Lovely, peaceful, mesmerizing. I had a fantastic stay at Padma's and Robert's guest house. It looks so much nicer in real life than in pictures. Padma greeted me on arrival and gave me a quick tour of the property and conservation. This was my first experience staying at the off the grid house and it exceeded my expectations. All the thoughtful touches make you feel welcome and at home. The coffee station was fully stocked with a variety of teas and coffee pods.
I didn't have a phone reception (T-mobile) but was able to make/take calls via WiFi calling.
Ask Padma for some local tips, go for a walk on Old Government Road (formerly the Mojave trail) and find a hidden path to the Mermaid Ponds. Maybe you'll see a Pueo, the Hawaiian Owl endemic to Hawaii.
