You definitely want to stay at Foster’s Ohia Hale. A soulful retreat in the cloud forest, a 15 minutes drive from Kona. Not a curated Hawaiian resort type experience, which we very much appreciated. The house is at the bottom of a winding road on 6 forested acres, you will be surrounded by nature. So peaceful and private. Lovely touches throughout the home, unique artwork, books, music, and all the accoutrements for days spent at the beach. A great home base for exploring the island. It was hot and humid the week we were there. it was so nice to return each day to the cooler mountain temps. I will miss the coffee views from the patio table and the symphony of frogs and birds. Our kids loved it and were excited to return each day after exploring. It was a real treat to stay here and we’re grateful to our hosts for sharing this special place. We will definitely return.
