this was the centerpiece of our hawaii remote romantic getaway: all i wanted out of the trip was to kiss my husband under a private waterfall: mission accomplished! amazing nighttime starry skies, peacocks, chickens and horses wandering along the deck. i recommend arriving while keith is there, because he is so enthusiastically passionate about the grounds and clearly loves to show guests how to enjoy and make the most of their visit. he was out fishing when we arrived, so we missed out on his guidance the first day. the house is as gorgeous as pictured, with amazing luminous depth of grain woodwork and views of the ocean. unfortunately, the smaller shack is directly in the sightline of the main house. however, we never heard or saw the other guests. the waterfall sound at night was drowned out by a compressor/ generator. the waterfall is directly next to the small cabin, with rope hand guides for support down the steep muddy trail. explore a little higher, and find the overhang for the 40' jump drop to that pool; a bit higher for another waterfall with a rope across it, and a little higher for the private waterfall where keith took us right before we left, which required wading across 2 pools. consider bringing water shoes instead of flip flops for the rocky walk. had we known about the giant nocturnal prawns he mentioned, we might have tried a night dinner-catching adventure, so we'll have to come back. we had a debacle with the horses, so i have to advise caution in planning to ride unless you are more than a little experienced. keith said roxy was strong-willed, but not to worry and was very reassuring and a great guide getting us started. roxy started off lovely, then not long after keith left, stubbornly progressively tested me in ways that eventually felt like real danger, and i knew it was over once she felt my fear. my husband and i switched horses. she ran off with him and it was a constant fight and wild runs, which repeatedly spooked the other horse i was on, shy (named because she hates the bit), who tends to follow roxy. they clearly didn't want to be ridden (it was hot and buggy) and we just gave up after an hour not even having gotten very far on paved road, $150 worse for the wear. keith's warm insistence that we explore the waterfalls salvaged the day as he guided us to places we would not have found, then left us to enjoy. he's a wonderful guide. things to be warned about: as other reviews have said, don't underestimate the adventure driving to get there. know that you'll have to fiddle with the shower. there are red flashing lights on the showerhead to warn you of a hot surge. cel phone reception was nil for t-mobile/att. the wifi was very weak and spotty, and i hope he'll add a boost.
