Unique property with architecture interests and cliff top view of the ocean. The sound of the tides has calming effect to put me into sleep and I loved that very much. The only very small thing is the water pressure of the shower is quite low.. but still highly recommended and I myself would love to come back to stay again

This is an outstanding property with spectacular views and very beautifully presented for a wonderful relaxing get away.

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 thats 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.

We enjoyed our stay but the flies were terrible. Thought there would be more privacy.

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.

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.

The only downside to our stay was that our time here was too short. This is a charming seaside villa with lovely owners. We were very comfortable and the villa is spacious enough for our family of four. Would love to go back.

The fire pits out front are amazing! The cottage was clean and very spacious.

Ahu Ahu villas was a great location. the villas were very well equipped and while not cheap were value for money.

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

An amazing location and lovely hosts. Would definitely stay here again

One of the best experience my family had at AhuAhu villa, very cozy and private, beach to yourself. Thanks Naula

Owners went out of their way to make everything perfect. The villas were large and charming, more than I expected. I will be going back to visit in the near future. Beach at the bottom of the cliff, very accessible. Romantic, secluded andabsolutely beautiful!

The villas are imaginatively constructed using mainly recycled materials and to a high standard. It is well worthwhile staying here as the complex is quiet, private and very welcoming. We thoroughly recommend this accommodation to people who appreciate the unusual and the thoughtful. There are some very interesting architectural and artistic touches to enjoy as well.
