We really enjoyed or stay at Rev. Les’s place. We came to Hawaii for the Ironman 70.3, and while we had a bit of a drive to Kona from Hawi, it was quite convenient as we got accustomed to the bike course. Hawi itself was a fun small town, and we wish we had more time to explore there. It is also a short drive (with some tasty farm stands on the way) to Polou Valley, which is a hike to a beautiful black sand beach.
The farmhouse itself was much nicer than we had anticipated. It is quite large, two bedrooms (one of which is very large) and a sizeable living area and kitchen. Rev. Les even had farm fresh eggs and a papaya waiting for us at check in! The farm is beautiful and quiet and we enjoyed eating breakfast under the lanai and waking up to birds chirping.
Before the trip and throughout our stay Rev Les was very accessible. We reached out to him in light of the volcano, and he was quickly able to alleviate our concerns.
Overall this was a great stay and we would highly recommend booking with Rev Les.
