For surfers: Simple breakfast will be offered. Help yourself with tea and snacks too. Please clean after yourself. No smoking indoors. We don’t party late and generally we expect surfers to be back by 10pm.
With a busy schedule we expect surfers to be self sufficient.

Almost always I cook big and healthy meal for guests but cannot promise that for everyday.

Please let us know your approximate schedule so we know when you are in or out of the house.

*please start your request with the word “willow”*.
