The lodge and your hosts Kutira and Raphael are truly visionaries - K is an intelligent & kind human who is always willing to share her 30+ years of knowledge with anybody who asks. If you are interested in starting your own business, picking Kutira's brain and even just observing her get things done will be super helpful. Comfy lodgings & communal space, a great selection of other volunteers to learn from too. The land is stunning too. Kutira helped me heal in ways I didn't even know I needed, and I am now feeling stronger and healthier after my stay. Mahalo <3

I had an amazing experience while my stay here. I was not sure what to expect because it was first time volunteering. I was warmly welcomed by Kutira and others. Firstly, this place is a wonderland in itself. I made some new cool friends & had my best times learning from the team, hiking down to the ocean and waterfall, watching sunrise, stargazing. I had an opportunity to work closely with Kutira and learn alot from her. She was always supportive and respectful. Overall, never had a sad day here as surrounding was always cheerful. Made a new family away from home. Mahalo the lodge🙏🏻

Hosting Suman at our place was a pleasure. His smile is edged into all our hearts. We truly appreciated Suman's expertise and sharing his gifts with the entire community. Suman also learned a lot besides his official trade. He took care of our 27 chickens, became the new favorite person of our Tibetan Spaniel Dawa, and cooked for the community his favorite Nepali food. We would be happy to welcome Suman back anytime.
We wish him all the best on his life journey. We would have rated Suman with a 5* plus, but we missed the short window of being able to do so. We hope this review will share with anybody how much Suman was appreciated. He is always welcome to return to the Maui Eco Retreat and learn more from the Kahua Institute.

I stayed at the lodge for almost 4 months. I came here with an open mind to learn about gardening. However, I entered a community of loving people and made great new friends. I learned about regenerative living that opened me to so many other possibiites how to live life. I feel so blessed and I am going back with a new set of glasses, that let me see how life can be lived fully when its from love and authenticy. To have this experience in my life this time was simply transformational. I can recommend this to anybody who loves nature. With deep respect, gratitude and love to all.
