Pros: fantastic animals everywhere! Really, can't overstate how cool it was to see/hold/pet the birds and tortoises, very very friendly and helpful caretakers/environment, clean/comfortable bed, excellent location to a great beach and Lahaina town.

Cons: bathroom doesn't really have the capability to be fully private, gate to open/close when leaving and entering with tight parking quarters, room got very hot in the evening, small fridge with not a lot of space left in it, spotty wifi

We had a nice time at the refuge. A true, 'beach life' stay. Kaimana wasn't there when we were staying, but the caretakers we interacted with were all very friendly and accommodating, always helpful and asking if there was anything they could do. They went out of their way to tour us around and introduce us to all the animals

Speaking of animals, they were fabulous! It's so cool to see tortoises just walking around, and you are encouraged to interact with everyone!

The room was clean and comfortable, though got very hot in the evening (lots of fans are provided...but the ceiling fan looked as if it might fall on us). There is a television with lots of channels and wifi (though that was quite spotty from our room).

The bathroom is a layout I've never seen before. You share a shower room with the other rented out bedroom, each has their own toilet, but the top of the toilet room into the shower room is open on both sides so you hear everything going on in the bathroom next to you. There are curtains, so you would never see anything, and you'd hear if someone was using the shower, but I felt a little exposed using the bathroom...list someone could walk in on me any second.

The kitchenette area for guests is a little small, I found the mini-fridge to be a bit too small for all the things current guests (and I suspect even past guests) had left.

The property is gated (with animals, of course it is). The gate itself is a little heavy/awkward to open and close, but if any of the caretakers are there they will help you. Parking is tight if there are two guests there at once, but again, if a caretaker is present they will help direct your car in and out.
