VIEW! VIEW! and oh my! THE VIEW! beautiful Waipo Valley with Maui in the backdrop and orchard close to your eyes is a feast to the eyes and the stomach. The freshest of air and the most amazing view possible without moving from your bed. We were spoilt as Paula had a bowl of fresh fruits plucked and ready for us and her hospitality and greeting were so genuinely nice. The Orchard is just breathtaking and the night is surrounded by the sounds of Coqui (frogs) and dawn time there is a clear silence of Coqui and chirping of really melodious birds.
Few things to keep in mind: I am a light traveler so after beach and hiking our clothes were dirty and there is no laundry available for guests. Honokaa town works at its own pace and most things close early if they do open at all. So pack food and snacks and clothes accordingly. We experienced electricity outage on the day of check out and highly recommend (especially if traveling with kids like I did) to carry cold foods to eat. Hot tubs jets don't work but the water is warm and good view to soak in.
Don't forget mosquito repellents. Honokaa is notorious for it.
Mahalo!
