Anyone looking for a less conventional experience will be pleased with this spot, and I would especially recommend it to birders. Waking up that first morning was like rising in the primordial forest amid a chorus of birdsong (earplugs recommended and provided for light sleepers). Just walking out on the the lanai, I was treated upwards of 10 species I'd never seen before, almost all of them identifiable without binoculars (they are that close). A daily highlight was a flitting pair of red-billed leiothrix that seem to reside in the neighborhood.
The location is good in terms of accessing the surrounding area, and there are nearby restaurants and stores, though driving is still a must. Jennifer gave us some excellent recommendations on beaches and places to visit that we might have otherwise missed such as a nice, uncrowded black sand beach not far to the south.
We loved the yurt too. It's a large and comfortable space. If we ever go back to the big island we will definitely stay at the nut farm (assuming it's available!).
