We loved staying here in this off-the-beaten-path house. We did not get to meet Mathew, but Ray was there to help us and show us around. The room is just perfect and the bed so comfy. The bathrooms and kitchen are shared with the other private room in the house and the outside cabanas and were well equipped and clean. The house is very much alive with good conversation and rainforest sounds, which we very much enjoyed, but earplugs are provided should you need some quiet time.
The location is close to Akaka falls and it's only a small drive to the main highway, so it's easy to explore the rest of the island.
