The room was spacious and very clean and the amenities block and kitchen were close by and suitable for our needs. Need some maintenance on the entry door to the unit it as it dragged very badly on the floor and was also surpised there was no hot water in the unit. Overall it was a good overnight stay.

The location was great, the pool was great and the environment was beautiful. The cottage was okay but the fan wasn't cooled enough even when put on high. The shelf was dusty and there were ants on the floor.

Small, but functional for a quick stay.

Teeny tiny but functional for a quick stay, more just a base to come and go from, rather than a place to hang out.
Some net curtains to allow some privacy, but allowing light in might make it a little more private as its right by the driveway.
Citadel over the road had lovely meals.
Close to all the places we needed to go in Whanganui over the weekend.

The ultimate scammers. We booked and paid for a family stay through Expedia, the property themselves then cancelled the booking a few hours later, they didn’t notify Expedia, claimed the money. Expedia showed us proof they had paid the property so they cannot do anything about a refund, meanwhile the property constantly lie about receiving the money. Gave up and disheartened. They probably do this scam regularly, stay away!

By the beach

Lovely little cabin, good kitchen, only 3 dining chairs at the table! Bed was hard but some people like that. Plenty of space. The sauna was not working and neither was the pool, the lady didn't know how to use the sauna and she had to shock treat the pool, this could of been done over night, one of the reasons we booked the pool and the sauna so really annoying they were both closed. Kids were looking forward to a swim. Good play ground for smaller kids next door, beach a few minutes walk away. Would stay again.

Driftwood Cottage

I stayed in the little Driftwood Cottage (Cabin)which was charming!
Very comfortable bed and pillows. There was no wind to blow through the gaps in the groovy stable door luckily.
Toilets and showers are newly refurbished and are beautifully clean. The communal facilities looked spacious, and the pool tempting.
The park is just a 5 minute walk to the rugged CastleCliff beach.
My aim was to be relaxed and I was.
Thank you.

Castlecliff campgrounds unit

There were 4 of us, two adults, one teen and one almost teen. The place had more than enough beds and space to accommodate us all with good cooking facilities and a great shower. Overall the unit was clean and spacious enough and for a reasonable price. Probably need to give more Wifi codes on arrival would be my only suggestion as kids turn feral quite quickly when it runs out.Will definitely book again.
