We thoroughly enjoyed our 9-day stay with Zach and Iris. The cottage was as described, clean, simple, with an outdoor kitchen and huge outdoor shower. The cottage has lovely views of the ocean and even better views of the amazing orchard, garden and wide variety of flowering plants. The arboretum-like setting may have been the best part of the ambiance - there is no need to visit commercial gardens!

Zach gave us an extensive personal tour of the farm; his natural farming methods were eye-opening and fascinating (assuming you're into that sort of thing, as we are).

The kitchen is stocked with very basic utensils, cookery, and kitchenware, but there was nothing else that we needed - another eye-opener at how simply you can live.
The welcome basket of lemons, bananas, and papaya - along with frequent gifts of coconut and other fruit from Zach as he went about his daily chores, were a further treat.

The only negative is that there are mosquitos, which are to be expected in a tropical setting. Thank goodness the bright and friendly geckos are there to help keep the population down.

Thank you so much for this restful stay.
