Welcome to The Surf House
A beautiful guesthouse on the wave-pounded shores of Morocco.
Sparkling seas, bright blue skies, nothing and no-one for miles.
But then you hear the first whisper…
The woman who stayed here before you – who walked the same beaches, met the same guests – disappeared one year earlier, vanishing without a trace.
Every room tells a story.
Every guest hides a secret.
Every holiday has an end.
