What our clients say

Hear first hand from our clients across Nelson and Tasman about how we’ve helped improve their financial future.

Spending and Investment Planning

“We decided to go with Castle Trust as they are local and they have helped us build trust and confidence in our investments and financial plan for the future. We think it really is something to deal with local experts who we respect.  One of our big successes is also getting to know the team and we know they are invested in our financial future and we value that very much. We've recommended Castle Trust to our son, our family and friends too.”

Linda & Ron, Motueka

Insurance and Saving Planning

“Castle Trust have taken a lot of the thinking out of it for us, we think the great thing is that we have a plan in place for our future. If you don’t know where to start, go to Castle Trust and get sorted - and not just for insurance, investing for kids and your retirement planning for the future. They really care”

Edee & Ryan, Brooklyn

Spending and Investment Planning

“I’ve every faith in the people at Castle Trust. For us we wanted advice on investing and spending and they have really helped. My wife is 7 years younger than me, and we needed to really look long term for our investments to make sure we could have the retirement lifestyle we wanted and something for our kids.”

Les, Nelson

Mortgage Advice - First Home Loan

“The fact that David and I were able to get the keys to our first home was thanks to the team at Castle Trust.  We had a bit of a more difficult situation with our financial set up, having expertise in the industry made it easier for us.”

Lucy, Nelson

Business Insurance and Employee Insurance

“We feel that as business owners the advice that has been given to us has been really personalised. Insurance and plans have been put in place to protect not only us but the business – if one of us had an illness or was unable to work we know it is covered. The advice we get is professional and very beneficial to us.”

Greg, Nelson

“The thing is with financial advice I think everyone needs it, we have gone to the next level and asked Castle Trust to help provide that advice to our employees, so they can plan for their retirement and be financially stable.”

Biem, Nelson

Insurance and Investment Planning

"Over dinner with friends they said it’s not about how much money you have, or the financial situation you are in right now, it is about the age and stage it would be really valuable to start mapping out what we wanted to happen with our future. Just taking time to look at insurances and investments now could open up opportunities later on – and that’s where Castle Trust have helped us – we trust their advice as they are in the same stage of life as us."

Cate, Tasman

Insurance, UK Pension and Saving Planning

“When we first went to Castle Trust we went for insurance – we had just started a family and we had to take more responsibility.  As my circumstances have changed – for example my divorce – they have helped me adapt things to suit this and they importantly have helped me to plan to save for my future.”

Fiona, Moutere

Insurance and Financial Planning Advice

“Castle Trust have really helped us improve our financial situation with a financial plan. I’ve been a client for over 15 years and the great thing is they continually update what we have to match our changing circumstances. We’ve recommended Castle Trust to our daughter and her family too.”

Reg, Motueka

The whole team have been magnificent with helping my partner Chatrina & I in buying our first house. We both work lots so having a team of people doing paperwork & finding the best options & deals really saved us alot of time. They helped us from pre purchase approval & the whole way through buying , mortgages , & even personal morgage insurance. They also help me with my personal finances now too. Would highly recommend! Many thanks to everyone at the Castle Trust team! Hopefully you can help in our first business venture too 😀
Have been dealing with Glyn and Castle Trust for over two years now and we have been very happy with the advice we have been given and the way our funds have been looked after. While Castle handle everything with the professionalism you would expect from a financial planning company they are also friendly and very easy to deal with.
I met with Kathryn on one occasion where she started work early to accommodate me which I was grateful for. Her advice felt completely professional and trustworthy even though it meant I didn’t require her services. I’d met with other advisors but her recommendations rang most true factoring in my personal goals and circumstances. Really appreciated the clarity, transparency and consideration. She also initiated a conversation about protecting assets in relationships which is important for everyone to understand. Thanks Kathryn
We used Chevaun to help us get our first mortgage and I recommend very highly! She took the stress out of all the paperwork and answered all of my rookie questions without judgment and always with kindness.She made buying a first home a breeze! If your looking for a mortgage broker look no further!
Great service, support and advice from Anna-May and the team at Castle Trust. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
The team at Castle Trust are awesome. They made our first home buying experience so easy. Thank you so very much Stuart and Chevaun. Couldn't have done it without you
Fantastic service. used for buying first home and setting up insurances etc. will be a repeat customer for sure!
I have been really happy with the help that Anna-May, Melanie and the rest of the Castle Trust team have provided. Right from the initial meeting, things were made clear and easy, and when I needed clarification, they were quick to respond. I would highly recommend anyone using Castle Trust for the knowledge and friendly approach they provide.
Castle trust were very helpful getting our mortgage and sorting insurance with us. We definitely felt well looked after along the way with constant checking in and were happy to help with whatever we needed, no question was a stupid one. Very friendly informative staff, highly recommended!!
Anna-May has been a joy to work with. I was completely overwhelmed by the process of reviewing my insurance and she made it simple and straightforward. Not only is she a lovely, kind and considerate person, she really wants the best for people - no sales pitches or side agendas in sight. I feel really assured knowing my family has the right cover and appreciate Anna-May and Melanie's time - and patience while we worked through each step. I would 100% recommend Castle Trust to anyone thinking insurance is way "too hard".
Initially we went to see the Castle Trust team at their Motueka office and have since dealt with the Richmond Office for convenience of location. The advice we have received from Glyn and the team in their offices has been life changing, challenging, thought provoking and so very appreciated. Because of the great investment advice and implementation we are now in a far better situation for our retirement and/or early retirement. They are very easy to deal with, approachable and honest...no questions are silly ones. Highly recommended.
A winning combination of personable, caring staff and professional financial advice with a weight of experience and knowledge to back it up. Have advised us on personal financial matters for many years and I always feel better after talking to them. Highly recommended.
After been told we have no chance of getting our first home from another adviser we were recommended castle trust. We sat down with Chevaun and Stu at very short notice and straight away we were filled with confidence and believe that we can actually get our first mortgage and there were plenty of options out there. The team done there research and in no time we had a plan and it was all go for us to get our first home. Our situation was a little different as we used the kainga ora first home loan but chevaun and Stu made it very easy and ultimately got us in our first home and also got us good intrest rates (for the current times)We cant recommend castle trust enough and we will he using them going forward for sure.Thanks so much teamJames & Aisha

We had very negative experiences with other mortgages brokers but these guys said there will be a way and they found one.

They took us through the whole process from start to finish, very patient and positive.Definitely recommend!Thank you so much!

Thank you team, you continue to look after Mark and myself very well on the financial front and I am looking forward to the next step in planning our financial future. Have people you know assisting in this area makes such a difference, especially when they really do care. Its five stars from me.
Could not recommend this company enough! We have had mortgage and financial planning advice and the incredible team have help guide us every step of the way. Personable and top notch service!
We've never had a financial advisor before so finding someone to trust to have our interests at heart is important especially when thinking about the future. Anna May has been professional, supportive and friendly in our dealings with our financial future. I would highly recommend Castle Trust and their team for advice on all your financial endeavours.
They were really helpful when purchasing our first house. Then went out of their way to make sure we had the best insurance policies, kiwisaver provider and made us a financial plan. It was super easy and I'd recommend them to anyone.
Great team ! Deliver what they advertise and very approachable and honest. We highly recommend
Extremely helpful with all aspects of mortage and insurance. Highly recommend these guys!
Stu and the team at Castle Trust made my first ever mortgage an absolute breeze. They were always available on the end of the phone to answer any of my rookie questions happily. They even have an in house insurance broker who will contact you to see whether they can help with anything. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get a mortgage and who appreciates first class service. A++
