We stayed at Kate's and Neil's stunning place for four nights and were truly sad when we had to leave this morning to catch our flight to Maui! Kate and Neil live in one of the most beautiful places on earth, the view is breath-taking and so is their garden (it seems as if they grow every fruit possible), their house, and above all the apartment we stayed at. Everything was brand new, spotless and you can really feel (and see) all the love, attention to detail and work Kate and Neil put in to make us feel at home! The pictures on their site are already great but being there they do not match the beauty of their place (their house is on top of a hill surrounded by lush forrest in a very pretty, safe and quiet neighbourhood but still close to Kona). The perfection of the place was even topped by Kate's and Neil's personalities. They are wonderful, warm-hearted people who made us feel at home from the very first second (to be honest, we actually felt like staying with friends rather than being just guests). Kate even baked an amazing banana bread for us (using home-grown bananas, of course:-)), they also invited us to a welcome drink and to share the sunset together. Both are extremely interesting, open-minded people, always with a smile, who have travelled a lot themselves and thus know exactly what traveller's wish for. We felt truly blessed to be their first guests and can only highly recommend their place to anyone who is looking for an OUTSTANDING experience. Kate and Neil, thanks so so much for all the great tips, enriching conversations, your helpful attitude (even calling the Diving Company for us), your smile and great sense of humour! You really spoilt us!
To sum up five stars do not seem enough to evaluate the unforgettable time we had at your place! If only we could have stayed longer... We hope to be back soon!
