A car is a must. It's a good 20-minute walk to the nearest 7-Eleven. If you don't have a car and don't surf, there isn't much to do in the area. (We came by car and had a great time.)

The hostess welcomed us warmly, and we had no problems communicating. We were given a small house right next to the pool. Our child was thrilled. The beds were very, very comfortable! The shared kitchen and bathroom were nicely furnished and clean. The common area also had lots of games and books, and you could chat with other guests there. The accommodation is next to the ocean, and you can hear the soothing sound of the waves.

Great Guesthouse, well designed, with a very fun swimming pool. It's very close to the beach, and you can rent surfboards. We had a great time and wish we could have stayed longer, but it was fully booked. Thank you!

All perfect

Amazing hostel - one of the coolest hostels I have ever stayed in! Super clean, everything was new. We had our own little cabin which was very cozy. Very well tought through with chill area outside, pool, lounge and outdoor showers for after surfing. They even gave us their van for free so we could transport the surfboards we rented from them to the beach. <3 The vibes were so relaxed and cozy - would have loved to stay longer!

I really liked this place. I stayed two nights because i wanted to take surfing class. For surfers it is great place with easy access to the beach. The surf boards and wet suits are in really good conditions. Surf lesson was also great. Thank you!:)

A bit difficult to find, need to bring in own food, stairs down to toilets steep and slippery

Comfortable guest house with good facilities.

Nice cosy hostel close to the beach. I had such a good and comfortable sleep there. It was so nice and quiet. I could only hear the waves of the ocean during the night.

We loved this hostel so much, it immediately felt like a home from home! We had booked to stay one night but instantly extended our stay. The guesthouse has lovely shared living space and and a well equipped kitchen. We rented boards one day to surf too. Thanks for a lovely stay :)

great spot to meet other travelers and also local. there's boards and wetsuits for rent and also cool little things at the property to do.

Nothing!

We loved everything! The relaxed vibe of Pumping Surf, the friendliness of the staff, the cabin and the common room, and the ability to walk to the beach. It was wonderful. The surfing was amazing, and being able to rent boards and wet suits that we could just walk down to the beach was lovely. Thank you!

No restaurants close by, but good cooking facilities instead.

Excellent hostel, clean room, good AC. Good common areas and clean facilities. Close to beach and little crabs roaming around the yard and the forest next to the hostel. A little hard to find with GPS but has signs from the road so look out for them. Good parking.

To be honest, there’s nothing I don’t like about this hostel!

I did like everything about pumping surf! The most thing I liked was staff there:) they were so nice to us. They were very friendly and easy to talk to! Thank you so much!

Nothing really! Maybe it would be a little bit out of the way from things if you didn't have a car, but we did and it was super easy.

The shared facilities were great - there's a big, comfy shared area with a well equipped kitchen, and showers and toilets are clean and plentiful. Our beds were pretty comfy. It's right next to a path to the beach - about a 10 minute walk. Good wetsuits and boards to rent too, and the beach had good beginner waves.

Super cute gem right on the coast. Perfect for surfers and beachgoers (like us). Room was clean and comfortable.

Honestly have nothing bad to say about it, it was really nice and cosy vibes. I guess the weather could've been better lol. Do yourself a favour and just book this spot

The host is the most genuine nicest guy who speaks perfect English! Very cool hostel, Aussie vibes with very comfortable rooms. Very quick walk to the beach and they have everything you need to get out there to hire.

Room for 5 adults was too cramped. If you have large luggages, might wanna consider booking more than 1 room for better comfort.

Free parking.

Beautiful Hostel right next to the beach. The owner is an absolutely passionate surfer and loves to gives lessons. If you Like Surfing stay here, you will love it.

Such a nice surprise! I ended up being the sole guest during the only night I staid and I really enjoyed that. The place is super chill, at night feels almsot like you are in the countryside and you have a direct path to the beach, just 5 minutes walking.
