Central Stay, Clean and Convenient

I found the location convenient, right in the town center. Check-in was simple and straightforward. The bed in my room was comfortable and the room was surprisingly spacious (it was a nice surprise). I also appreciated the provision of a kettle, tv, and en suite toilet with shower in my room.

I noticed the room codes seemed quite easy to guess, and this made me feel a little concerned about the security of my belongings (a higher level of security would be welcome).

The location was central. That's about it.

i found it frustrating that there was no staff present at any time . there was no area available to dry wetsuits or to store large items like surfboards. it seems odd considering it is labeled as a surfing lodge.
