We loved this little cottage, overlooking the sea, rustic and full of character, that has been built with reclaimed timbers, old wharf beams and recycled windows, and so much more. Has a basic little kitchen and a BBQ outside, so we went prepared with easy to cook meals. You are a long way out of town, but that is what makes this bolthole special, it is quiet, with the roar of the sea just down the hill. Going back in the summer, for a different feel. ##### Raewyn Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### carol Apr 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Lovely setting and friendly hosts, thanks so much! ##### carol Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Outstanding location to stay and have a break.

The accommodation was lovely, well equipped and with spectacular views of the sea and beach. The lack of air conditioning was however a bit of a drawback since this meant it was necessary to have windows open and then there were a lot of flies which came into the room. This seemed to be more of a problem on the day that the grass had been cut. Not sure if that's just coincidental or not. The communal fire-pit was a real bonus. Our hosts were happy to provide logs and we had a fabulous final evening admiring the views in front of a lovely log fire. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 15, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Great place close to the beach.

My school friend and I, now 65, visited Ahu Ahu Beach villas for a chance to catch up on old times and to explore the Taranaki area. We were enchanted by the rustic style of the villas and the quality of the furnishings and linen. There is a window seat looking out towards the wide sea view where we sat and talked for hours enjoying the sunset and watching the bird life hopping around on the grass. It is a quiet, relaxing setting. It was a short walk down to the rugged west coast beach where there were few people, a lone fisherman, a couple walking their dog and some horse riders cantering along the sand. A great place to get together with friends and enjoy a special part of New Zealand. ##### Claire Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 7, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great two days Not your usual motel unit. A mixture of old and new, second hand and new. Full of character. Kitchen well equipped and bed and linen all good quality. A great place to stay and relax for a couple of nights out of the city. Everything we needed and well worth the extra to stay here. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve Jun 16, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommend The only downside to our stay was that our time here was too short.

Pour 3 nuits passée, je me suis souvenue de mes rêves de chaque nuit, ce qui est rare. Ce qui me semble t'il, est gage d'un habitat sain. ( pollution électromagnétique faible) Par contre un appareil pour les quelques sandflies (raquette ou autre), ou moustiquaire à une fenêtre au moins aurait été appréciée. ##### Bruno Stayed 3 nights in May 2017 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Matt Feb 7, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### A beautiful spot with unique rustic charm & style A great place to stay, we'll go back. Picturesque setting. Unique buildings. Owners are perfectly unobtrusive, but welcoming at the same time. Immediate access to the water if the surf's up. Loads to do in the adjacent countryside & city. ##### Matt Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise Jan 17, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Ahu Ahu villas was a great location. the villas were very well equipped and while not cheap were value for money. ##### Denise Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 30, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hidden Gem If you looking for a place to relax forget about the 9-5 this is the place, beautiful villa with character, easy access to the beach, short drive to main centre if u need supplies ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan Jul 17, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### What a view An amazing location and lovely hosts.

Thanks Naula ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tobias Mar 10, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Schön eingerichtet und mit tollem Meerblick Wir verbrachten zu zweit 1 Nacht hier in einer der Studio-Villas. Gleich nach Ankunft begrüßte uns der Eigentümer sehr freundlich. Das Zimmer ist großzügig bemessen mit vielen Glasflächen, um die wirklich schöne Aussicht genießen zu können. Es gibt neben dem Bett eine Küchenleiste inkl. Herdplatten, und einen Esstisch. Draußen steht ein Grill, der wohl auch von den Nachbarn benutzt werden kann. Infrastruktur in Form von Restaurants und Shops in unmittelbarer Nähe fehlen, dafür ist es eben sehr ruhig gelegen. Der zum Teil von Surfern genutzte Sandstrand ist gut zu erreichen und auch zum Baden geeignet. Der leicht höhere Preis rechtfertigt sich hier allein schon durch die Lage. Die Zimmer gefallen wie auch uns der gesamte Aufenthalt. ##### Tobias ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Lakefront Luxury](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Lakefront-Luxury.h37329794.Hotel-Information) > - [Ormlie Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Waiohiki-Hotels-Ormlie-Lodge.h9626443.Hotel-Information) > - [The Waterlily Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihi-Hotels-The-Waterlily-Gardens.h21518126.Hotel-Information) > - [Possum Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Manapouri-Hotels-Possum-Lodge.h76981300.Hotel-Information) > - [Cabot Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Manapouri-Hotels-Cabot-Lodge.h27335613.Hotel-Information) > - [The White Elephant Accommodation - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Motueka-Hotels-The-White-Elephant-Accommodation.h9624615.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > - [Avon Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hawera-Hotels-Avon-Motel.h9629592.Hotel-Information) > - [Maruia Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Lewis-Pass-Hotels-Maruia-Hot-Springs.h17262379.Hotel-Information) > - [Motueka TOP 10 Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Motueka-Hotels-Motueka-TOP-10-Holiday-Park.h7015031.Hotel-Information) > - [Solitaire Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Solitaire-Lodge.h3840.Hotel-Information) > - [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > - [Sennen House](https://www.expedia.ca/Picton-Hotels-Sennen-House.h7120592.Hotel-Information) > - [Discovery Countrytime Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Omarama-Hotels-Discovery-Countrytime-Hotel.h1145773.Hotel-Information) > - [Absolute Bliss](https://www.expedia.ca/Paihia-Hotels-Absolute-Bliss.h9626254.Hotel-Information) > - [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > - [Mt Cook View Motel - Fox Glacier](https://www.expedia.ca/Fox-Glacier-Hotels-Mt-Cook-View-Motel.h7275200.Hotel-Information) > - [Westwood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Westwood-Lodge.h1030417.Hotel-Information) > - [Sundowner Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Greymouth-Hotels-Sundowner-Motel.h19166307.Hotel-Information) > - [Abel Tasman Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Marahau-Hotels-Abel-Tasman-Lodge.h20040118.Hotel-Information) > - [Prodigal Daughter Gourmet Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Martinborough-Hotels-Prodigal-Daughter-Gourmet-Lodge.h39405385.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakeview Colonial Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Colonial-Village-Motel.h11453583.Hotel-Information) > - [Parklands Motorlodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Turangi-Hotels-Parklands-Motorlodge.h918774.Hotel-Information) > - [Kumiko's Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Waipara-Hotels-Kumikos-Guest-House.h98505532.Hotel-Information) > - [Acacia Lodge Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mangonui-Hotels-Acacia-Lodge-Motel.h2600471.Hotel-Information) > - [Falcons Nest](https://www.expedia.ca/Cromwell-Hotels-Falcons-Nest.h31053004.Hotel-Information) > - [JetPark Hotel Hamilton Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Jet-Park-Hotel-Hamilton-Airport.h4281130.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakes Lodge Okataina](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Okataina-Hotels-Lakes-Lodge-Okataina.h88669411.Hotel-Information) > - [Carrick Lodge Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cromwell-Hotels-Carrick-Lodge-Motel.h9626119.Hotel-Information)
