Just Bad!
First off the Queen bed is well past its use by date! Its very uncomfortable so don't expect a good sleep. The bedding is also pretty old. The kitchen is pretty dirty and all the kitchen utensils are old, blunt and the cutting boards are horrible so take your own. Curtains are also popping off the tracks and no curtain to cover the exterior facing glass door in the master bedroom. Most of the window rubbers are worn out so they draft a fair bit and sand blows in plus the latches are . . . variable. We were there 2 nights. Checked in after 2 first night. 9am next morning the Painter arrives??? (what?) to continue painting the outside of house apparently. We were not advised about this at all as per the other review about roofers turning up. No privacy and every window you sat at had a painter standing there. Messaged the property Manager with no response so I assume they really just don't care about the quality of your stay that you are paying good money for. Obviously just don't care so if you have issues good luck getting any response. Next morning we are about to leave and the powers cut to Castlepoint so that kinda capped off a pretty rubbish stay. We will definitely not book here again! Sorry Bach-care but this is Not what travelers should expect.

Lovely view
Lovely part of the country. The bach was not checked after each visitor’s stay. There was a note from previous visitor about their previous visitor about food left behind. I was under the impression that the bach should be checked after each group. This was not done. It was tidy, thankfully but could have been a mess. This needs improvement.

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.

Calamity at Castlepoint
Awesome spot with stunning views. Basic bach but good comfort level, except for the queen bed which needs to be upgraded. Scaffolding around the outside on arrival and roofers showed up at 8am on the last morning of our stay to remove the old roof! Drills & hammers were not the best wake up call & we would've appreciated some communication about this from the property manager.

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!!

Unexpected Gem with outstanding views
This Bach has arguably some of the best views in Castlepoint, the location is dreamy and you walk in to a huge open bay window with stunning ocean views and the lighthouse to the left, proud on the rocks. The location allows you to walk everywhere. An authentic kiwi Bach vibe. Warm friendly locals. Awesome all round, will definitely return! Thank you for the opportunity Tracy.

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.

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!
