Great for our dog to stay and lots of room to run around. Not far from beaches which made it handy to take the boat. Awesome little set up!

We loved our stay at this Tiny Home. The hosts were fantastic, even leaving fresh bread, cookies and jams for us. The setting was tranquil and lovely and made a great spot to chill out and relax, especially with the jetted bath and fire pit. Would recommend!

Perfect stay
Great location and the tiny home was cozy and tidy and immaculately clean to stay in. Our hosts were so easy to deal with and very accommodating to our late night check in. We enjoyed hosts produce from their orchard, the succulent honey from their hives and on a touch of home cooked bread. The grounds are beautifully presented and private. The hot water pressure on the rainhead shower is awesome the water comes from the hosts private spring and was so good on my hair .

Creekside at Kuaotunu
Had an amazing stay at this tiny home in Kuaotunu, the rural property was very cute giving you a chance to stay off the grid on a rural little slice of paradice while still being fairly close to shops and beaches. The hosts Corina and Darren were amazing and we were greeted with fresh eggs , bread and milk etc upon arrival. Would definitely recommended but do bring your insect repellant as being a rural proterty and havi g a pond on the property you will need it

Wonderful stay. The level of thoughtfulness is through the roof. Showed up late to milk and cookies and eggs and toast for breakfast. Super cool to wake up to the chickens wanting their breakfast…which is also provided. Pro-tip - leave your big luggage in the car. 😉
