We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house!!!
We stayed a week at Akiko’s and would have liked to stay much longer. The historical house is bright, spacious and breathes the old Hawaii!! It has beautiful personal touches and lots of inspirational books and board games. It is surrounded by a beautiful garden and lush rainforest which you can enjoy from the many windows all around the house. It is located near lots of great waterfalls and on the beautiful Hamakua coast. And still only a short drive to Hilo.
The house, which was great, is just one part of our wonderful stay. Akiko is a great host with such a loving, compassionate and joyful presence. She had great local tips for us. She showed our kids around her lush tropical rainforest garden where they learned about the local fruits and plants, which they loved to learn! And we met some beautiful people who live in this area.
There is a beautiful Japanese temple of gratitude on the premises. Meditation is possible five days a week if you’d like to join the other residents. And twice a week a yoga class is available. This were great ways to connect with ourselves and other people.
The whole premise has been built with so much love and care. We felt the true Aloha spirit here and we left this place with a heart filled with love and joy!
We highly recommend a stay at Akiko’s!!!
