Stayed here in March 2015 with my family (my wife and two kids, 6y and 4y old). While the weather was a bit of a drawback, we very much enjoyed staying in the Yellow Coffee Cottage. Pro: * Stephanie, the owner who lives in the main house, was very nice and helpful. * Our kids enjoyed the opportunity to play in the garden around the four cottages and the main house. * The photos on the website pretty much show how the cottage really looks. However, in reality, the cottage is even more solid than was my impression from the website. * The cottage has all amenities you need (except, maybe, washing machine and dryer). The bathroom is very nice. Even though, there is not very much space, it is sufficient for a family with two kids. The kitchenette offers the possiblity to prepare smaller (warm) meals. There is no stove, but only two boiling plates (enough for "spaghetti bolognese", but it's a bit difficult to become the next Bocuse). * The cottage is far from the touristic crowd at higher altitude. Therefore, it's calm (you hear raindrops and wildlife), except maybe for the neighbours (you were flexible with the noise produced by our kids). When it is hot and humid in Kailua Kona, it is rather fresh here. Neutral: * Kitchenette is rather small (see above). * Insects: remember, you are in the open nature. Therefore, you cannot avoid insects. However, there are almost no moscitos (at least, we did not realize). The spiders usually hang loose in there nets outside. But it's difficult to avoid the ants. So, you better keep all your food closed in adequate containers. * The cottage has a second level with a queen size mattrass. The gallery can be accessed by a steep ladder. If you are on the gallery, the hatch cannot be closed. This is dangerous for little kids - Stephanie has explicitly advised us so. Thus, the gallery was prohibited for our kids (I slept there very well). * There was a little confusion (caused by myself) about a legal document Stephanie has asked us to sign before check-in. It was a waiver of liability. Stephanie asked to sign this against the background that in the past someone fell from the ladder (see above). The document basically says that guests are using the cottage at their own risk. As this was fine for us, we have signed the waiver. * From the website, we had the impression that the cottage is right within a coffee plantation. So, we had hoped for freshly harvested, roasted and brewed coffee in the morning (just joking). In reality, the cottage is located in the Kona coffee belt, but not exactly on a plantation. Contra: * Maybe the only (little) disadvantage: The surroundings of the cottages and the main house have lots of corners where building and other material and some scrap is stored. A heaven for curious kids, a nightmare for the parents. Overall,...
