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 ...
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.
