We have a resident yoga teacher that hosts yoga classes for guests daily at 8 am for $12. Our teak Meditation Pavilion was made in Bali and is, to us, a very holy and special place for prayer and reflection.

Due to the recent volcano eruption in 2018, we mandatorily had to leave our property on May 6th, 2018. Our property was left vacant and closed for over 6 months. Our normal response rate before the eruption to was close to 100%. During the eruption period when we were closed, we did not know of any inquiries and did not respond, thus the low rating. We expect that we will be back to an excellent response rating very soon. Our location and views are pristine. Mango Road is a sacred authentic well preserved landmark to the ancient Hawaiians and so beautiful. Renting your own car is highly recommended as we are pretty secluded All of our cabins (unlike a hotel) are open to the elements. They are screened in to protect from pesky mosquitoes and bugs, however the Hawaiian jungle is full of geckos and screens don’t keep them out. They are harmless and just enjoy being around humans, and especially love eating sweet treats if you leave any food out. Please be aware that you may see a few during your stay, but there won’t be a large number of geckos. In case of gecko droppings we do put a painting drop cloth over the bed to maintain cleanliness of bedding and towels until your arrival. These are removed to be washed on a regular basis. This is typically placed under the bed during your stay, in case you choose to cover the bed while you are out during the day.
