The tap dripped at night, but placing the dishcloth underneath solved the problem. It would have been good to have air-con.

The location was fantastic and the ocean and beach views were amazing. It was a very chilled and relaxing place to stay. The kitchen was well equipped for self-catering and we only made the 10min trip to Ōākura once to visit Butler's Reef restaurant for tea - highly recommend this place for delicious food. Everything about the Villa was great. Families with kids and couples would enjoy staying here.

Everything was perfect!

Our family of three stayed at the Ahu Ahu Beach Villas for three nights in the Green Window Villa. We had a queen bed downstairs and two twin beds in the loft. Such an incredible stay at an amazing property! Our villa had everything we needed and it felt like home. We could have literally moved in! Bring your own groceries or stop at the Coundown Spotswood grocery store or the Four Square Oakura down the road to stock up. Coffee, tea, sugar and milk are available in the villa. There are many wonderful restaurants in the area including Toret Cucina Italiana. We ate there one night and the meal was delicious. The villa is a great mix of eclectic vibe, cozy comfort and quiet serenity. We couldn’t wait to get back to the villa each day after touring the area to relax and unwind. A glass of wine outside while viewing the sea is magic! We walked on the nearly empty beach each night to watch the sunset. It’s a must each day of your stay! Or if you want, take a dip in the ocean. Don’t forget to shut off all the lights at night after dark and look at the star clustered sky. It’s truly an amazing sight! Definitely read the photo book detailing the origins and history of the villas. You will appreciate your stay even more. It was such a pleasure to speak with Seth and David one day during our visit. We wish we could come back every year but alas, it’s much too far for us from the United States. Thanks to everyone at Ahu Ahu Beach Villas for making our stay so magical!

The main bed was too soft for me so I went up to the loft to a single bed that was fine. My spouse stayed asleep lol

You would not find a more gorgeous view.

Disappointed that we didn't get to stay longer this time.

The warm-welcoming staff welcomed us to our beautifully pre-heated villa which was absolutely lovely and very comfortable. It has stunning coastline views and the whole environment carries such wonderfully high warm and positive energetics for anyone wanting a cosy, loving retreat away.

Nothing. WiFi was consistent but low strength signal. TBH unsure of speed because when you have such a georgious place and environment who wants to look at internet or TV?!

The relaxed vibe, the amazing accommodation, the location, the pet friendly hosts. Everything basically!

The cottage was super cute and felt like we were back in Europe again. As we were arriving late, our host had the lights and heaters on so was lovely and cosy when we arrived.
