It met our needs for a safe inexpensive place to camp. It was also nice to have access to fresh clean drinking water and a restroom. I think with a little more effort the host could have made it a more positive experience. We lost cell service about 5 minutes away from our destination and Google got us to the location but it looked sketchy with a large fence and dogs. I couldn't contact the host to verify we were in the right location nor could I access hipcamp. We yelled thru the fence to get someone's attention. The campsite was just inside the fence near the house and large barn. There was a platform that our 6 person tent just barely fit on. The ground was not level, the grass had not been mowed and there was dog poop so we set up on the platform. There are no services nearby so bring whatever you need such as food and toilet paper as that is not provided. The bathroom/shower is shared with their hired hands. Since we had young kids we always took them to the bathroom because there were a number of hazards in the area. We left to go to the beach for dinner and came back shortly after dark to find a huge lock on the gate but no way to contact host other than yelling thru the gate again. It was cold at night so bring adequate gear. The bugs/frogs were loud and plentiful as we were going to sleep and then the roosters starting their routine very early in the morning. On a clear night the view of the stars was amazing! Knowing we would not have service and how to check in

Great location! This was the perfect location to stay while exploring the southern part of the island. Our daughter loved all the farm animals. It was so interesting to learn about this working farm from the hosts. Great times!

Andrea and Matt were fantastic hosts. With a great secluded spot if you love sounds of the rainforest and beautiful people I’d recommend this stay! They have the most beautiful farm and with access to fruit and great tea. They are perfectly situated to access both sides of the island and we enjoyed day trips to kona and Hilo as well as all the beaches on each side. The closest beach to the farm was the famous black sand beach and we managed to spot turtles every time we visited this beautiful beach. Would really recommend this stay and would love to come again!

I couldn't even find the place so I never stayed there. Location provided over Google maps isn't correct, the host left no additional directions and lack of Internet signal in the area made it impossible to find the correct location. I was driving around for an hour and even talked to people living in the area but nobody knew how to help me. In the end my husband and I had to find another last minute accommodation for the night. I would have loved to have additional instructions on how to find the correct property, a sign pointing to the driveway could have also helped.
