If you are looking to be at one with nature and enjoy the simple aspects of life, this is the place for you! It was beautiful and quiet the only sounds we heard on our 6 day stay were the birds and rain and in the far distance drumming once or twice. The guide book provided gave great tips of places to eat shop and see, check it out, as well as volcano park- just awesome. We added in the margin to please make sure the sunscreen you use is reef safe especially for the tide pools/snorkelling.
Some was provided but we had ours and didn't realize our stuff from home was harmful to the coral - contains ingredients ending in "zone". Communication was great Marianna was on site and just lovely, we were so busy checking out all the things to do and see, we would have loved to have had more time to spend with her and learn about being off grid. We aren't squeamish and enjoyed the cute and colourful geckos in the cabin and the feral pigs in the woods, they run off as soon as they see or hear you so you have to be stealth to take photos! Everything you need is provided to cook but get water in town, there are some free places to fill up, ask around or pay a meagre 30 cents for a jug refill at the market grocery store in Pohoa. As stated bring your own towels bug spray flash light and bring an umbrella! It rained every evening but cleared up after breakfast so it never got in the way of enjoying our time. We had the pleasure of enjoying some fruit from the property and it was delicious! I would love to return! Mahola for a great vacation!
