I had a private room,which was very comfortable. Even had a TV. The employees were all very friendly and gave good recommendations what to do around town. The surf lessons are available for 80$. You get a board and a wetsuit. The lesson was very good. At the hostel the majority of people are around 20-25 and mostly travel with the Kiwi bus. So for people who tend so search for a more quiet environment,this might not be the place. Unfortunately, the kitchen area was not clean at all and therefore not inviting for a cooking session. All in all a good stay though.
