We just returned from a wonderful two-week stay at this home. It was very comfortable for us--both because of the people and the place. Thomas, his daughter, Daniel, and the other folks staying there were interesting, personable, helpful and fun to get to know. There was a fine balance of quiet private time and social time. We had two delicious big, shared meals with singing, fine guitar, ukulele and mbira music played afterward (My brother-in-law and sister who live nearby were invited too!).

The location is perfect—as advertised, it is quiet, close to the beach, good hiking and is an easy drive for exploring the rest of the Island from there. We walked for coffee, groceries and out to dinner at a variety of places in the cool evening.

Our bedroom, the Olomana room, was lovely--bright and airy with a comfortable bed, cross ventilation from opening screened windows and a ceiling fan. There was a nice desk area, enough storage, a TV and private bath. It was a good retreat.

We found the common areas easy to use-- spacious and well equipped. In the kitchen, a half refrigerator, as well as our own food cupboard, dishes and utensils was provided for us. There is plenty of great, shared kitchen gear and a really good washer and dryer available.

My favorite space is the beautiful, private tropical garden with a covered table area and an open pool space, capped with a view of nearby mountains. We spent lots of time relaxing there, I drew and read, my husband played his guitar. The other people living and staying in the household were coming and going, so there was always some alone time each day.

Thank you Thomas, Lili and Daniel, see you again! Karen and Gary
