Towering above the black sand of Karioitahi Beach, and overlooking the rugged coastline,
Castaways Restaurant and Bar is well worth the journey.
Castaways Restaurant and Bar is well worth the journey.
To make the most of the stunning views in winter, we made an early booking and enjoyed the sun setting over the sea over a glass of wine.
As one of their winter warmers, Castaways have reintroduced its popular Saturday Sizzler.
The platter features beautifully paired chorizo and prawn skewers, melt-in-the-mouth pork belly, marinated beef slices, chicken skewers, beef steaks, charred corn, and refreshing peas. You can choose a salad or fries to accompany your platter, and the house pinot noir – Durvillea from Marlborough – was a delightful partner to the sizzling platter.
This delicious dining experience is available every Saturday from 5pm to 8pm for $55 per adult, with children aged 3–12 dining at half price ($27.50).
We also made the most of the regular menu, opting for the classic winter warmer – lamb shank.
Served on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes, alongside peas and topped with rosemary and a light brown sauce. Deliciously tender, the lamb paired well with the Durvillea pinot noir and its cherry notes.
As first diners on a Saturday, we enjoyed the attentive service that continued as the restaurant began to fill as the day slipped into night.
The cinnamon-dusted churros with chocolate sauce and caramel ice cream are an excellent way to round out the meal.
