Our extended family of 15 had an amazing time at Surf188 despite the cool weather. We had a great deal of space for the kids to play and the adults to relax, a fully equipped kitchen for Christmas lunch and it was a very short walk to the beach, local coffee shop and wetsuit hire shop.
We were 14 people all over 60 years. This is the second time we have booked this property. Very convenient and everyone were very comfortable. Not sure if there are fans downstairs as in summer it could get very hot. Cooking facilities were good.
Thank you so much, Chris—we’re glad you enjoyed your stay at Surf188 and loved the relaxed beachside location. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d warmly welcome you back again anytime.
