About Castaways Resort

Castaways Resort sits on the wild cliff tops of Karioitahi Beach on Auckland's west coast, within an hour's drive of the Auckland CBD or airport. Guests stay in studios, chalets and villas that have private decks with ocean views.

The resort also runs a restaurant and bar, the Bersantai Day Spa and conference rooms, plus a high tea and private events. Weddings are held here, with a cliff top ceremony followed by a reception, and an experienced team looks after the food and service.

Couples staying in a villa should allow 10 to 15 minutes for the walk to the reception, the restaurant or the main clifftop venue, depending on which villa they have. Rated 4.0 from 476 Google reviews, 282 of them five stars and 58 one star.
