Cab was open to engage with us and was mindful to leave privacy as well. The room was comfortably situated below his main house and came with its own eco-shower and compost bathroom. He also welcomed to make ourself at home and use the indoor bathroom, kitchen, porch and library up the steps. We stayed for two nights and would have been delighted to stay longer.
Cab will hook you up with local tips, hospitality, and had a genuine desire to connect. He made us one of the best smoothies and egg dish for breakfast that we have had in our lives, fresh from his jungle garden. He is easy to talk to and is very knowledgeable about the entire island and a thoughtful, interesting human overall.
In the end, we re-booked our flight in order to stay in the island an extra two days— this was partly due to Cab’s encouragement and confession of extending his own trips several times before he lived on Ohau.
We hope to connect with him again, and likely will. He gives an experience not just a place to sleep.
