Peter was a fantastic host. So kind, patient (when we missed him in the dark!), so helpful. He supplied us with gorgeous ripe papayas from the property every morning for breakfast to which we added coffee from the local farmers' market. We were there on our honeymoon and it was the best holiday I've ever had.

The place is very special. It's pretty secluded and very quiet at night, but easy to get to Kailua-Kona. The place itself is sweet with everything you'd need for a short stay (we were there for 2 weeks), unless you're desperate to do some involved cooking. There is an uncovered lanai that looks out to sea and one under cover if you need to get away from the sun. There's no a/c, but the netting windows mean it stays fairly cool (there's a fan too, which was nice). If you're not too steady on your feet, the walk up from the garage can be a little steep, but I have MS and I was ok. Remember a torch though - it's so dark at night!

The location is just down the road from Manini beach, across the bay from the Captain Cook monument. It's also a short drive from Two-step (best snorkelling on the island - dolphins!), Honaunau and the place of refuge, and plenty of other places.

There's a lot to say, but basically it was a perfect holiday. You won't regret booking here!
