After months of hard work, determination, and patience, we're incredibly excited to welcome you to Castlepoint Hotel – The Whakataki.

Delicious Food, Country Hospitality

Our kitchen is serving up hearty, delicious meals made to satisfy every appetite. From classic pub favourites to fresh seasonal specials, we're passionate about providing quality food in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
