We spent five nights at the lovely Plumeria Cottage which we thoroughly enjoyed. Sandy, Bruce and Noah were fantastic hosts and the accommodation was to the highest standard with everything you could possibly need throughout your stay... I was surprised at Sandys attention to detail and thoughtfulness of putting everything you may need right where you may need it... right down to individual torches in our bedside cabinets (which our toddler happily discovered one morning). The location was a refreshing change from the usual busy tourist areas and we found Captain Cook to have a relaxed local feel. It was also close by (5 - 10 minutes drive) to many amenities - supermarket, restaurants, walks, beaches and cultural activities, and close enough to travel further afield (1.5hrs drive) to Mauna Kea, the beautiful beaches of South Kohala Coast and Punalu'u beach with its back sand beach and turtles. We had such a special holiday on Hawaii's Big Island, which was that much more memorable because of our time at Plumeria Cottage.
