What the house has
A locked rack for boards
There is a locked, secure rack inside the house, with room for boards of any size. You do not have to carry it up to your room or leave it in the corridor.
A shower next to the rack
Right next to the rack there is a shower that does both jobs: getting the salt off you and rinsing your wetsuit when you come back from the water. Then it hangs to dry in the patio, which is in the shade all afternoon.
Bikes
CLP 15,000 a day. With that you reach La Puntilla in ten minutes and Punta de Lobos in half an hour, along the coast, without depending on anyone.
A deal with Manzana 54
A surf school steps from the house. A beginners lesson with board and wetsuit included, or just the gear rental if you already surf. You book it at reception and walk out from the door.
Surfers’ questions

Which wave is closest?
Playa Principal, 300 metres from the door: four minutes on foot. It is the most sheltered one and where almost everyone starts. La Puntilla is 1.2 kilometres away and El Infiernillo 1.5, both reachable on foot or by bike.
Can I get to Punta de Lobos without a car?
Yes. It is 6 kilometres along the coast: half an hour by bike or twelve minutes by car. We rent bikes at CLP 15,000 a day and it is arranged at reception.
Sleeping afterwards
There are private rooms and beds in shared dorms, all with bed linen included and with lockers in the dorms. If you are coming from Santiago, here is how to get here — and it is worth taking the bus via Route 78, which saves an hour and a half.
