From the 6th till the 17th of June the Rancho is booked by the Lightning Bolt crew (there’s a good chance legendary surfers Rory Russell and Lightning Bolt’s ‘brand’ manager Jonathan Paskowitz will be coming). They will not only be enjoying the surf, hospitality and delicious food they will also be shooting footage for their next catalog. Sorry if you were planning to come over in this period because they have booked the whole place! We are looking forward to seeing our paradise in their catalog and wish them a happy stay and even better waves!  Check out Lightning Bolt atwww.lightningbolt.eu.com

A book about Dutch owned B&B’s, hotels and Lodges around the world just came out and of course we are in it! It’s in Dutch so may be a bit hard to read. You can have a look at the publishers website.
