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!

Brilliant Little Bach
Went for a little getaway, wished I could have stayed longer. The house was comfy and lived in, just perfect, not too pretentious - really everything you would want in a beach side bach. Just amazing in all ways.

Great Bach.
Great view. Good for family and friends bonding as with no wifi. Needs a bread toaster, though. Very accessible and near the beach...we enjoyed walks until late ..All utensils are provided. Air fryer is a plus but did not know about this, will use it when we come back...lol. 1 light bulb is needed. Needs a new queen bed. Also needs pillow cases, will bring some next time... overall, a great bach.

Amazing location
What a view! We loved our stay here, the giant picture windows and sliding doors, and the lovely deck and lawn, we just loved looking at the beach, waves, lighthouse, and watching the weather roll by :) We went for many walks on the beach and rocks. The only suggestion I have is for a new bed please! I took a mattress topper based on other reviews, but the bed does cave in the middle a bit so it was not comfortable.

Lovely beachside getaway
Very relaxing weekend away. Stunning views and lovely beach walks. We struck a cold weekend - the eco heaters worked well, but would be good if the column heater was operational. The most needed item though is a new master bedroom mattress. In the meantime, suggest people take something comfortable to put on top of mattress eg extra blankets

Windy walks
Despite the wind and cold we had a great time. Loads of walking, north, south and west depending on where the wind was coming from. Bach had everything we needed and great views. Could do with a bigger heater when the southerly hits lucky we took our own. Really appreciated being told we had some extra time to enjoy the sun on our last day.
