Mathew and Elizabeth were wonderfully accommodating hosts and explained so much of the nature and the varieties of fruit and food producing plants that are growing on their property. Mathew is very knowledgeable and experienced in his permaculture farming and understands the nature of the Big Island so well and how to keep biodiversity there thriving! He is passionate about preserving the nature of the Island which I agree with and look forward to returning again and learning more myself.
The rental cottage was the perfect getaway for me to experience the jungle and living right in the center of nature! I loved being greeted by the geckos in the morning as I made my coffee and ate the fruit that was grown there on their property, some of the best papayas I have tasted along with sweet plantains and fresh citrus! It was so comfortable staying there and being sung to sleep by all the Coqui frogs at night what a delight! There is definitely something magical about this place and I am looking forward to coming back again and hopefully for a longer stay!
Thank you so much Mathew and Elizabeth for providing this experience for me and for the education as well there is so much more that I am interested in learning about!!!
Mahalo nui loa!
