This kiwi bach is amazing – it's very comfortable and has everything you need for a great stay. The location is indeed stunning, you can’t get a better view. Fish & chips at the local shop is a must. We loved it here and will definitely be back (also great that we could bring our dog with us).

Epic spot in a traditional kiwi bach

Location couldnt be better. House needs a little love, especially the kitchen. Thankfully we read the comments and brought a lot of kitchen things with us. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Mid Winter/Matariki get away

We have stayed at Windsong many times over the last 6 years.Its location and views are awesome but the closeness to the beach is the real winner. We probably spend 50% of the time out and about, day or night!This bach is what a good bach should be, simple. If you want your high end top of the range accomodation with shiny object and all the creature comforts of a 5star then this isn't for you. This bach is for people who appreciate "going to a bach" and simply slowing down.Will be back.

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.

Perfect spot

Great little place, absolute perfect spot. Everything you need except a decent clothes line, and no washer or dryer. We got caught in a heavy downpour and got soaked and there was no way to dry our only warm clothes, and please fix those curtains, it wouldn't take much. Would stay here again.

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.

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.

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.
