We had a nice stay at the Orchard Cottage. We had splurged for this accommodation anticipating the view and were disappointed by the torrential rain storm which prevented our views and any exploration of the Waipi'o Valley. It also made for difficult sleeping with the heavy rains pounding on the roof during our 3 nights stay. But this is no fault to the property or owners, it was just bad luck with weather. Honoka'a is an hour drive from beaches on the West side, so we drove over each day in seek of sun. And we enjoyed spending time in Honoka'a, especially the Honoka'a People's Theater cafe. Paula and Dan, the managers on the property, were very kind and accommodating. On our our last morning, the sun came out and the view was indeed glorious. The house is less than a mile from the lookout and road down to the valley, so if you get good weather the place is ideal.
