We had an absolutely magical time staying here. While it's still someone's backyard, it felt very private and very immersed in nature. We weren't sure how well we'd sleep with all the frog and bird sounds the first night but it took almost no time to get used to it. I got some incredible sleep there!
Louisa wasn't there when we stayed, but Shannon who was watching the house was very hospitable. She's also a yoga instructor! We ended up hiring her for a private session while we were there and it was awesome.
The drive to the hut is incredibly beautiful and we didn't mind that it was a little off the beaten path. Especially since we could still walk to Kehena Beach (don't miss the Drum Circle crew there on Sundays!)
As far as accommodations, it is a little rustic, but that's part of the charm! We loved the lizards, but not the mosquitoes in the outdoor shower area.
We would absolutely stay here again if we ever make it back to the big island. It felt very authentic Hawaii.
