I had a fantastic stay at Surf Side Retreat. Kate is really laid back and friendly. Before I arrived she sent me a message with directions on how to find the hotel which was really helpful!.
The hotel itself is just beautiful. So pretty with a real country/beachy feel. Kate was around but left us to do our own thing which was also nice. There is privacy if you want it or you can hang in the communal areas if you wish - They have a really cute dog called Leila :)
The town is very relaxed and sweet. Beautiful beaches with good waves if you like surfing!
For a night out I would definitely recommend dinner at Flow Bar down the road. The food was to die for!
I have no hesitation recommending Surf Side retreat if you are looking for a weekend away, surf trip or family holiday. I definitely hope to stay here again in the future :)
