Book a Top Pongaroa Motel

"Room was nicely decorated, couldn't get used to the bed. The receptionist was very pleasant, and we did enjoy our stay."

"An awesome getaway will definitely be coming back to stay, had everything that we needed and more, thank you !"

"We had a wonderful time gazing at the stunning views from this cosy sunny home with a lovely view lying in bed in the main bedroom. A perfect location for beach walking, walking to the lighthouse and also exploring the area. Thank you for a perfect Castlepoint experience. Also exceptional service for a laptop cable left behind!"

"We love this place. Bright, light, and sunny, the best thing about it is the sea at the doorstep. You hear the waves at night, see them first thing when you get up, and then walk just a few steps over the road to plunge into them for a swim. The bach is warm too with a really efficient log burner so we were cosy at night. This is our go to place for a few days of real refreshment and pleasure. The sea, the rocks, the hills for climbing, spectacular views from so many angles. It’s a winner."

"Loved the deck. House was great and everything we needed"

"Our family got to visit Time Out bach for the 2nd time, and this stay was even better than the first. The bach is so homey, comfortable, kid & dog friendly, and of course has the best sea views! Beach combing amongst the rock pools at low tide was our familys favourite pasttime, but we also took advantage of the swimming, playing in the estuary/stream, hiking the cliffs walk, and playing lots of outdoor games in the huge backyard. We wished we couldve stayed another week!"

"A lovely spot with all the basics available. Great to be able to take the dog and accommodate visitors."

"We stayed for two nights after making a last minute decision to get away with friends. It was a-may-zing! Floss called us on the day we were arriving to sort out directions and the awesome experience started right there. Thanks for coaching us up the goat track Floss! And for your awesome yarns. We loved staying here and will definitely be back."

"It was great! We were testing out travelling with our indoor cat and it was perfect. A very chill spot with lovely people and a comfy, cozy little whare. The pool was awesome, too, though chilly enough to require a bit of bravery. Lots of tūī, pīwakawaka, riroriro, and happy magpies, too. Thank you!"
