Staying at Suzie and Scott's property was an absolutely magical experience for our family this Christmas holiday. We were totally swept away by the property and its location tucked away in a charming area just minutes from a new black sand beach created by the volcanic eruptions last summer. Our children absolutely adored the property and the fun nature activities catching frogs, geckos and lizards. The property is situated in an area similar to a rain forest hence we were blessed with rain and sunshine on a daily basis. A true tropical experience!!! Suzy and Scott have created something very special with this property and it was the perfect holiday experience disconnecting from electronics to enjoy Mother Nature's gifts. Suzie and Scott were fantastic and welcomed us to the property with such a warm welcome and careful directions on how to settle into our new environs. The warm hospitality continued throughout our stay with Scott guiding us down to the new black sand beach for an authentic locals tour. He was even so kind to take my husband surfing!!! Thank you Scott for the machete too, very helpful to cut down those coconuts in the backyard and crack open. Yet another authentic experience!! Thank you Suzie for being so thoughtful hooking us up with Christmas lights so we could decorate the property for Christmas. Very sweet!!! The two housing units were darling and the perfect amount of space for our family of 5. We just loved how they designed each of the housing units with private bathrooms and outdoor showers; both of which were very clean. WE especially LOVED the outdoor showers!!! All bedrooms were very clean and decorated nicely with attention to detail. The sliding doors on both housing units were such a nice touch allowing us to open the doors at night to feel at one with nature. AMAZING!!! The hot tub was fantastic and very clean, the water had been fully changed just prior to our arrival. The kitchen was tucked in between the two housing units which was another great design strategy creating privacy. Grandma was staying with our kids in the unit with 1 bedroom and outdoor living area with the futon (perfect set up for kids & Grandma). We did not hear our kids the entire time! The kitchen and living room area provided an awesome outdoor experience as it opens up to the backyard. Totally cute!!! There were a great number of games available for the kids to play and we enjoyed a nice game of horse shoes on Christmas day. The fire pit was perfect for grilling steaks on Christmas and there were plenty of sitting areas in the backyard allowing us to kick our feet up for stargazing at night. Brilliant stargazing! Thank you Scott and Suzie for allowing us to experience your magical property. What you've created is truly special and we feel blessed that we had the opportunity to stay with you. We were inspired. The only challenge we encountered was saying goodbye. Our son was sooooo sad to leave, his highlight was running around the property with a net catching frogs, lizards and geckos. The headlights you provided were a nice touch for frog catching at night. When we arrived at our next property on on the South Point of the island our son was so disappointed as the wildlife was lacking. Although funny story, when we arrived at the next house my husband unpacked the car trunk and pulled out my son's water booties. One of the booties felt abnormally heavy with a rock inside. Upon turning it upside down guess what fell out??? A giant frog!! This little guy survived a 4 hour journey in our our trunk and found a new home in Nal'haeu! Our son was thrilled. We hope to return to your property one day soon!
