Santa Monica Home Lodge

Santa Monica Home Lodge is a self-catering lodge and residence in New Akrade, in the Asuogyaman District of Ghana's Eastern Region, near Atimpoku and Akosombo. It describes itself as an African traditional-themed boutique eco-lodge, and listings present it as a private gated compound set among gardens, pairing conventional comfort standards with traditional African interior design.

Accommodation is arranged as fully furnished self-catering apartments rather than standard hotel rooms. Listing platforms differ on unit sizes: AfroBookings describes 2-bedroom apartments, while other booking listings refer to 3- and 5-bedroom units. The apartments are described as having private terraces, air-conditioned bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, living rooms and fully equipped kitchens, with a private chef available on call.

Reported amenities vary slightly by source. AfroBookings lists DSTV, complimentary Wi-Fi, a games room, garden lounge spaces, a barbecue or fire pit area and secure gated parking. Booking.com lists garden and terrace areas, a hot tub, a shared kitchen and shared lounge, along with air-conditioning, private bathrooms, balcony, work desk and free WiFi, and garden or city views. Booking.com shows a guest rating of 9.4 from 15 reviews.

The published address is Hse No. EA-0007-3040, near the Community Centre, New Akrade, off Senchi Road. Platforms label the same property inconsistently — Booking.com files it under Senchi, Skyscanner and Agoda under Atimpoku or Akosombo, and Expedia and Hotels.com under Fiefiemu — so it is worth confirming the exact location before travelling. No coordinates were located in the sources reviewed.

For orientation, a Vrbo listing states distances of about 5 km to Adomi Bridge, 10 km to the Akwamu museum and 20 km to Akosombo Dam. Practical details such as rates, check-in times, minimum stays and whether the private chef or hot tub must be arranged in advance are not established by the available sources and should be confirmed directly with the property.
