We were most warmly welcomed, and found both host and caretaker to be extremely helpful to us at all times. The rustic lava stairs are a challenge, but we mastered them. (Our hosts were at the ready to carry suitcases, which was essential.). The Treehouse Temple is very Swiss Family Robinson. An extraordinary perch.

As we left we learned that this setting hosts interns from WOOF:. World Organization of Organic Farmers. They come from all over the world to learn organic gardening above the beach considered to be the international surfing capitol. Pretty rare.
