    Very good customer service

    We didn't actually surf, we booked but got food poisoning. The staff were compassionate and offered us a full refund on the day. This is excellent customer service. If we make it back to NZ, were going to book with them again!

    Beautiful Spot

    Couldn’t recommend this enough; a great way to spend an afternoon in a beautiful part of the world. John from Cork was a top man with his instruction, and I’d definitely be back.

    Great surf school

    Raglan is a great spot for surfing. The raglan surfing school is great school, even if it's your first time surfing. They provide you all necessary information and support while you are trying to surf.

    Stay and Surf

    Lovely place and awesome stuff working there. You find everything you need in the kitchen and there is a sauna available for relaxing after long beach days. Would fully recommend it.
