Nicaragua's Best Surf Rental at Hacienda Iguana

Aaagh! A block of text! Yep, its boring. Click here to skip to the bottom of the page and see the rest of the photos...
We are located in Nicaragua's picturesque South West within the
Hacienda Iguana resort. The house is newly built - finished last year -
and is, I think, a true paradise. My favourite break which I surf every
day at dawn is located less than 3 minutes from my bed. There's no need
to check the forecast, or the tide. There's always surf. And if there
isn't, well, there's always plenty else to keep me occupied. And the
tide hardly matters at all. Each phase just gives different waves, all
of them beautiful in their own right.
What Is There To Do?
Loads! On the odd days that there's no swell, or the wind gets a bit
strong (January & February, occasionally) there are ton's of other
things to do. For example play golf on Hacienda Iguana's challenging
9-holer which is an extension to our back garden. The fishing here is
also first rate. And the local technique of chucking a naked hook into
great schools of fish and hauling them out is testament to the stock
levels. If you are prepared to drive, then the ferry for Ometepe is
nearby. And day trips to Granada can be culturally illuminating - as
can the Pali in Rivas.
The Guest House
We built the guest house for my parents who come and stay during the
long English winters. The concept behind it was that it would be
completely independent of the main house, whilst benefiting
equally from the views, terraces, swimming pool and garden. And as with
all the other details, the architect did a fine job. The guest house
itself comprises two amply sized, comfortably appointed en-suite
bedrooms, a living room and a full kitchen. The terraces have a high
quality outside dining table, a table tennis table, and a few deck
chairs scattered about. The whole house is air conditioned. The guest
house comfortably sleeps 4 people. If you need more sleeping space then
we have two further bedrooms in the main house which can be occupied as
needed. These bedrooms both have direct access from the pool terrace,
and are equipped to the same high standard as the rest of the house.
One has a queen bed and the other a pair of twins. We charge $60 per
night for each extra room. So, with both extra rooms taken you end up
with four.
