Everything about this place was a small miracle to ease the pain of clawing back from a pandemic induced depression. The enchanted single lane road winding down the hillside overhung with towering tropic plants was a perfect opening to the picturesque macadamia farm. Once inside the security gate, we passed by a cacti garden thriving under a tent and several farm vehicles. Once we reached the yurt, tucked in the back of the property, we were greeted by mooing cows, chickens, and farm dogs. Our four year old was in hog heaven. I quickly noticed a huge variety of plant thriving around the yurt as well- a cacao plant, lime tree, coconut palm, monstera plants and more all growing between the macadamia nuts.
The yurt was well stocked with an attention to detail! We had five beach towels in addition to five large bath towels, individually wrapped soap and cleaning sponges, games including the Hawaiian traditional game of kōnane. Our thirteen year old holed up in the loft with a twin sized bed and he never wanted to come down. The best part was knowing how reduced our carbon footprint was since we could use fans and the cool night air to control the temperature, and compost our vegetable waste around the farm. We absolutely recommend this place to both families who want a Swiss Family Robinson feel or couples seeking a romantic get away. Also, the host is continually improving the property- she added a fence and gates while we were staying, and she plans to add a hot tub and other infrastructure down the road. We absolutely loved our host and our stay!! <3
