The ohana was lovely, quiet and full of books—the perfect getaway for rest, relaxation and reading. It was larger and cozier than the pictures suggest and I loved the attention to detail which made it feel welcoming. There was coffee and tea, fruit and a few treats also! Padma, her father and Robert were all kind and helpful. And while only next door, there was plenty of space and a nice lanai surrounded by lots of nature.
The four mile drive through the forest is magical and the small town of Pahoa a short twenty minute drive away. The pizza in town was surprisingly good, the vegan ice cream amazing. Tin Shack Bakery has an excellent selection of healthy desserts and Sirius Coffee is a lovely little place with delicious sweets. Oh, and Uncle Robert’s Night Market is a must—the avocado papaya salad, delish!
I would highly recommend this home and look forward to visiting Papaya Farms Rd. again in the future! Thank you all so much for a lovely stay! Until next time...
