What a place! We were excited to get there and the location is about a thirty minute drive from the airport on the Hana Highway.
We were able to spend a lot of time in Paia and Haiku and were just a couple miles from Twin Falls on the Road to Hana and were only two hours from Hana.
We read reviews about geckos and nature being in the way from other reviewers and we didn’t see the problem. Kutira and everyone is very clear about their views on conservation and nature.
There are geckos in the room. They chirp about three times a night. They sound like little birds. There’s no AC, but it’s so windy and there are two screen doors and screened windows that let in so much breeze. There’s also a fan if you need extra help.
We ended up spending every other day at the Bamboo Temple just listening to the ocean and the breeze and reading. Then we’d go into Paia for dinner.
The stars here are amazing because there’s no light pollution. We would lay on the lounges for about an hour every night in the breeze and look at the stars (even some shooting stars!) we had no issues with mosquitoes since they place is so breezy.
There was a great cat, Minu. She would greet us in the morning for scratches and to lay in the sun on the patio. Kutira also has the sweetest dogs.
