Straight across the road from the beach, Ahipara Beachfront Studio allows you to make the best of coastal living.
Wake up and check the surf, walk down to the beach for a swim. Low tide exposes sandy bottom rock pools directly out front, some deep enough for swimming
Eat outdoors, relax in the hammock chairs, and let the sound of the surf lull you to sleep.
Or.....cosy up inside with the blinds down and binge on Netflix to your heart's content. We have ultra fast fibre, so stream away.
The studio is the ground floor of a two storey house - completely separate from the first floor, with no internal access. The garage also occupies the ground floor, and is separated from the studio by an internal wall (also no internal access). The garage is a shared space as that is the location of the washing machine, although most guests do not make use of it.
The 40sqm space is simple and open-plan, with retro block walling.
The bi-fold door can open up half the front wall to let in the sea air, and the deck catches the sun at the front with shelter at the rear of the deck provided by the balcony above.

A FEW THINGS TO NOTE:
As there is a guest space above you, you will likely hear footsteps if there is anybody staying, so please be aware of that.
The plumbing is on a macerator system,
and when the taps or shower are run, or the toilet is flushed you will hear the macerator grinding and the pump running, it's much noisier than a regular system, and not peaceful for anybody sleeping.
It also means nothing out of the ordinary can be flushed down the toilet, as the macerator is a delicate wee soul.
Our driveway is very steep. If you don't feel confident driving up and backing down a steep driveway, or doing a hill start, our place may not be for you.
In saying that, there is a grass parking space next to the road at the bottom of the driveway.
If you are bringing a camper, or your car is exceptionally low you will probably have to park at the bottom and walk up.
If you are looking for something with a little more space, check out The Beach House Ahipara, which is the top storey.
