It was lovely to stay in a place that took you away from the main area of Kona and even on the drive there, allowed the chance to see a less touristy Hawaii. After negotiating the steep drive (we had a 2 wheel drive - which was okay if you went really slowly from the road to driveway but a 4wd would definitely prevent any catching of the bumper or underside on the ground) we were greeted with a little oasis.
The house is beautiful and well looked after, historical but not tired. The rooms are spacious with comfy beds and quiet (as long as the dogs next door behave)!
Michael greeted us with some delicious pineapple upside down cake and fruit platter set up for us on the veranda (or lanai) and we sat to soak up the view. Which needs to be soaked up.
We were so well looked after there, from suggestions of places to eat, snorkel and drive. There is so much to do but Michael and Greg have created a place where it's equally enjoyable to do nothing and relax at their place and let the delicious breakfast settle. The breakfast is worth a special mention, absolutely yum, with their home grown fruits, Michael's baked magic goods to name a few things.
