We had a short, but lovely, stay at Hap and Mely's house in Kapaau. Before this last trip, Waimea was the farthest north we had been on the Big Island. This time, we decided to explore the North Kohala area—we definitely didn't plan enough time here (but that's another conversation). The Plantation House was the ideal getaway for us. We loved the vintage-era Hawaiian vibe of the house itself, which was super clean and comfortable. The property is lovely and Mely shared some of her fruit with us and we brought a huge bag of lychee with us when we left! Their property is nothing less than gorgeous and we were lucky enough to find time to walk up the hill to their part of the property and visit with the animals and see their beautiful landscaping. We would most definitely stay here again and hope to be back one day soon.
