WOW! I will remember this place for the rest of my life, what a special slice of heaven Kutira and Raphael’s place was.
Your breath WILL be taken away daily! The waterfalls, views, and spaces on the property are infinitely more beautiful than any of the local hiking trails nearby. We never wanted to leave! The outdoor shower is SO cool, you see the sunset every morning FROM BED, the land is so peaceful and full of beautiful nature sounds. You have the option of doing yoga during the week in the mornings, ON the property!!! And by serious yogis who know their stuff!
And the space was only second to the AMAZING hosts, such genuine/kindhearted people who care so deeply about you and the world around us, it was truly an honor to be a guest! They kept us laughing and made us feel so welcome!
When we did go out, the towns nearby are stellar! Paia is eclectic and SO fun, right before sunset we would watch the sea turtles eat in the bay, we saw at least 15 the two nights we went! Thanks to our hosts for the tip on the beach! We also visited Glen at the Temple of Peace in Haiku and had THE best massage of our lives! Also, suggested by our hosts!
Who would have thought an Airbnb would have such a profound positive impact on our lives, we definitely are keeping this place in our hearts forever! We can’t wait to come back, and would definitely come back JUST to visit Kutira and Raphael’s one more time, I’m already looking to book again for next year and I’m not even home yet!
