We stayed at Jeflani for 4 nights and couldn't have been more pleased!
The yurt was incredibly comfortable, and well-appointed with nicer finishes than we were expecting. It was impeccably clean and came with basic kitchen essentials, nice appliances, comfy linens, good AT&T coverage and basic wi-fi service.
The wrap around lanai was perfect for enjoying our morning cup of Kona coffee and our evening chardonnay.
We loved the sounds of coqui frogs at night, and the roosters, chickens and ducks in the morning. The occasional overnight rain shower was pleasant and not loud at all.
This place is pretty remote, and yes, the roads are not smooth...at all. A 4-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle is an absolutely necessary. Don't even try it with a Mustang or Camaro. Follow the directions Jim sends to you in advance and you will be just fine.
Jim and Mercy were great hosts and have taken great care to make sure those who stay at Jeflani enjoy this beautiful part of Hawaii with all the comforts of home, with Big Island style.
