Wave House Resort Canggu

My Wife and I stayed here from 03 - 10/08 24. We cannot recommend Wave House enough! The accomodation is lovely, the room was big, light, clean and the bed was very comfy. We don't travel light and there was lots of storage and space so the room didn't feel cluttered. The bathroom is nice and clean. The food at the restaurant is really nice, we had breakfast everyday and lunch after surfing. The food is good quality along with the service! The surfing instruction is excellent too. We were complete novices and left after the week comfortable on the intermediate level. Roy was great at the video analysis helping us with some tips. Another great bonus is the Finns VIP cards, this gives you free access to the Finns Rec Club (gym, saunas, pools, splash park) and also gives you VIP access to Fins Beach Club (priority bed allocation in VIP, no min spend, 15% off food and drink). We went to the Rec club twice and the beach club once, all really nice and a great perk. There are always lots of activities and excursions running, there was free yoga most days, a quiz, a group dinner and a movie night. All well organised and good fun. If I had any feedback it would be the price of excursions are a lot more than it would be to go yourself. For example, Tanahlot temple visit was advertised at 350,000 each, but having already been we knew tickets were only 70,000 and transport there was only 80,000 on Grab / GoJeck (for a car). Also, after each surf session the instructors would disappear for a shower and to grab themselves a coffee and everyone else was just left standing in a car park for about 10 mins. Would be nice if there were some refreshments afterwards, like on diveboats after a dive, some coffee and fruit for example. These points are minor and we would definitely recommend Wave House and we will be back for some more surfing and yoga

We stayed in Wave House for a week and it was the best surf camp experience we have had. The breakfast is top tier! Honestly felt like a hotel breakfast, delicious and the portions were great. Our camp room for girls was also great! Very clear room and bathroom that got cleaned daily, again, kind of felt like a hotel which was nice. The only small issue with the rooms was that it was very hot on the top bunk so would need to have the ac on all night, but there is nothing really that can be done about this and they did have an ac that was good. The instructors are great and the lessons were very good and so very well planned and organised (unlike a lot of camps we have been to). I think the one thing that stood out the most to us (after the food of course) was the after lesson video analysis. We had one after every session and the analysis was very detailed and thorough. The other camps we have been to just show you some low quality video of you and make one comment about it but here the coaches would go into great detail with what needs to be done to improve and would physically show us as well. The video quality was also so much better than anywhere else. Honestly the whole experience was amazing, the camp grounds themselves are beautiful and very well located, as well as giving very much a hotel vibe. Felt very fancy and the price was lower than a lot of other camps in Bali! The staff were all friendly and great! Professional organisation, lessons and instructors. One cool thing you also get with them is entry to Finns VIP Beach Club. You get a free sunbed and towels (no minimum spend so it's free no strings attached) in the VIP area for the whole day and some other cool perks (one free coffee, two free welcome drinks (one alcoholic if you want it to be) and an ice cream, free water all day 15% discount on all food and drinks!) and you get access to Finns recreation club with a gym and waterpark and much more. Both me and my sister loved it an honestly cannot wait to go back. Made the mistake of staying at another camp the week before and regretting not being at wave house for our whole 2 week holiday. Met lots of international people as well! Saw some reviews about the Russian speakers and yes, there were quite a few but all of them spoke in English and actually some seemed to prefer that so they could practice their English and interact with the rest of the international people.

I cannot recommend this accomodation for only a surf holiday. The teachers have different levels of competence, especially concerning weather and wave knowledge. Feedback on one's own abilities is almost exclusively given afterwards via video analysis and not directly in the water as I know it from other surf schools. In addition, little value is placed on personal circumstances. At a catch-up appointment as an external guest, I was told "bad luck, no new chance possible" because I could not reach the course in time due to the tense traffic situation (which was obiously not my fault at all). Also, the number of the yoga classes did not live up to what was promised on the website. However, I also had a good time on the camp's premises. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. The entire premises had appealing architecture and together with the facilities were inviting to relax and chill. The food was exquisite. And the location was very good since it only takes a five minutes walk to the beach.
