it's a suffers hostel with great photos... since we are a family of non-surfers we did'nt fit in...

the view. the pathway to the beach. the friendly stuff. the nice and free and young atmosphere

There is not one thing that can be faulted here. The views are immaculate, the walk to the beach is a stone throw away and the management is superb. There is always help guaranteed when needed and easy transfers for those traveling without their own vehicle. The activities made possible to sign up for during your stay is a big bonus.

We loved our stay at the Surf Lodge! We stayed for two nights but we wanted to stay longer, the place and the view is so beautiful! The people at the lodge were all so nice, we would definitly recommend staying here. The Lodge also offered many activities and recommendations in the area. We went surfing and quad biking and everything was arranged for us.

Perfect place to stay in J-Bay, the lodge is beautifully located. The manager is great, very kind and helpful and is a great chef at Braai. 100% recommended.

This is one of my favorite places in South Africa. The position of this hotel, right on the best beach of Jeffreys Bay, allows visitors the luxury to walk barefoot (50 m) from their room to the Ocean. And what a spectacular sunrise from the balcony! The atmosphere at the Surf Lodge is very jolly and relaxed at the same time, and they offer plenty of activities for their visitors (surfing but not only that). Definitely not my last visit :-)

- Payment was a little bit confusing - Kinda far away from Jbay downtown

- Amazing, very welcoming staff - A very picturesque beach close to the property - Clean and spacious rooms with access to a balcony - Biggest advantage of this place = people creating the vibe - Possibility to make a laundry and use a dryer, also to extend the check out time

Beautiful house with amazing people. You have to know, that it is a little bit outside from town (10 minutes by car) but it's worth it. Pool and the sea is very close. The stuff is super friendly and you can have a beautiful time with friendly guys.

I had an excellent stay and can highly recommend the lodge! I worked remotely from there, and WiFi worked well during load shedding.

Stayed in February 2023

Nothing, it was perfect for me.

Our room was so clean and the bathroom was clean as well. I liked the fact that it was closer to the beach we walked. The pool was clean. I enjoyed my stay and would go again.

retreat feel meant distance into town for food, except breakfast

relaxing vistas and open spaces

this place is a great Backpackers Surfer place. Yopung friendly people that love to surf and spend a good time together. We were the older guests and felt really welcome and had a super great surfing time there!

Stayed in December 2022

While the location is about a 12min drive from JBay, there are free transfers to get you there and back in the day and there is a fantastic, almost private, beach right on your doorstep with brilliant views from the lodge. During Summer, surf lessons are at JBay.

As a solo traveller, first and foremost was the people that are attracted to the lodge. Friendly staff and the facilities are conducive to meeting new people, and, if you feel like it, surfing!

Wooden floor is quite noisy when you walk on it. A bit awkward that the toilet is in the room not hidden behind a door.

We booked the suite which is a spacious room with a nice sea view. Wifi was good. Close to the beach.

Be careful the surf and yoga is not always at the lodge! (We were a bit disappointed to hear it’s not but they offer a shuttle to the town) You will need to drive 15min to Jeffrey’s town Shared kitchen can be sometimes messy (nobody does the dishes..)

The view at the villa is amazing! The private rooms are super clean and cozy Nice atmosphere Friendly staff

It is one of those gems that are hidden away but when you find it you don’t want to leave! So grateful for my stay at the lodge, i can recommend it to anyone.

It was an amazing place to stay with memories that will last forever! I would have loved to have stayed longer but will do that next time I am here!
