This is a really terrific property, it is very well equipped with instructions for everything. Very comfy beds in nice sized bedrooms and the living area with fire is cosy. Wonderful location just a short walk to the beach. And dog friendly as well! We had a terrific stay and would definitely go back - McMasters is a lovely, untouched paradise with welcoming locals and a great feel.

Had an amazing two weeks af Castaway, perfect setting in the trees, incredibly clean and every detail thought of for a comfortable stay. The location is wonderful with just a minute or two stroll down the beach path to the stunning McMasters surf. We also loved the ocean pool at the end of the beach and Mac’s cafe. 10/10, can’t wait to be back.

Great location and very clean

We stayed over Easter for nearly a week. The house is in a great spot... so quite and so close to the beach. It was very clean. It is a little bit like a tree house in that the deck is quite high nestled amongst the trees so plenty of birds etc hanging about.
