Useful things to know

Location

9 Kerley Road, Bournemouth, BH25DW

We are located in central Bournemouth on the West Cliff nestled in a horse shoe road called Kerley Road. The surf shack is located around the back of Havana Beach (previously known as Yellowstones Beach House/ Surfer Hotel). Please do not ring the bell of the house but come around the back of the property down the driveway to the right.

Parking

There is no parking on site, drop off zone only please. There is nearby parking on the cliff top, at the BIC or a small carpark on Beacon Road all in walking distance to us.

What to bring

You will need swim wear and a towel, we are an undercover outdoor area so make sure you wrap up warm, however everyone is super toasty in the hot tub.

What if it rains

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Our venue is under cover so is nice and cosy even on those windy and rainy days! But don’t worry, if the sun is shining we also have a huge private patio area with big chill-out outdoor sofas to relax and catch a few rays.

Licensed Bar

We are a licensed premises (Not BYO, please!) We have a great priced bar menu serving Prosecco, beer, cocktails, spirits and mixers as well as tea, coffee and soft drinks, etc. and bar tender on call to serve you your drinks. Cash or card accepted.

Shower/WC

We have an outside enclosed warm shower and a portaloo on site (not the most glamorous but does the job!)

Food

If you require food, then please consider either the Afternoon Tea Package or the Barbecue Package. We can accommodate cakes you may want to bring along for a celebration, but please do not bring any other food.

Decorations

You are welcome to arrive 30 mins early to decorate the venue… however all decorations must be removed upon departure. Please no confetti or balloons. We do find that our space is so unique/ surf-shacky anyway that it doesn’t really need much extra decoration, so save yourself the time and extra expense and enjoy our quirky venue.

Music

We have speakers here and an iPod with a selection of music. However, you are welcome to use our AUX lead and plug in your own choice of music. Please respect our neighbours.

Films

We have a selection of DVDs, some classic chick flicks (think Dirty Dancing, Magic Mike, etc.) and also some classic surf movies (Endless Summer, etc.). If you have a specific movie you would like to watch then you are welcome to bring the DVD. Some groups ask to run a slide show of photos – again, if this is saved onto a DVD, we can play it on the big screen.
