8 of us stayed at the Reef Island Surf Lodge for a week in August. We booked it a few months in advance, and all the communication between us and the lodge was great. They replied to emails within a few hours and were very honest.
We had 2 rooms - 4 bunks in each. Our room (14) was fine, perhaps a little small for 4 people, but considering we did nothing more than shower, get ready and sleep there it was fine. The bathroom was very new and clean, and couldn't be faulted.
All the staff are very kind and helpful - they stored a birthday cake for us in their fridge for two days!
You each pay a £30 bond, which is returnable if the rooms are in a good condition. We were a little worried about the sand that had come from our body boards and feet, but they assured us it would be fine and we all got our £30 back.
The location of the lodge is perfect - a stumble into town and a 5 min walk down onto beautiful Towan Beach.
I'd recommend this place to any group of friends looking for somewhere comfortable to stay for a good price!
