We spent a week in Michael and Charlotte's place, and explored a lot of the area (Pololu Valley and Mahukona can't be missed). The town of Hawi is very quaint, but really shuts down around 4pm. I'm not sure if it was just a Covid phenomenon, but it seemed like most of the business cater to folks visiting Pololu and then take a break when those people aren't present in the evenings. Given the fact that we were spending most evenings back at the house, a spot with a Lanai and more cooking amenities would've suited us better.
