Location

Nestled in the charming village of La Gaulette, the Surf House boasts an outstanding location celebrated for its proximity to South Mauritius attractions and quiet beaches. The property is perfectly placed for exploring nearby sites like Le Morne and Flic en Flac, intriguing many visitors who extend their stays to soak in the local allure. Whether one's interest lies in trekking through picturesque mountains or enjoying vibrant local life, this accommodation's setting offers easy access to it all. Just steps from supermarkets, restaurants, and bus stops, convenience is a hallmark here.

Despite its ease of access to amenities, the area retains a serene ambiance, enhanced by a beautiful garden and terrace that provide a peaceful escape. However, it's worth noting that while the Surf House offers great connections for public transport, reaching some destinations might be challenging without a car.

Visitors have praised its strategic placement between prominent locations like Morne and Tamarin, which are just a short distance away. Additionally, the neighborhood, while peaceful, offers excellent value for money with large, comfortable rooms at a reasonable rate. While the local supermarket might be on the pricier side, alternative shopping and dining options are plentiful. Overall, the Surf House serves as a perfect hub for both adventure seekers and those wishing to discover the tranquil, authentic side of Mauritius.

Rooms

At Surf House, guests consistently appreciate the spaciousness of the accommodations and the captivating views they offer. Many reviews highlight large apartments and studios, featuring ample private bathrooms and well-equipped kitchens, making for a comfortable and convenient stay. The property's modern design and surrounding terraces provide a scenic backdrop, with delightful views of mountains and the sea enhancing the experience. Guests also enjoy the benefits of air conditioning and the privacy offered by individual bathrooms across shared spaces.

While some guests noted minor issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the overall sentiment remains positive about the comfort and size of the rooms. The property's perfect location for water sports enthusiasts is also frequently mentioned, adding another dimension to its appeal. The garden, shared balcony, and cozy terraces contribute to a pleasant atmosphere, making Surf House an attractive choice for travelers seeking a spacious and comfortable refuge with stunning vistas.

Beds

Guests of Surf House generally appreciated the comfort level of the beds, with many describing them as spacious and comfortable. Several visitors noted that the mattresses were very good, contributing to a pleasant sleeping experience. Many highlighted the size of the beds, finding them to be very large and conducive to rest. The addition of air conditioning was considered a nice plus alongside the comfortable bedding.

However, experiences were not universally positive. Some guests encountered issues such as stained bed sheets and an ant colony in the air conditioning unit. Complaints included mattresses that sagged or lacked mattress protectors, impacting comfort for some. A few guests found the beds to be uncomfortable, which affected their sleep during their stay. Despite these occasional drawbacks, the general consensus focused on the beds' spaciousness and comfort.

Cleanliness

Surf House, often frequented by those with a penchant for surfing, presents a mixed bag when it comes to cleanliness. While many found the rooms to display a decent level of cleanliness, the same could not always be said for the shared spaces and kitchen utensils. A vigilant cleaning staff ensures that some areas, such as the kitchen and room, maintain acceptable standards, though mold in the fridge and cockroaches have been a concern for some guests. The insect nets are appreciated as they effectively keep mosquitoes at bay. However, the outdated decor in both the rooms and bathrooms, and the need for better kitchen equipment, indicate areas in need of improvement. Despite these concerns, the potential for Surf House is clear, especially for those who prioritize location and a casual surfing culture over luxury.

Staff

Surf House boasts a remarkable team that sets a welcoming and relaxed tone for guests. Andrea, often mentioned, is noted for his warm hospitality and effective communication, always reachable via WhatsApp to swiftly address any needs. He is renowned for fostering a social atmosphere, ensuring guests can connect and enjoy their stay. His acts of kindness, such as offering transport to guests in need, exemplify the personal touch and dedication the staff embodies. Trisha's support is also frequently highlighted, with guests appreciating her role in making stays memorable through her friendliness and assistance. Marco stands out as exceptionally hospitable, ensuring smooth operations and guest satisfaction. The team, while not always on-site, consistently maintains availability through quick responses and diligent care, creating a friendly and accommodating environment. Despite a rare mention of a negative interaction, the overall impression is of an attentive and helpful staff dedicated to enhancing the guest experience in one of the best locations on the island.

Wi-Fi

Surf House offers a mixed experience when it comes to internet connectivity. While the WiFi connection works well in some parts of the property, especially in the communal areas where it is generally described as good, reaching the bedrooms seems to be an issue for some guests, as the signal doesn't always extend far enough. However, there are reports of reliable and speedy WiFi in certain rooms. The quality of the connection varies, with some experiencing temporary slowdowns or temperamental service. Despite the property's description promising internet access, some guests noted periods of being without service. Therefore, it may be advisable for travelers requiring consistent connectivity to make use of the areas where the WiFi is strongest.

Dog Friendly

Surf House provides a natural and animal-friendly environment, which is a delightful aspect for pet owners, especially those traveling with dogs. The surroundings are enriched with mango trees and occasional visits from fruit bats, adding to the serene and nature-inspired setting. Although some may find the local dogs vocal, they are described as friendly and fun, contributing to an authentic island experience. The neighborhood features numerous dogs, and while their barking can be a common disturbance throughout the island, it offers a distinct charm for those who appreciate the lively and social canine atmosphere. Although the owner's dogs may not be highly trained, they are seen as adorable guardians, ensuring guests never feel intimidated despite the nighttime barking and howling commonly reported by visitors. Embracing the island's culture, Surf House caters to guests who admire its unique blend of unpretentious hospitality and a welcoming environment for their furry companions.
