The yurt is wonderfully close to the Main Street of Hawi, a charming town with a great coffee shop, local foods market and deli, and galleries, and just a 20-minute drive from the breathtakingly gorgeous Pololū valley. The living space is nestled in an old macadamia nut orchard and comes with an outdoor kitchen that gets the best morning light. The bed is comfortable, the space inside small and functional, and extended by an open-space lounge area (there’s interesting reading material about Hawaii).
It being a yurt means that nature is always very close. I stayed there during two incredibly stormy nights and could definitely hear the wind rattling very close to me. But that’s part of the charm of island life!
Heidi was speedy at responding to all questions and reached out herself to provide updated info — an absolute pleasure to communicate with! She was also kind enough to give a tour of all the fruit trees growing on the property.
