We spent a really great time at Gary’s and Marianne’s place. We liked it so much that we spontaneously stopped for another night after coming back from Hana. The room we slept in was very clean, cozy and well decorated. They call it the sunshine – seashell room! We had our own bathroom ( as we were the only guests at this time) and could use their kitchen (including the whole equipment).
Marianne and Gary have been lovely hosts sharing a lot of island insights and information with us. They also gave good tips for sightseeing and shopping. Paia (close to their house) offers nice shopping possibilities and the best store – the Mana Store - for groceries we found on our trip (Kauai, Maui, Big Island). There are also a few restaurants and bars – we can really recommend The Café des Amies.

We would definitely stay there again.
