This was a great spot to spend a week relaxing and enjoying a special part of the big island. Waipio Valley is a sacred and beautiful place, just ten minutes out of Honokaa. The cottage sits above an orchard and faces the ocean. There's plenty of privacy. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai having morning coffee, and one night I soaked in the hot tub under a moonlit sky. My husband ran the mile down into the valley and beach and back, while I walked it - slowly! (it's steep but worth it). Paula was a gracious host. She welcomed us and let us know she was available, but everything we needed was at hand so we just made ourselves at home. In Honokaa, we enjoyed lunch at Grandma's Kitchen and dinner at the Italian place. The lilikoi fudge at the fudge shop is so good. Picking fruit right off the trees in the orchard is best of all.
