DISCOVER | CASTLECLIFF

Castlecliff is an amazingly relaxed and fantastic place to live. Most places that have what we have are either so remote that while fantastic to visit, are too expensive to live at, or if you can ever afford it you've missed your best chance to enjoy it.
In Castlecliff we reckon we're lucky to get the best of all worlds where we can afford to live a beach lifestyle and play year round.

About

Castlecliff history

More than 100 years of history in pictures and text. Discover our township, tramway fire station and railway.

Book "The Community on the Coast"  coming soon

OUR CITY CONNECTIONS:

Unlike many beach areas Castlecliff is fully connected with the things that make life easier like gas, power, sewerage, a regular bus service and a hospital less than a kilometre away in Gonville, Whanganui

 

OUR WORLD CONNECTIONS:

We've recently improved our connections to the world with ultra reliable, ultra fast fibre internet connections available directly into our homes. For many new residents this is key to unlocking a telecommuting lifestyle that balances working and conferencing with colleagues worldwide with the ability to be surfing or fishing minutes after disconnecting!

Of course for those times when you just have to be there Whanganui Airport operates scheduled flights to Auckland International Airport with Palmerston North airport 1 hours drive and Wellington International around 2 and a half hours (scheduled to reduce with the $850,000,000 Transmission Gulley highway improvements)

​

OUR PAST:

Castlecliff has an extensive history. Originally known as Kokohuia it was at one time an exclusive and independent seaside town of houses, baches and whares with it's own tramline to Wanganui. Notable events have often centered on the beach - for example the Port Bowen wreck. We intend to expand separate pages on Castlecliff's history to this site and would appreciate any material and suggestions.

OUR FUTURE:
The 4th Progress Castlecliff Rejuvenation Meeting i on 13 September, 530pm, Castlecliff School - for discussion- marketing/branding, sand study, the port, rejuvenation update.

"COMMUNITY SPIRIT: The Castlecliff Rejuvenation Project is making the beachside suburb a more popular location."

...house price data released this week shows Castlecliff house prices rose 14.8 per cent in the 12 months to June... that's the largest percentage growth across Whanganui and Taranaki...efforts from the Castlecliff Rejuvenation Project members to reinvigorate the suburb were paying off....These guys live out there, they swear by it and they're proud of where they live. It's good to see...
