We loved our stay here. It was quiet and close to where we needed to go each day. The room has a fridge, stove and kettle. There was also access to a kitchen in the main house for anything else we needed. The room was very spacious and we felt very comfortable and safe. The area is beautiful with stunning views of the sea. Would definitely book here again. Thank you

Very nice place with super friendly staff! One point for improvement is the shower. Bit dirty and old. Bit far from the city center and unfortunately you need to go there to surf, but there is transport arranged if you don’t have a car!

The whole team, the lodge and the surroundings were perfect. On arrival my suitcase was not brought and I had to wait a day for it. Adrian had picked me up in the evening and drove another extra two hours to the airport the next day to pick up my suitcase there! From this you can see how much the team cares that everyone is doing well. Thank you for that and for the whole vacation with you! I will definitely love to come back.

I stayed at the lodge for 2 weeks and it was an amazing experience!! The lodge is beautiful, cozy and clean and the people working there are sweet and helpful. The lodge has a path that goes directly to the beach, and I went there almost every morning with the dogs that live at the lodge to watch the sunrise. Breakfast in the morning was great and all the activities that the lodge provides or takes you to are so amazing!Can’t wait to go back some day!!

Me and my friends stayed for 3 weeks at the Surf Lodge South Africa. It's an absolutely stunning place. It not was not my first time here, so I already knew the place.
