Had an amazing time at the Ayikoo Beach House. The view is out of this world! The accommodation is comfortable, well maintained and very welcoming. Highly recommended!

Mid March I had the privilege to stay in the beach house for a few days. What a wonderfully attractive house, what a beautiful garden and also 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, conviviality and privacy if you wish. Never before have I been in the middle of the night. Never before in Ghana have I seen a beach so clean. There is plenty to do in the vicinity of the beach house. But that is not necessary at all. Just being, enjoying, it was allowed, it went without saying. From the bottom of my heart I can recommend Ayikoo beachhouse to everyone. To anyone who loves nature, the sea, but also comfort and 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 full energy.

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 previous revieuw mentions the word 'spooky'. If this means the same as atmospheric, full of character and fully equipped, then I agree : )The friendly and helpful staff ensured safety, nice company and privacy when needed. Never before have I been with my feet in sea in the middle of the night. Never before in Ghana have I seen a beach so clean. There is enough 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, but also comfort and 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 full energy.

Lovely house, simply furnished but fully equipped. Beautiful location, lovely private beach, close to a village (guided tour worthwhile), lazing in hammocks and the sea at the door, nice temperature all year round. Next to restaurants (run by Dutch) has a great menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Highly recommended

At just a 20 minutes drive from the historic town of Cape Coast and the colonial castle in Elmina, you’ll find the ‘Ayikoo Beach House’. The ‘Ayikoo Beach house’ is perfectly located in tropical idyllic surrounds with a quiet sandy beach right at your doorstep. Basic yet fully furnished with 4 spaceous bedrooms (2 large doubles and 2 smaller doubles), 4 bathrooms, a large living room and a cosy veranda with a stunning view over the Atlantic Ocean.

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.
