The grounds at the Bamboo Temple are amazing and definitely the highlight of the retreat. The walk to the waterfall and the ocean trail are so beautiful and private. The Temple itself is a little rustic and does have some gecko friends, but still charming. Make sure you are comfortable with a more open concept bathroom, not just shower, but bathroom sounds as well... It does get dark around 7:30pm and the dirt road up the the house gets dark so not ideal if you want to stay out very late. The neighboring towns are great and it makes a really great base for exploring the road to Hana and the north side of the Island. Would definitely recommend for someone looking to connect with nature and enjoy the perfect scenery. We would return for sure.
