Amazing class and top staff. I did the artisan bread making class and I can say was fab! Dez, Amy and the boys were very friendly and professional. Dez shows us how to make tasty bread and especially made it look nice! We had lunch and we took home all our creations. Thank you Flavours School of Cookery for the experience!

We had been using Beryl Bikes but wanted to cycle for a day and wanted helmets. We saw this shop near our hotel and it was the same price so decided to go here. The gentleman was very helpful in selecting the right bikes for us including helmets and a lock. We had a great day!

How to describe it? I’m not sure, and even if I could, I wouldn’t do it justice. When you stand up on your first wave it is the uncontrollable, throw your hands in the air and scream feeling, if only for a few seconds!! Once you can ride a wave, it is the undeniable urge to go back for more, and when you are on the beach and the sun is shining it is enormous fun!! Learn to surf...the only way you can really understand what all the fuss is about is to get some gear and get wet!! That’s where we can help.
