We enjoyed the easy access to Wai'pio lookout and shuttle bus (both 10 mins walk), with the tranquil orchard retreat and cosy kitchen for the evenings. The hammock and outdoor soaking tub on the lanai have fab views, and the grill and beach gear were handy. Peekaboo view of the cliffs fm the second bedroom. The orchard is amazing and smells wonderful. While we were there starfruit and tangelos were bursting off the trees. (Ask about Miracle Berry!) Caretaker Daniel is beyond kind and friendly, & the dogs Lucy and Zoey are adorable. Mahalo, Dan!
As other reviewers have noted, one of the bedrooms is only accessible via the deck and can be musty due to rainy locale, and expect some small bugs that come with forest location too. Some furniture updated and nicer than the listing, but remains eclectic. There are external websites and listings for Hale Kukui which is confusing, but Dan said Air BnB is the only current way to book. **Note that 17% tax is charged separate upon check in!!**
