The octagon was a magical experience. Ana and Shark are gracious and thoughtful hosts who will respect your privacy while making you feel totally cared for. Ana thinks of everything- she even packed us a beach bag with snacks!!
The farm is in a beautiful and convenient location, only 10 minutes from Hilo. If you are not okay with a little mud and a few mosquitoes, this is not the place for you! This is a working farm, which is part of what makes this such an amazing place to stay. The kitchen is perfect for preparing small meals and the bathroom is very private. The structure has 3 sets of French doors, two are left open and screened, allowing the sounds and scents of the jungle to come inside. Listening to the rainfall from bed was heavenly. If you have any curiosity about coffee, chocolate or vanilla, Shark is an enthusiastic teacher.
We had a wonderful time there and are already telling our friends and family to plan a trip!
