This is a wonderful place set up into the hills and a short walk/ drive from mountain thunder coffee plantation which is worth a visit. We stayed here as in KONA for the Ironman world championships and it was perfect as set out of the hassle of town but only 15/20 minutes to the pier for race day. Kathryn was a fabulous host and we enjoyed the pineapples she picked from her garden whilst we were there.
It’s true what they say about KONA having so many climates, it rains a lot in the hills but by the time we drove down to the beaches it was sunny. You’ll need a car for this location but once you have one you have the island and so many beaches to explore within a fairly short drive from the house
