Really brilliant facility. Wish I’d gone before. Went as a bodyboarder. Hostility from fellow surfers fairly low. Been twice now. Advanced plus this time which was better than advanced for bodyboards. It’s such great fun. Food and coffee is good too!

Everything at the wave is done to the highest standard. Firstly, the lake is great. The water was very comfortable and way warmer than the sea. They provide wetsuits, bodyboards and surfboards. The staff are very nice and explain everything before you get in the water. There is a cafe which serves amazing food. There are plenty of options and full vegan and gluten free menus. The burger I had was one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. They also have some lovely smoothies as a healthier option. There is also a shop which has clothes, mugs and other wave merchandise. The t shirts have very nice designs and the shop is definitely worth a look at during your visit. There are multiple toilets, including a few by the lake, the cafe and some by the car park. There is a short walk of about 10 minutes from the car park but there is nice scenery and play equipment on the way. The car park has lots of space. Amazing experience and I would definitely recommend.

Friendly staff, went surfing had a great time. Great constant waves to catch and ride in on. Wetsuits, hats, and boards provided, safety brief and off you go. Tuition lessons given too if you require. Showers, toilets, changing rooms and lockers. Cafe and shop. Highly recommend.

Booked and went to one of the paddle by the bay sessions with a 4 and 6 year old. Both really enjoyed it and had a 'Epic time'. The life guards explained things really well and made sure everyone understood where to go and where they couldn't. Ordered food and it was really nice, no complaints at all with the kitchens. One small issue, the play area didn't seem to get cleared on a regular basis and there were glasses left on the floor.
