We were made feel very welcome from the moment we arrived for our 10 day stay - even though it was very late at night with flight delays. Kate's banana bread was divine and we certainly never came across better on our Hawaiian trip! A high bar was definitely set.
The flat is perfectly described & we loved it. It's is close to town by car but far enough away to only have sounds of nature at night. The garden is amazing with lush leaves and tropical fruit trees. The avocado tree was a particular hit! It was a real treat to wander the gardens and discover what could be found and eaten!
We travelled to Kona for Ironman & spent a lot of time at the flat so cooked most meals from home pre race week and watched the amazing sunsets on offer over the sea horizon from the patio area. The flat has everything you could need to be self sufficient and being able to launder clothes was very helpful for a long trip.
Kate and Neil were kind and generous hosts with some great advice & info on the big island and also for our onward travels which proved to be very beneficial. They also showed a genuine interest in us and were keen supporters of David competing in Ironman.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful home to stay in whilst visiting Kailua Kona.
Many thanks to our hosts for great Hawaiian experience.
Jemma & David
