Hawaii Yurt luxury for less

Rooms are very clean. Atmosphere was great! Lisa was very patient and waited for us very late night for checkin.

Ocean was visible. Bathroom is in separate building. Walls are not animal hide but vinyl! Bring drinking water with you, what is available is rain catch with vinyl particles in.

Yurt was very clean, and well appointed with dishes, cups, silverware, coffee & sugar packets. At arrival, host showed us how to use the camping type toilet & separate incinerator toilet. Also gave us some suggestions on things to see in the area, and popular bakery 29 minutes away. Highly recommend if you’re staying in the area

It was a nice quiet place to stay while I was getting a few things done at my house. The parking was right next to the yurt. The bathroom and sink are in another building. There was a microwave and fridge. The coffee was good. It was windy and the outer window coverings were really loud, so bring earplugs just in case. It was nice to see the stars while laying in bed. I would stay again.

1st time at a yurt. The room was nice. The place was in a more secluded area, but not far from highway access. Being far out, there wasn't a sewer system in place, so the toilet system took us off guard. Overall, nice place and staff was great to work with.

During our short stay we were able to visit Volcanoes National Park, the Green Sand Beach close to South Point, go night snorkeling with Manta Rays in Kona, visit several beaches, and even drive up Mauna Kea on our last day in Big Island (night flight) - we could not have achieved this and more without staying in such a perfectly placed location, one with unique landscape on its doorstep (the local history of lava flows was truly fascinating). Lisa was a wonderful host who ensured we knew how to use the facilities, and I would definitely check in with her before your arrival to see what supplies are in your specific yurt (previous guests may have left gently used items or extra things behind - we left sunscreen and water bottles, for example).

It was our first time staying in a yurt. Slept well, Did hear some of the neighborhood dogs through the night. Centrally located to cover south end-of-the-island sites and attractions. Initially, a strong air freshener scent set off my wife’s allergies. We were able to take care of most of that issue shortly. Overall pleased with the value of our stay there.

If you wanna be away from the city, this place is for you, the yurts, was nice, clean, very comfortable, perfect for couples, the bed was soft an comfy, the bathroom was interesting. It's was colder in this part of the aisland with winds when we were there, but is part of the weather, we enjoyed our staying very much, will recommend the experience is great. Is like a luxurious camping. Host is nice.

Nice place.

located in subdivision off the main highway. No shops nearby. No bathroom or running water in yurt, had to walk to bathroom.

There's more than one yurt on the property. We stayed in the studio, in which the bathroom is attached. No going outdoors to use the funky facilities. We were very comfortable and found the hosts to be accommodating. Gas grill has a side burner if you feel like cooking instead of dining out. The town is called Ocean View. As pointed out previously, there is no ocean view from the property. Incredible view of stars at night.We found this to be a great value and would certainly book it again.

When booking I thought the yurt was such a great idea. This was such a cool stay, little off the beaten patch but worth the experience. Kai the host was great with check in and any information.

I wanted to give this a higher rating and no shade to the host but as an elderly couple we struggled. First please understand that the unit was as advertised. Clean and had plenty of towels with awesome views of the ocean. However please note that this unit is basically a wooden tent with no running water and no bathroom in the unit. It is outside the unit. I take full responsibility for not closely reading the description. We stayed during a large rainstorm as the Yurt shook, rattled and rolled. We did not feel comfortable at all and lost a lot of sleep. If you are a camper and love the outdoors this could be your jam. We however being in our 60s could not relax during the 3 days due to the storms. This is an excellent place for true glampers, we are not them.

Friendly and accommodating host even when we arrived super late. The Yurt was also so nice, the photos don’t do it justice, was super clean and a comfy bed. Great stay and affordable price. Would stay again.

Great central location for exploring the island. The property was as advertised. Very helpful owners the were prompt with getting back to you.

This spot was awesome! The neighborhood didn’t have a great reputation with the locals but we honestly had no problems at all staying on this part of the island. The hosts were wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed and even offered lots of really great recommendations for things to do while we were there. There isn’t a lot in the way of shops nearby, but they do have the essentials– a quick mart, gas, and even a pizza place. Very quiet and the stars at night are unmatched. The yurt has a dome top in the middle so you get a little glimpse out into the sky when you’re in bed. Definitely the best spot to do some glamping, would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a quiet place. Only downsides were that the yurt is, you know, a yurt so it’s not soundproof. You can definitely hear every noise in the area and you will be heard… my husband could hear the sound from my phone (on low volume) when he would be walking outside. It’s also about 1.5 hours drive away from the two big cities so keep that in mind with your trip planning.

Great location for checking out both green and black sand beaches! Owner was super friendly and insightful!

This is our second time staying here. The yurts are lovely, comfortable and well equipped. The central skylight shows dazzling stars at night. Communication with Lisa is excellent and speedy and helpful. Love love love the view of South point from up where the weather is delightfully cool, but not cold. We hope to go back again if we can! Thanks!

Clean place

We enjoyed the property and our stay, close to the things we wanted to do. I would of liked a luggage rack to put suitcases on, but location was great for our trip to the big island! Would stay there again! First time in a yurt, and didn't mind the toilet was a different experience! Thank you!!

We had a wonderful stay in our Yurt on the hill. It's way up the hill off the highway but quite serene and spectacular views and lush landscaping make the paradise worth the travel. Who knew the southern west most part of the USA had the best malasada bakery, one of 3 green sand beaches in the world and great restaurants in town?!? Kai and Lisa were great hosts and everything was easy and well appointment. Kai helped check in and texted tips when we forgot his suggestions lol. Amazing time! Fun experience all around.

Our stay at the yurt was the best experience we could have hoped for. Lisa and Kai are wonderful hosts, very helpful, responsive and accommodating. The place had breathtaking views at sunrise, and in the night you can see the moon and stars from inside the yurt. Just about everything is provided if you plan on cooking/grilling. I'd 10/10 stay here again or recommend to a friend!

We enjoyed our experience staying in the yurt! We had wanted to do this for a while, and when the opportunity presented itself, we jumped! The yurt was a great size for two people. It had a refrigerator and a microwave, and also a grill outside. There is electricity, but a different system of plumbing. There is water for showering, washing hands, and washing dishes, but there are two toilets, one for pee and an incinerator one for poo (I found this fascinating!). The neighborhood is on the slope of the mountain, so it does get a little chilly at night... it was in the low 50s both nights we were there, so bring appropriate clothing. There is a little heater available, too.

Very quiet location the host was very flexible and responsive. There is no kitchen but bbq has a burner on the side. And the yurt came with all the pots and pans you would need. The yurt it self if very spacious the sky light offers great star gazing from your bed and nice natural light in the day. It is not to far of a drive from amazing attraction like black sand beach and volcano national park. I especially loved the dogs and the cats roaming the property. Wonderful glamping 10/10

A WONDERFUL host in a terrific location. Just as stated, neat,clean and helpfull with any questions I had.Looking forward to staying again.

Great location for an off-the-grid R&R vacation (with TV, Internet, etc.). Simple amenities in close-by town were good and Kai Lokis was tremendous - food and atmosphere. Wonderful sunsets, sunrises and night sky viewing of stars.

We had a great time staying in ocean view. Lisa and Kai were great hosts, very informative and quick to respond to messages. We had no issues with anything!
