Very worth driving all the way there, we were very surprised how beautiful this spot is! When doing lighthouse walk if the tide is low you can go downstairs on the rocks, there’s a natural ‘pool’ where we spotted some crabs, there’s proper handles on the rocks to get down there.
Beautiful spot. The lighthouse has spectacular views of the ocean and cliffs. Saw seals playing in the water. There were also seals on the beach by Castlepoint Rock.
Fantastic! Just great to walk around and enjoy the moment.
Great place, and worth the detour. The hike to Deliverance Cove is challenging but very nice.
Such a lovely place with stunning nature
Really magical this place. We climbed up Castle Rock, what a view! Beautiful lights because we had a wonderful time. Certainly it's a detour but I loved this place.
STUNNING !!! I’m so glad we came here! It’s a bit out of the way but so worth it! Amazing sunset!
So amazing, so beautiful. I was blown away. It’s quite a drive to get there but it is so worth it. Perfect for swimming & the walk up to the light house is also really nice.
Really nice detour with great views and picture opportunities. The light house is a must see!
Unfortunately this place has been ruined by fishing ships and people in pickup trucks driving on the beach, disrespecting nature. Our biggest disappointment in NZ.
