Amazing little bungalow in the rainforest! Janelle was a great host and brought us a lovely basket of fresh fruit. The outdoor shower was so fun and the sounds at night were exotic but not overwhelming. Would love to stay here again!

3 nights at Hawaiian Retreat

Cabin worked great! It's well stocked for the kitchen, and the outdoor shower was warm and had great water pressure. Directions made it easy to find, and you're pretty well removed from traffic and people. I will mention two things: the tree frogs and some wild pigs are pretty active at night, so you may need earplugs. Second is that you'll wake up with the sun, so if that's not in your plans, a sleep mask wouldn't go amiss.

1 night at Jungle Meets The Ocean

Jeff was an awesome host sharing his 'living the dream' spot. He was flexible about timing, super generous in his hospitality and refreshingly ecologically and socially conscious. It was wonderful to witness and experience being in such a low throughout mini homestead with all the needed amenities. In the morning it was sweet to share meditation time and fresh orange juice from his trees. I recommend meeting this wise, kind, and humble resident of the Island full of good cheer, great stories, and offering a peaceful spot from which you can hear ocean waves all eve. Thanks for a grounding place to sleep for our last eve on the island Jeff!

Simone was a warm, welcoming host. She was flexible about my shifting time of arrival, explained all of the ecologically conscious systems, gave a tour so I understood the layout, and was super friendly. What is happening at this site is really good medicine and I wholeheartedly recommend this place for folks looking for an ecologically and socially conscious place to stay when visiting Hawaii.
