Castlecliff is a suburb of Whanganui, in the Whanganui District and Manawatū-Whanganui region of New Zealand's North Island. The name was given by the Harbour Board, on the suggestion of the future Prime Minister, John Ballance,[3] when it established the township on what were described as "barren sandhills" in 1882. Many of the streets were named after Harbour Board members.[4] The northern harbour breakwater extended 900 ft (270 m) by 1885.[5] The freezing works was built in 1891.[6]
