vacationMy friends and their kids were staying at the nearby Kulaniapua Inn, but that was out of my budget and I wanted my own space. The yurt proved to be a great solution and was much roomier than expected. I really appreciated the farm eggs and fresh produce provided for use in the kitchen. Shower essentials were also available. Be forewarned that the dry section of the showering area is not enclosed, so you'll have to retrieve your clothes in a towel to change in the enclosed area where you showered. Still, I loved the outdoor shower. If you check in during the day, you should put the provided solar lanterns outside to get a fuller charge than they get inside the tent. I also recommend bringing a good external battery or other mechanism for charging your cell phone or tablet when not near electrical plugs. That way you can minimize the time needed to spend indoors, if you aren't comfortable leaving your devices in the barn. Also, the only bathroom is currently upstairs in the barn, so that's a little bit of an inconvenience. It has three walls and a curtain and no ceiling, so heads up if you have a shy bladder. 😁
All in all, the bed was totally comfy and the space really exceeded my expectations. It rained during my stay, but the inside of the tent stayed dry. The roosters helped keep me from sleeping my vacation away. The hosts were super friendly and accommodating. Super bummed I wasn't able to make it out to the farm. But the grounds are gorgeous and I got a good hike and visit to the picturesque Kulaniapia Falls in before I left. I got recommend this airbnb for a unique and wonderful experience on the Big Island!
