What a great place for a family or other large gathering. The manor house is large enough to serve as a great gathering place for 20-30 people. The covered patio/table in back was great for all of us to dine together. The hot tub just past it allowed the kids to play and we could watch them while we visited.
Inside, the large open concept allowed those in the kitchen area to continue to visit with those in the 'living room.' And there was a separate game room with a nice table. They had a large cabinet with way more games than we could get through. This room would also serve as a semi-private meeting room if necessary or desired.
The four separate cottages were great for privacy either for couples, families or even for more private meetings. All were just a close walk from the manor but separate enough that we couldn't hear them.
There were great snorkeling beaches 30-45 minutes away. Downtown Kailua/Kona was less than 30 minutes away.
Being situated where it was, we enjoyed the 10-15 degree cooler temperatures than at the beach. One negative is that it is quite humid. It is a rain forest after all. But it was difficult to get towels and swim suits completely dry.
Star was a great host. She was very responsive via text and since she lives on site, if we had an issue, she solved it immediately.
Sorry this is so long. I usually just write a one sentence review, but this place is great.
