Delightful escape

We loved the little cottage which even had its own secluded garden space to sit in the sun. Thank you for the teapot, often overlooked! Everything clean and comfortable. Cheers Bindy!

Beautiful property in the perfect location.

We couldn’t believe how gorgeous the cottage was. It was sparkling clean, and we particularly loved the upstairs area with the balcony. So much natural light. Even though it was behind the host’s property, the garden was angled so that it felt very secluded and private. Very easy walk into town, and literal minutes to a lovely swimming beach. Thank you again for everything.

Bindy our host was wonderful the house nxt door wasn’t

Bindy was a lovely host & very kind Her tiny house is quirky, bright & full of beach vibes. A stones throw from the beach not far to walk at all. A lovely place to stay. Something to note: there’s is a new house being built nxt door. That would have been great to know on booking. As we were woken 4 out of 7 days at 6am. No sleep ins on this holiday l. Will go back when the house nxt door is finished being built!

A friend and I stayed here for a night and were pleasantly surprised at the house's cleanliness and cute decor; the garden was pretty and the location was super convenient. Bindy, the owner, made us feel welcome without being intrusive. We'll come back!

I didn't want to leave!

Such a beautiful property and Bindy is so lovely! The home is just gorgeous and as soon as I stepped through the front gate I instantly felt relaxed and at ease! Set in a lovely green garden with beautiful lawns, the surfer's palace lives up to it's name.. And you can even catch a glimpse of the ocean from the upstairs balcony! I couldn't recommend this property highly enough.

We enjoyed a fabulous relaxing stay at Southern Exposure Surfers Palace. With just a short stroll to the beach, a relaxing garden with outdoor living area and exceptionally clean and bright property we couldn't help but have a great time. Many thanks to the owners for creating such a lovely atmosphere.
