Travelled the Pacific Highway routes 1 and 101 South. Beautiful scenery and feeling a little tired after 4 hours driving we happened upon a sign out of the blue pointing us to the Castaway at Port Orford. went up to the check in area and the manager could not be more helpful. Offered us a two story room for a... More

This hotel was a welcomed stop on our vacation. The proprietor was friendly and very helpful. He lent us a portable space heater for extra warmth and suggested some delicious places to eat. The room was clean, spacious and had a private sunporch. The views were beautiful. We stayed in early April so the weather was cool but if it... More

A small, older, hotel with great views from every room. Most rooms have their own sunporch from which you can watch the boats being launched at the port, and the whale spouting here and there. We have a totally relaxing two days in a comfortable room, which was clean and nice. Fortunately, we were there without next door neighbors for... More

The south Oregon coast is gorgeous and my room had a wonderful view to take advantage of this. I stayed two nights and could easily have stayed longer. This motel is older, but it was clean and comfortable. My room was large with its own sun porch and carport. One of the best amenities is the area with the ice... More

This is a secret hideaway that shares the most gorgeous views with you in your well appointed unit. Rockne is a great host and can fill you in on what to do. Also try Redfish Grill, it is amazing. Port Orford is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

We stayed one night. The view was excellent. This is an old facility, but well maintained. The proprietor is exceptional. So helpful. The bed wasn't very comfortable, but it was clean and cozy. Probably the best view from a lodging on the Oregon coast. Didn't see any wildlife down by the water - missed seeing whales!

We found this by chance on traveling down the Pacific coast and was our favourite so we stayed 2 nights. The view is gorgeous and the port interesting where the fishing boats are lifted out by cranes. Griffs cafe on the port lovely.

When we turned the corner at the end of the road into this property we both said WOW simultaeneously. This place has THE most amazing view of the pacific. We chatted to the extremely helpful man on reception about the area and he told us that there are two or three whales who frequent the bay and we were able... More

Castaway was a welcome respite stop. The proprietor is exceedingly pleasant and knowledgeable, and is committed to keeping Castaway an excellent stopover on the Oregon coast. We rented a suite, which was very reasonable, and enjoyed a porch, a living room, a dining room, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and separate bedroom. While Castaway does not look particularly inviting on the... More
