So relaxing and right near the sea.
We stayed here for two nights, what a lovely place. Very spacious and attractive decor. Excellent wi-fi. The beautiful sandy beach was just meters away, glorious for an early morning or an evening walk. So close that we took our mugs of coffee out and sat on the beachside…

Location gorgeous, units quite compact.
This motel was located on beautiful Pohara Beach so you certainly couldn't fault the location. We had a unit that looked out to the water, which was fantastic however the layout of the room didn't take full advantage of the stunning view. The room was quite small and compact…

Wonderful relaxing stay!
We spent three wonderful nights at the Sandcastle. The hosts could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Steve’s pizza night was a real bonus! We thoroughly enjoyed meeting our neighbours for a couple of hours. The units are rustic, but clean, comfortable and well equipped…

Hi we are looking at staying in the area for a few nights. are you quite a distance from Nelson or can we access that area easily from your place? Cathi
Hi Cathi, Thanks for your enquiry. Nelson is about a two hour drive from Pohara. You go over the Takaka Hill which is a winding road, but sealed. Look forward to hearing from you :)

"Units near the main road can be a bit noisy with passing trucks."
"Would recommend the beachfront units as they seem a bit larger and have the lovely views over the beach."
"Cars zoom round bend behind Unit 9 so can be noisy"
"If you would like to see the sea ask for unit 10 or 11 as they are the closest but all others great as we have been in others"
"All of them - so close to the beach."
