From a reviewer:

'I stayed with Aotearea Surf for ten days and took 7 surf lessons. I had the best time. I had never surfed before and although the conditions had not been great for beginners, the coaches always made sure that we were safe and had fun. They were so fun, patient and gave us lots of tipps. They even recommended a cafe which I ended up going to a few times. I stayed in one of the school‘s Eco Pods. They were really nice, with a kitchen nearby, the facilities were always clean and the staff was super friendly. People were allowed to bring their dogs :) Big thank you!'
