Garrett’s yurt was a magical place to stay. The views of sunset between the fruit trees on his small coffee farm were unmatched anywhere else on the islands. Location wise, it was close to an awesome grey sand beach, Hookena, and a hiking trail down to captain cook monument where we did some of the best snorkeling ever.
The yurt itself was super comfortable and we loved the cute little gecko that was always warming itself on the wifi router at night. The coque frogs at night do get kind of loud, but we slept fine in the comfy bed. If you’re a light sleeper, you might want to bring ear plugs though. The kitchen and bathroom area were outside of the yurt in a covered area but were clean and not buggy. Just lots of cute green geckos!
The outdoor shower was cool and very secluded, but doesn’t get much light which might be an issue for you if you’re a night showerer. We personally were fine though and enjoyed feeling like we were just showering under the starts.
Garret as a host was great! Very communicative and when I accidentally left a couple dresses after we left, he worked with me to figure out a time to go get them back. He gave some great local recos and was very friendly.
10/10 awesome experience and we hope to come back in the future!
