Castaways Resort

Perched on wild coastal clifftops overlooking Karioitahi Beach on Auckland’s west coast, this beach resort feels miles from ordinary while sitting about 50–60 minutes from Auckland CBD and the airport. Walk to Karioitahi Beach in minutes and explore nearby Awhitu Regional Park and Massey Park. Ideal for seaside escapes, weddings, and distraction‑free conference retreats.

Rooms range from studios to spacious two‑bedroom self‑contained chalets, all air‑conditioned and fitted with kitchenettes, refrigerators, microwaves and private balconies with ocean views. Expect simple, modern comforts like LCD TVs, satellite channels and complimentary toiletries. Balconies are a highlight—perfect for sea‑breeze mornings.

Relax at a full‑service day spa offering massages, body treatments and facials, or unwind in the on‑site restaurant, bar and coffee shop. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self‑parking make logistics easy; extras include concierge, laundry, a BBQ area, garden and safety deposit boxes. Wedding services and event support are available for special occasions.

An on‑site a‑la‑carte restaurant serves guests year‑round, backed by a bar/lounge for evening drinks and a cafe for snacks and coffee. Full breakfasts are available for a fee.
