant and stressful.

Stunning location, upgraded to house that had absolutely everything we needed and more. Rang ahead to check if bbq was available and made good use of it. Extremely clean and spacious facilities. Absolutely loved our short one night stay.

Nothing really....maybe the water pressure in the shower but really a minor thing that didn't subtract from our wonderful stay.

Our famiky liked that we were across from the beach, extra toilets and the rooms were spacious

We didnt have a bath or spa

What a great location right by the beach and fantastic views to Castlepoint Lighthouse which is lit up at night in different colours. The camp is very tidy and I would recommend staying there.
