A lovely home stay in the tropical part of the Big Island with just enough elevation for cool evenings and amazing views across the lush garden to the Pacific with Maui beyond. Great sunsets! Donna is an amazing host, full of friendly advice and very kind and considerate. The “open living room/kitchen” in the converted garage may not be to everyone’s taste but we loved it! Very comfortable and just hearing the wind in the ironwood trees and the palms in the evening was so restful. Hawi is very close and not too far to Waimea (spectacular drive to morning markets on Wednesday & Saturday). Car required but that’s standard for this island away from the resorts or Hilo. Highly recommended for a body and soul retreat!
