Unequalled vista

Hi we only had one night here sadly. I’m from Christchurch and was with Wellington family. We had never ventured here before and wow the view is unmatched. Our favourite moments were wandering the nearby track to the lighthouse at sunset and enjoying breakfast on the deck (which is right in the shore) as the sun streamed in. Owner was very helpful and was open to hearing our suggestions on some tweaks. Comfortable beds and couch with a well supplied kitchen.

Happy place

LOVED our stay here and I will book again. Just a perfect location, close to beach to walk the dog, climb to the lighthouse. Out of the way so you have no clue what is going on in the rest of Castlepoint. I was a little concerned that there seemed no way to contact the host should anything go wrong.....which it didn't. But it disconcerted me a little. Won't stop me coming back. I could live there forever.

Selling home to daughter on OE in UK

We had a great time with our daughter and her friends ( we rented 2 houses) reminding her of how glorious Home is. Hopefully it’s enough to make a permanent return likely! She loved it.

Castlepoint adventure

Location is excellent. Property was adequate but could do with an update and fresh up. Spring clean wouldn’t go amiss. Curtains need very gentle care as fittings are brittle but understand the sun would do that. Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay.

Great location

Maybe the last people to use the house didn’t clean it properly. All the dishes, pans and cutlery needed washing before they could be used. The bedding was stained. Beautiful location but let down by cleanliness.

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.

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!!

Dirty and dangerous

The property was quite dirty. We had to wash all the cutlery and crockery we intended to use, and gave the counters a good clean but not impressed with how dirty it was behind canisters and in the cupboards etc. The shower was full of sand when we arrived and the bathroom not very clean. Such a pity because this could be a lovely let. We were also very concerned that there was no working smoke alarm especially considering some very old electrics. I doubt the property would pass an electric and wiring inspection. The property was very tired overall.The view was good but all things considered it was well over priced.
