We stayed one night at Castaways and loved the beautiful, peaceful location away from town. The view from our studio was wonderful! The room was excellent with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast is a must – the buffet was really good. The only downside is no direct beach access; you have to walk a couple of hundred metres down the road without a footpath, so watch out for cars. Overall, it was a lovely stay and we’d happily recommend it.

Beautiful view of the black sand beach from the room. The bed was so comfortable, I had the best nights sleep. Highly recommend taking the walking track up top to the lookout at sunset, it was breathtaking. Breakfast buffet was delicious, load of options to choose from.

When we arrived, our room had been damaged by a rock hitting the window and therefore were moved to a safer room immediately. When we were settled, the view was amazing, and all we wanted to do was spend time watching the ocean. If you are to stay here and watch the sunset, grab some cheese and a bottle of wine- nothing was more perfect. Everything about this place was perfect. Clean, friendly staff, delicious food, and great location.

The property is beautiful with an incredible view from the chalet, very calming and peaceful. Breakfast was great but very understaffed in the restaurant at dinner. We waited a long time to be served and then to receive drinks and meals. Lots of tables needed to be cleared of dirty plates. Friendly and helpful people but clearly very understaffed.

Absolutely MAJESTIC!!! We stayed in a 1 bedroom Villa and that itself was a vacation. The view was absolutely stunning. Waking up and having coffee on the huge balcony was like out of a dream. The service was phenomenal, the communication was phenomenal and might I say this price was phenomenal! My wife and I highly recommend!
