The Maui Eco Retreat is a unique getaway at the end of a dirt road 3.5 miles away from Haiku center. The Bamboo Temple has a great view of the ocean, is very quiet and comfortable. It is a circular structure, very interesting bamboo architecture, with a shower outside. There are other structures on the property including a main house with rooms for rent, and owners and volunteers live on site. The bed was very comfortable. There are lots of geckos as this is Hawaii. They cackle at night so bring earplugs if that will wake you up. The kitchen has just enough to cook, stove & fridge, but there is nothing extra in the house- you have to rent beach towels for $3 a day, nothing else for the beach is provided, no cooler. Also the ad is misleading in that there is no wifi or cellphone available in the hut at all. You have to walk up a path to the main house to use it. Some people may want to be offline but this should be stated clearly. There are also some odors due to the compost bucket which can be fed to the chickens and washed out, and a little bit of mustiness in the hut also- best to keep windows open to circulate the air. Shower is outside. Use only the hot water faucet and you will have hot water. The bath towels smelled a bit sour even when clean- I think the soap being used is maybe weak. We used our own dish soap. If you need something you can go up to the main house to ask someone for it. We liked the location on the island- good for exploring either way. The hut itself is rustic so you need to be prepared for that. There are yoga and other classes offered for a small fee. Also there are two trails with amazing views but you need good footwear and to be prepared for a physical challenge. Both trails are steep and you need to use the ropes to rappel down some mountainsides. Very worth it for the waterfall and ocean experiences.
