    Accommodation

    The accommodation is in the main house with use of a shared bathroom and WiFi. Our family is primarily vegetarian, so any meats need to be kept sealed in the fridge. We can give you a weekly allowance for food and use of your own fridge. You can help yourself to any food in the house and all basics will always be stocked up.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The beaches are in walking distance, we can lend you a bicycle to get to the shops, beach and town. If you have a car, there are endless adventures you can do... surfing, climbing or simply just enjoying the beaches in the area which are on a national park, so no buildings on the beach. There are trains and buses around too to go further afield. We are a family of Yoga teachers, so you can attend our public yoga classes.
