If you are looking for a beautiful Hawaiian home, away from the crowds/resorts of Kona, this is the place for you!
The property is beautiful and better than we could have imagined, even with all of the rain we received during our stay. Lush tropical plants can be admired all over the property, from the porch, either shower or the Ohana.
The home itself has a studio-like set-up, with a small divider between the bed and living room/kitchen. The Ohana could be compared to glamping - all the sounds and outdoor beauty of camping but you get to sleep in a comfy bed on a screened-in porch. Do note, you will hear many sounds from the surrounding gardens. If you enjoy the sounds of frogs, birds, and rain, then you’ll love this spot. But if you’re easily woken by sound, the Ohana may not be for you.
As we had much rain during our stay, we were unable to take advantage of the outdoor shower. However, the indoor shower offers gorgeous views of the garden below through the shower window, which is private in the sense that it overlooks the backyard and not the road.
We loved the food ‘goodies’ provided to us. The avocado was promptly made into guacamole, the Hawaiian pumpkin was roasted with oil, salt and pepper until tender and sweet and the fresh ginger root was chopped, boiled and steeped into ginger brew.
On one rainy more, we took a yoga class at the studio 1.5 miles down the street - FANTASTIC! We wish we could have stayed longer to try out more classes!
Thanks for a great stay!
