We came from the busy suburbs of Oahu, Hawaii, in search of a quiet, peaceful retreat and found exactly what we wished for in Hunua Hilltop Haven... yes, sometimes even we get tired of swaying palm trees and tropical beaches lol. Anywhoo Hunua Hilltop Haven is definitely a hidden gem tucked away amongst the rolling green fields of Hunua. We were in awe from the moment we arrived, admiring the naturally designed garden beds full of fruit trees and native fauna, and wide curved wooden steps that compliment the landscaping and ascend to the homes signature red door... we just stood out front and said "wow" lol.
Tanya is a personable Host and always communicated with us promptly and simply made us feel welcome. HHH is exclusively for couples or 2 guests so my mother and I easily Booked a 2 week stay while visiting friends and family, and our only complaint was that we couldn't stay longer. We especially love to cook and really appreciated the spacious, well equipped kitchen, modern appliances, and a walk-in scullery/pantry. I'm a bit of a neat freak lol so spacious, organized and very clean spaces just make my vacay! lol
The chill country air was so refreshing at dawn or dusk and there's a great view of the sunrise on clear days. We never felt cold indoors because of a wood burning pot belly stove or when we wanted to warm up faster we just turned on the big elevated electric heat pump (heater) that warmed the space in no time. It was close to winter during our stay so I couldn't pass up a relaxing bubble bath in the deep soaking bathtub. If you don't have time to do this at home, then I highly recommend you treat yourself here in Hunua.
If you're outdoorsy like us then you will enjoy the nearby hiking trails, waterfall, markets, wine tasting and more... Tanya gave us some great places to check out in the area... we thought she was more helpful than Google. There's more but you'll just have to experience it for yourself. Mahalo Tanya and a hui hou 🌸
