If you are hiking the muliwai trail or just looking for a fun and local experience, this is a great stay! It was clean and comfortable and the shared spaces allowed us to get to know a couple from Chicago staying next door. The outdoor kitchen is fun and it is so handy to have a full kitchen with all the cooking utensils for making meals and keeping costs down. Having a coffee maker is so nice in the mornings although there are only two mugs despite the plethora of other dishes. I saw no bugs inside the house area but the tree frogs sounded lovely at night. We stayed in the "kai" room and could hear the family overhead in the mornings and early evenings but not to the point of it waking us up or keeping us up. The clementines were in season while we were there as we're avocados so we ate really well. The check-out process was quick and easy. Highly recommend this place!
