We have been privileged to be able to stay at Sea Shanty for a number of years. It is a fabulous old school bach with additional creature comforts (heat pump) to make the stay a little more comfortable. And the location...well...you could spend days, not just hours, staring out the picture window at the restless sea. Love it.

Sea Shanty is very well equipped with everything I needed and more. It has a real kiwiana beach batch vibe which is exactly what I was looking for. The beds we used were very comfortable and the owners were immediately responsive and helpful with their instructions on restarting the water pump when a power cut in the area stopped it. I recommend Sea Shanty and am already looking forward to a return visit to beautiful Castlepoint.

Fantastic, cosy, traditional Bach in a prime location on Jetty Road. A firm family favourite.
