Bindy was a lovely host & very kind Her tiny house is quirky, bright & full of beach vibes. A stones throw from the beach not far to walk at all. A lovely place to stay. Something to note: there’s is a new house being built nxt door. That would have been great to know on booking. As we were woken 4 out of 7 days at 6am. No sleep ins on this holiday l. Will go back when the house nxt door is finished being built!

Beautiful property in the perfect location.
We couldn’t believe how gorgeous the cottage was. It was sparkling clean, and we particularly loved the upstairs area with the balcony. So much natural light. Even though it was behind the host’s property, the garden was angled so that it felt very secluded and private. Very easy walk into town, and literal minutes to a lovely swimming beach. Thank you again for everything.

Cute Coastal Cottage
A friend and I stayed here for a night and were pleasantly surprised at the house's cleanliness and cute decor; the garden was pretty and the location was super convenient. Bindy, the owner, made us feel welcome without being intrusive. We'll come back!

I didn't want to leave!
Such a beautiful property and Bindy is so lovely! The home is just gorgeous and as soon as I stepped through the front gate I instantly felt relaxed and at ease! Set in a lovely green garden with beautiful lawns, the surfer's palace lives up to it's name.. And you can even catch a glimpse of the ocean from the upstairs balcony! I couldn't recommend this property highly enough.

Excellent Property
We enjoyed a fabulous relaxing stay at Southern Exposure Surfers Palace. With just a short stroll to the beach, a relaxing garden with outdoor living area and exceptionally clean and bright property we couldn't help but have a great time. Many thanks to the owners for creating such a lovely atmosphere.

Beautiful & relaxing stay...
We really enjoyed our stay at Surfers Palace. The property owners made our stay easy and comfortable, and the property is absolutely stunning. Very close to the beach - perfect in summer but would be extra cosy in winter as the upstairs bedroom (which occupies the entire top floor) has a wood-fired stove. Highly recommend!

The house was delightful, stylish, comfortable, bright and tranquil. Set in a lovely garden away from the road meant we had peace and quiet whilst still being close to the buzz of busy Bell street where shops, cafes and bars were easily reachable. The kids enjoyed taking themselves for walks on the beach across the road and we all surfed on the beautiful beaches surrounding.there are so many fabulous places to visit and it was great to come back to such a homely place at the end of busy days.Bindy and Mick made us feel so welcome, they are probably the nicest people in Torquay and the kids loved their gentle dog. We would love to stay again !
