Zen House is in the rain forest and you will find it very peaceful as advertised. We enjoyed the 3 chickens who visited in the morning. It is helpful to know that within a 30 minute drive you may find several different climates. You can find warmer, drier air and sunny skies just 20 minutes away! Zen House is in a good location if you want to use it as a home base. Beaches, hikes and other activities are a short drive (30-40 minutes) away. The kitchen is well equipped and we were able to cook many of our meals here. We grabbed fresh fish and other essentials from local vendors and the Malama Market. The bed is comfortable and plenty of towels are provided. Mai was very quick to respond to all questions. Thank you!
