Above is a photo of Ahipara, driving from Shipwreck Bay to Endless Summer Lodge. We stayed at the hostel for 9 days cleaning 1 hour a day for half price accommodation- which ended up being about $12 a person. It was a pretty great deal, because we would get our chores done in the morning and then have the rest of the day to surf! We surfed most days we were there. Johnny and Maegean tried it for the first time, Natalie for the second, and Bobby just got better and better! He acted as our own private surf instructor. It was great!
Endless Summer Lodge was an incredible hostel. Bebe and Paul (a really sweet young couple) were running it while the owners were on holiday. They were really cute, and the guys really like Paul. The house itself was one of the oldest villas in the area, and looked like a yellow plantation house. This is from the kitchen door down the main hall to the front door! We vacuumed and mopped this hall each morning. Not too shabby of a job when you look out and see the beautiful beach!
