The Wave Temple

The house is nice, next to the beach, it has what you need for a short stay. You can rent the surfboards from the owners, which is quite convenient.

Great location for surfing, less good if you're looking to do anything else, quite far from the main area. The check in people were very nice, bed was comfy, no problems with the wifi.

I stayed in a room without a window, I knew this beforehand but I underestimated how dreary this would be. There is an internal window that gives everyone in the kitchen a view into your room, you need to leave this open for ventilation otherwise you will melt, it's not great. Also, an ant issue in the kitchen could be addressed.

The Wave Tempel feels more like a home than a hostel. The owners are super nice and welcoming, they took care of me when I had an accident and felt sick. Also very flexible regarding check out times. Very calm and relaxed atmosphere, exactly what I was looking for. Didn't miss a thing.

The hot water only lasts for a few minutes - showers have to be really quick and efficient.

Great location and quiet. Bathroom very clean.

Single room had no windows. Very warm because of it.

It felt like being at home. I will be coming back for sure!

The Location of the Apartment is just perfect, if you wanna surf! The wave is just a minute away and you can check the waves early mornings with a coffee! The two owners are as nice and friendly as it can get and help, whenever they can. The room/kitchen has everything you need and there is a grocery store, right across the street. Will be definitely back!

Good hostel with nice staff. Treat was very good

Nothing

Reasonably clean and the bloke who ran the place was apologetic enough!

WARNING WARNING WARNING! Despite the illusionary grandeur claimed by its pretentious title, The Wave Temple (WT) turned out to be nothing more than a small ground floor flat in a nondescript apartment building. Clean enough! So far so mediocre. But here’s the issue… Apart from the room to the front, which has a small window directly on to the street / pavement and steel barred for security reasons, none of the other spaces anywhere in the property benefits from what could be fairly described as a fully functioning window. And I mean none of them. Zilch! The room we stayed in didn’t even have an air vent of any description. We were there in January when the temperatures were just about bearable, I shudder to think what this space would be like in the heat of summer. So unless you are one of those people who enjoy sleeping without breathing, i.e. dead, a stay at the WT will mean packing your own oxygen supply. And the 'Surf' element? Well that amounted to a couple of second-hand surf boards on a rack, a flea-bitten sofa, and a warped breakfast-bar / table. The Wave Temple… The Poky Confessional more like.
