It Began With A $1000 House
An abandoned house, left untouched for years and slowly disappearing beneath overgrown vegetation.
We bought it for just $1000 and began restoring it ourselves, one step at a time.
Preserving the character of the old house, we gradually transformed it into a small, private retreat.
Old Charm, Everyday Comfort
A traditional Japanese house with traces of the Showa era.
Weathered wooden pillars and beams, walls finished with natural diatomaceous earth plaster, and a slightly unconventional tatami room.
We’ve brought together the old and the new, allowing the character of the house to remain while making it comfortable for everyday living.
Nothing overly polished or formal.
Just the charm of an old Japanese house, with all its little quirks and unexpected details.
Just Steps Away From the Beach
It takes just 10 seconds from the house to the beach
The beach is only a short walk from AKIYA nehemiah.
Take a quiet morning walk along the shore or watch the colours of the sky change at sunset.
You don’t need a packed itinerary to enjoy the simple pleasure of being by the water.
A Place For Your Dog Too
Dogs are part of the family.
Whether it’s relaxing on the tatami or soaking up the sun on the deck, we hope nehemiah feels a little like home for them, too.
The Rooms
An open, connected space where the character of an old Japanese house invites you to settle in.
Bedroom + Tatami Room
Original timber beams, black plaster walls and an adjoining bedroom and tatami room, retaining the character of an older Japanese home.
Kitchen
A floating kitchen above the traditional doma floor.
Everything you need to prepare meals and enjoy time together, just as you would at home.
Bathroom
A traditional Japanese Goemon-buro bath.
Sink into the warm water, relax and enjoy a quiet moment looking out towards the small zen garden.
Terrace
Share a meal with your dog by your side, listen to the waves, or simply enjoy doing nothing at all.
