CASTLEPOINT

Castlepoint is a pleasant drive some 60 kms east of Masterton. Castlepoint is remote but is renowned for the surf that under certain conditions can be very good. There are no towns of substance on this route.

Castle point is a also a holiday resort with a nice beach and quite a spectacular light house.

There is the Marine Hotel some 5 kms from the coast.
