What our travellers are saying...

Had an awesome week! I stayed there with my boyfriend from Sep 12-19 2020 and could not recommend it more. We met the most amazing group of people there and just had a fantastic time and Susie and Steve, the owners, were great. We signed up for the surf and yoga package and thoroughly enjoyed both. Never felt concerned in terms of health and safety standards as they had COVID-19 safety protocols and processes in place (e.g. sanitiser everywhere,

Awesome surfing and Yoga vacation It was my first time surfing. The teachers were perfect, the hostel was lovely and just what we expected. I have been practicing yoga on a regular basis for 4 years and really loved the sessions here. I would recommend visiting anytime ❤

Leonie

Great vibes, Brilliant team! We took five teenagers here last week as they're at the age where they prefer activities to sightseeing. Most of us hadn't surfed before. But the surfing instruction was excellent and we did yoga every day, which is very complementary to surfing. I think what Steve and Susie have achieved in seven years is really impressive. The location of the surf school is great too, you can walk into the town centre in 10 minutes
