“Amanda and Joe's hideaway”

Everything was wonderful, very roomy. Just a short 800m walk to the beach, and lovely breakfast at the cafe at the bottom of the hill. Everything you could think of was supplied, and extras.

“Great place to stay for a couple of nights x”

“Another fantastic stay in Castor Bay”

We had another fantastic stay at the Castor Bay Homestay. The owners have thought of everything to make a stay in their beautiful space super. We enjoyed the comfy bed with stunnning linen and furnishings, clean and modern shower with fantastic water pressure and the easy arrival and check-in. It is great to be able to park right outside, be led the way up with bright and safe lighting and find a wee bottle of wine waiting for us! The extra goodies are much appreciated - the Nespresso machine, the wee chocolates and tidy wee kitchen with great facilities. We love it and we'll stay again. Thank you so much.

“Awesome”

It was awesome. Hosts very friendly. Left us with some lovely treats. So thoughtful. The place was spotless bed nice and firm and bedding and towels snow white.

“Great value for money”

Great location - near beach, beautiful luxurious bed linen, (bed a little hard though) lovely shower and the best part would have to be the treats (wine and chocolate) and fresh milk, cereal and fruit 😊

“Minor fixes. However, my stay was exceptional”

I loved how nostalgic the place was inside it brought a bit of my childhood memories with some of the vintage items, books and games, even marbles and the paintings , and it was super comfortable and cozy. However, I did wake up as I am a light sleeper from the stepping sounds from above, but overall, my stay was beautiful. I also loved how they prepared little snacks for their guests which was very thoughtful of them and had exceeded my expectations accordingly.

“perfect”

excellent

“Very comfortable, private suite.”

From arriving we were impressed with the guest suite. The welcome treats, cleanliness, facilities, sunny aspect, location ... the list goes on. Friendly, accommodating hosts made the whole process from booking through to checking out so easy. We highly recommend this homestay.

“Really homely, made to feel welcome, and definitely recommend it.”

We weren't expecting the breakfast, so it was a lovely surprise. Cereals, fresh fruit and milk. Beautiful location, very quiet. Fabulous decor, homely, and wonderful extra treats, a very special touch.

“Gladly again!”

Well equipped and clean. Friendly and forthcoming hosts. Quiet residential area. Great bang for the buck.

“We really enjoyed our restful time here and loved the comfortable bed. Wish we could stay longer!”

Stunning location in the North Shore, very peaceful and extremely comfortable bed.

“Couldn’t have asked for nicer people.”

The hosts were exceptionally kind and looked after me when I was dropped off in the wrong place by a Uber. They literally went the extra mile.
