Castlepoint · Wairarapa
Castlepoint, also written Castle Point, is on the Wairarapa coast in New Zealand’s Wellington region. A lighthouse on the reef, a sweep of sand and that great stretch of Pacific blue. Come for the coast. Stay for the way it makes you feel.
On the water
Early starts with a fishing rod. A surf when the conditions line up. Diving, beach walks and time spent looking out to sea. There’s plenty to do along this coast.
The reef, lagoon and beach are part of Castlepoint’s coastal landscape. Let the weather and water conditions shape the day, and check the current local guidance before heading out.

Walks & golf
Make your way towards the lighthouse and coastal lookouts for a fresh perspective on the bay. The cast-iron lighthouse has watched over this stretch of coast since 1913; the tower itself isn’t open to visitors.
Plan the lighthouse walkCastlepoint’s nine-hole golf course is a short drive from the beach. Bring the clubs and make a round part of your time away, with a quiet afternoon back at the bach afterwards.

Back at the bach
A book on the deck. Another cup of tea. A walk before dinner.
You don’t need a full itinerary to have a good time here. Some days, being by the coast is enough. Our two-bedroom Bach Aand cosy Bach B are just across the road from the beach. Compare the baches to find your place.
