My mother and I visited Matt's place this past week for a week. The whole place was well stocked and we had everything we needed in the kitchen! (We only ate one meal out at Sundown Deli in Kaunakakai. For any gluten free folks out there - the owner was kind and skilled in accommodating my intolerance.) It was great to have a washer/dryer in the unit too.
If you are looking for a slower pace this is a great place! There are lots of places nearby to walk and run. The house itself was a perfect place to do yoga. We also spent a lot of time reading. There is comfy furniture inside and out for lounging!
When visiting you really need to have a rental car for the duration of your trip, so keep that in mind. There is no reason to get a 4x4 for visiting Paniolo Hale and many places on the island, any rental car will do the trick.
Everyone we encountered, locals and visitors, were very friendly. A visit to Matt's place at Paniolo Hale is highly recommended!
