Ayikoo Beach House Ghana
-
Mid March I had the privilege to stay in the beach house for a few days. What a wonderful attractive house, what a beautiful garden and the beach and the sea a few meters away. The house had everything a person can imagine for a comfortable stay. The friendly and helpful staff ensured safety, nice company and privacy when needed. Never before have I been with my feet in the sea in the middle of the night. Never before in Ghana have I seen a beach so clean. There is plenty to do in the area around the beach house. But that is not necessary at all. Just being, enjoying, it was allowed, it went automatically.. From the bottom of my heart I can recommend Ayikoo beachhouse to everyone. To anyone who loves nature, the sea, beautiful vieuws but also comfort and anyone who wants to get away from stress, crowds and obligations. It was only three days, enough to be able to enter the hustle and bustle of Accra with peace of mind and new energy.

Such a lovely place to be Great house with everything you need inside The beach is so beautiful and the people around are so friendly and honest. The kids just love it making campfires catching fish in the night (with a torchlight pointed on the sea, fish are jumping out), sea in front and a lagoon at the back they are enjoying all day discovering nature

We had a wonderful time at the beach-house! We really enjoyed the garden; our own beach- front, under the palm trees. Relaxing in the Hammock or beach-chair, after a swim. The weather was not too warm and the children loved to play in the sand, sea or just around the house. We also enjoyed a walk to the nearby village for some basic shopping and to watch the fisherman returning with their catch-of- the-day. Dinner recommended at KO-SA, on a walking distance over the beach. Thanks a lot for everything! Marjolein & Divine

A fantastic location to spend the Nieuwjaarsduik 2019! We have been well taken care off by the “concierge” at Ayikoo Beachhouse. We wanted to have a BBQ and asked Immanuelle to pick up fish from the village! He returned with a beautiful fish that he helped to clean and BBQ. The next day we were keen to have lobster for dinner. Again Immanuelle picked up a bucket of lobster that we cooked for dinner the next day! Walking distance for food and/or drinks at KoSa Beach and Charlestina beach resort. We enjoyed a great New Year’s Eve in Ampenyi!

A stay at the beach house is a unique experience; watching the sunset whilst local fisherman take their canoos to shore after their nightly fishing. Or just wandering off on the endless stretch of beach, far away from hectic city life. A perfect place to allow your Ghana impressions to sink in.
Check out more pictures from our Beach House here.
The Beach house is near Cape Coast, the canopy bridges in Kakum national park, as well as the British and Dutch colonial castles along the coast, keeping the memory of the tragic slave trade alive.

Our tips
Ghana has a wide variety of fresh fruit. There are many fruitstalls at Ayensudo junction selling mango, watermelon, pineapple etc (just a 5 min. drive from the house). Fresh coconuts are in our garden.
You can create you own smoothie (the kitchen is equipped with a blender)

Fishermen sell their catch of the day right on the beach. So... do a seafood barbecue!
You can find utensils and a bbq in the kitchen. Charcoal is easily available in the village.

The garden has its own fireplace. Enjoy a good old bonfire with a glass of wine, the stars, the moon and the sound of waves in the background.
Bring some marshmellows along to roast, if you have kids.
