Suites

The entry point to Surfside, and the one that makes the most sense if you are staying a while. 64 sqm. A bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen and living room together, and a 13 sqm balcony. It sits in the inner part of the property, which means it is quiet and it is cheap, and you are still 250 metres from Suluban. The kitchen is full size. Fridge, hob, microwave, kettle, coffee machine, cookware, tableware, cutlery, drinking water. No oven. You can shop and cook for a fortnight without it turning into a chore, which is the reason people book this one for weeks rather than nights. There is no private pool with this suite. You have access to a shared pool and chill zone instead, and the money saved goes a long way across a two week stay. Fibre internet with Starlink as backup. Tell us before you arrive if you are working and we will put a monitor and a decent chair in the room. Reception is staffed 24 hours. Housekeeping comes daily. Boards go into storage and get rinsed with fresh water. The walk down is 250 metres, the first hundred on the path, then the stairs. Sleeps two comfortably, four with the sofa bed. From $115 a night, which is close to $29 a head at full occupancy. If you are here to surf every day for a few weeks and you want a kitchen, a desk and a quiet room, this is the one.

A light-filled upper-level suite with green hills out the front and the ocean from the balcony.

A one bedroom suite where roughly half the floor plan has no roof on it. 51 sqm inside, 47 outside. The outside is a 21.6 sqm private pool and a 25.6 sqm terrace, which is more open space than most two bedroom places around here will give you. Inside is a bedroom, a bathroom with a shower, and a kitchen and living room that run together. Full kitchen. Fridge, hob, microwave, kettle, coffee machine, cookware, plates, cutlery, drinking water. No oven. Air conditioning, hot water, and somewhere to sit that is not the bed. That last part is the difference between this and a hotel room of a similar size. You get somewhere to live rather than somewhere to sleep. The pool is yours. Nobody else uses it and nobody walks past it. After six hours in the water, being able to get in without putting shoes on matters more than you would think. Suluban is 250 metres. The path first, then the stairs down. Board storage and a fresh water rinse are included, and reception has the day's tide times. Works for a couple, or a couple with two kids. It also works for a long stay. If you are working from here, say so before you arrive and a monitor and a proper desk chair can go into the room. Internet is fibre with Starlink as backup. From $146 a night. Breakfast is at the partner venue next door and is not in the rate. Our cook delivers to the unit if you would rather not go anywhere.
