Beautiful and welcoming queer retreat with top-notch facilities and an amazing garden. The Garden Oasis room is a gorgeous screened-in terrace, the perfect place to dream with the vibrant sounds and scents of the rainforest all around you. Two inner guestrooms are also available if you prefer a dryer and quieter experience. We enjoyed socializing with the friendly host and other guests in the shared areas, and heard great things about the weekly gay BBQ event on Mondays.

it was a secluded paradise. Great little home stay. Matt and Houston could not do enough for us. Matt was willing to accompany us to the neighbouring town and recommended some great places to eat: As a result of a social event held at the property, we made some incredible friends. The black sand beach is 5 minutes walk away and Matt provides all the equipment (towels etc) you need at no extra cost. The kitchen access was handy due to the remote location. The gardens are well tended to. the clothing optional really is just that. there is no pressure either way.

There was nothing we didn’t like…but be aware that the village has zero facilities so you must have a car as the nearest store is a 30 minute drive. The other thing to be aware that this is in the outback as it were. You will be surrounded by nature and all her bugs and plants! as city dwellers, this was a true experience.

The accommodation was great. Loved the garden room with the sounds of nature. Accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the hot tub was a great relaxer at the end of a busy day. Accommodation was close to the volcanoe park and in a great, friendly community close to the beach. Travel was necessary to other parts of the island, which is a normal expectation when visiting Big Island.

This trip we did not take it vantage of the breakfast other guests did and said it was very delicious. Location was awesome we enjoyed taking a little walks also very accessible to the beach

The property is stunning, beautiful and curated in any detail. It’s located a bit off the beaten routes, which makes it perfect to explore the wilder part of the island while still being close to major attractions like the volcano national park. we’ve got the garden room, which is a gorgeous private space obtained from a side patio of the house. it’s fully covered and protected by nets from insects but at same time you get the feeling of sleeping in the beautiful tropical garden (including night birds and all kinda sounds!). Comfortable bed, great kitchen area and bathroom. Friendly host provided many useful recommendations on local attractions as well as a delicious homemade breakfast for a very reasonable fee.

A wonderful place with beautiful gardens and very welcoming host, like staying in paradise! Very good facilities, clean and well run, close to the black Sand Beach and near to many other points of interest.

A really beautiful place with gorgeous gardens. The owner was friendly, and had put together a list of local, queer-friendly events going on throughout the week! Having just the few, select rooms made for some great conversations with the other folks there (including the owner) and, coupled with the picturesque environment, made it feel like a stay at a high-end luxury property (despite being the same price as the basic hotels in the same region I'd looked at before). Very highly recommended! I'll be coming back!

As is very clear from the listing, the place is both LGBTQ+ focused and clothing optional. I happen to think those are both good things, but folks who are not into those should reread before reserving 🤷

A great stay in a unique property, with friendly owners. It was a great experience, truly unique. Everyone was super welcoming and showed us the local sights.

We should have been more prepared bringing more food with us. The markets in Pahoa aren't far but you are in a somewhat remote location and should prepare as such.

the property is in a quiet neighborhood close to a black sand beach, staff and friends are friendly, the house and yard are original, quirky, inviting and decorated with great taste. I loved the garden room for the feel of sleeping in a tropical forest but worth mentioning: there are noisy tree frogs in the garden. as I'm a light sleeper, Matt offered ear plugs :)

Very welcoming environment! We went out as a group for dinner and a dip in the hot spring one night and had a blast. The host is very knowledgeable of the area and gives great recommendations. The beach is a short walking distance and absolutely stunning! We also loved our room and falling asleep to the sounds of the chirping frogs. It felt like we were in the heart of the rainforest.
