We visited Hāwī for a wedding and stayed at Hap and Mely's rustic plantation cottage. On the night of our arrival, the entire town's power was shut off for some county maintenance work, but Hap and Mely rounded up a bunch of LED lights, welcomed us to the property, and made us feel right at home. Their sweet kitty, who lives at the house, kept us company as well. Hap and Mely were very attentive hosts who were highly communicative before, during, and after our stay, and Hap often dropped by to check in and offer driving directions and suggestions on events, dining, and the best coffee in town.
