Quick Facts
Overview
The surf guest-house in Soustons is perfect for you when campsites are not for you and you prefer to stay in a cozy house. You can also park your van or pitch your tent. As the property is located in a quiet location in the hinterland, a rental car is mandatory.
The French Atlantic coast, especially the region around Hossegor, is the surfing mecca of Europe par excellence. The «Quiksilver Pro» World Surfing Championships will also be held there in autumn. The region also impresses with its typical pine forests, the many small lakes and the longest sandy beach in Europe. The «Lac de Soustons» is easily accessible on foot from the camp base. There are also very well-connected cycle paths that stretch along the entire coast. The nearest beach is only 6 kilometers away and the top surfing spots such as Les Casernes, Les Bourdaines and Les Estagnots can be easily reached by car in 15 to 20 minutes. With this location between Hossegor and Vieux Boucau, away from the tourist mile, you can enjoy the holidays and still be in the middle of the action soon. Because from July to September party is the order of the day in Seignosse and Hossegor’s Plage Central: surf film premieres, contests, concerts and parties without end!

- Own skatebowl and miniramp in the camp

The chilly EWC guest-house is connected to the completely renovated barn by a spacious wooden deck, which not only contains a lot of passion and love, but also a sweet bar and the indoor skate mini ramp as well as the cinema. On the nearly 5000m2 plot there are small niches, hammocks, chill corner and the outdoor mini ramp and the DIY Skate Bowl everywhere. The swimming pool and the huge green garden will give you the perfect recreational factor!

Accommodation options
Guest-house
You will be accommodated in one of the cozy multi-bed rooms (4 beds). The hotel has a roof over the head, fresh bed linen and bathrooms reserved exclusively for the guest, shared use of the fridge and the food box in each room.
Bungalow Double/Single Use
Of course, you can also treat yourself to the variant in your own bungalow. The bungalows are very lovingly furnished with large double bed, small terrace etc. These can be booked alone or in pairs. Perfect for couples or simply because you can.
Caravan Double/Single Use
If you prefer to stay alone or as a couple, the optimally used caravan rooms are ideal. You can book them as double or single rooms.
Camping: Bus & Tent
If you are travelling with your tent or are cruising through the area by bus, you are just as welcome. With the bus you can tap on the electricity and for the tents there are a few nice shady places in the garden. The outdoor kitchen & bathroom/showers are also available.
Check-out time at 11am and check-in time at 2pm, so there is plenty of time to be able to move into the room and bed in clean condition. If the times don’t suit you, let us know!
Food
Every day we serve you an extensive breakfast buffet, so that you also have enough paddle/surf power. In the evening, the cooking team conjures up culinary delicacies for a fair price of EUR 10. Simply enter the list the night before and you are there.
For self-catering, our rudimentary outdoor kitchen is available for free use. If it is supposed to be a local treat, our hamlet of Soustons offers various things such as the creperie, La Pizzetta or the inconspicuous fish restaurant at the roundabout.
Entertainment
In addition to surfing, surfing and surfing again, you can either plunge into the mini-ramp, play poker for dinner or the next drink at the bar, take a cocktail competition, rip in the skate park or simply walk to the lake of Soustons Chilling. For the never-satisfied athletes, the surf guest-house winds small forest paths on which you can jog perfectly, or you swing on the saddle and pedal on the bike paths.
