My wife and I spent a fews days of our honeymoon in one of the cottages at the orchard. It was clean and spacious, and the view from the Lani was breathtaking. The hosts were friendly and they had done a nice job making the cottage welcoming and well-stocked.

Something not much emphasized in the listing is how close the property is to the Waipio Valley; one of the most celebrated tourist attractions on the island - one can get from the cottage to the overlook in about 2 min. and down to the beach in about 15 min. (with a Jeep!) As the crow flies this is less than a mile away, but one has to drop 1000 vert. feet, so it's a rough passage.

Andy, the host of the listing is the owner, but you will have no contact with him, as he lives off island, the caretakers Paula and Dan (lucky dogs) are friendly and helpful.

The views from the deck ARE spectacular, but the first 3 images shown in the listing were NOT taken from the property so don't expect any beach views.

The 'jungle' sounds are awesome, and we made recordings of them on our cell phones the minute we arrived, but judging by the complimentary earplugs (very nice touch) there may be some who find tree frog and gecko mating calls to be a bit much when they emanate from only 10' feet above your bed.

The opportunity to stay on an orchard in the hinder lands of the big islands is both beautiful and unique and we were charmed by the experience. But this ain't the Sheraton; this property is isolated, and quiet, but far from shops, commerce, and restaurants. If there is a good rain on this side of the island during your stay, the waterfalls will be awesome, but expect to run the dehumidifier, or 'the damp' will find your every sock and towel.

Lisa and I had the good fortune to be at the orchard when there were no other guests in the other units, and this was very nice; plenty of parking, very private and we saw more chickens and geckos than people. If you like this sort of holiday, where isolation and nature trumps access to restaurants and fancy shops, this may be the right place for you.
