I couldn’t imagine a scenario that would’ve included a tent, an outdoor kitchen, a shower, lots of humidity, lots of rain and yet we still had a great, great time!
We loved the whole vibe - when you see the picture and think wow, that’s incredible - you’re right. It is. It’s a large tent under an even larger rain cover with lighting and a camp stove. It’s where Melissa and Scott lived when they first bought the land.
The place is literally in their backyard and had everything we wanted and nothing we didn’t: No TV, no laptops, no car sounds, no city noise. Just running water, electricity - and that’s it. There’s a living room, a kitchen, a shower and a little bathroom. Dis-connect. The sound of the stream running at the back of the property and birdsong in the morning were an added bonus.
Melissa and Scott were quick to respond and have everything from bikes to snorkels to beach chairs for you to use.. Great snorkeling just down the road.
It may not be for everyone, because not everyone wants to choose a low impact life - but we liked it. It was minutes away from everything including a general store that’s awesome. There’s a cool coffee shop a few minutes down the road...good local coffee...learn to surf at the fabled North Shore - it’s abt 25 minutes up the road. The scenery everywhere is pretty breath taking. Great hiking trails, an excellent sushi restaurant - it was really really great. Everything is so close you can do three or four things in a day and still get dinner and ice cream.
A car is a must. As is a flashlight or lantern (supplied)! It’s DARK!
Overall it was a great adventure...we absolutely loved it! It’s all the fun of a camp out but with none of the hardship, misery or danger. And hot showers!!!
