If you’re looking for a rustic, off the grid experience far from the world then look no further! This place is indescribably beautiful, you have to see it for yourself. If you aren’t used to camping or driving off-road (Rent a Jeep and FOLLOW THEIR DIRECTIONS LIKE THEY TELL YOU!) and living in the boonies, maybe check out a nice hotel...
Ashley was a great hostess, helped us with a bonfire and anything we needed. The waterfall lulls you to sleep every night right outside of the bedroom, although the coqui frogs can be a bit deafening (just like everywhere else on the Big Island). The awesome Madagascar geckos will come visit you at mealtime (especially if you have something sweet to eat), and at the end of the day you can shower off in one of the best outdoor showers I’ve ever used. If you’re feeling real outdoorsy head down the hiking trail to shower off in the waterfall and grab some of the shampoo ginger that grows on the trail to wash your hair au natural.
The only drawback is the mosquitoes and no-see-ums... there is bug spray and coils to light, but you may want to bring some of your own... mosquito net on the bed works great, but you will get bites while relaxing on the porch in the evening... Still worth it!
There are too many amazing things to touch on in a short review, you have to see this place for yourself. Amazing value as well.
