T's "off-grid" farm was a dream come true for us on our recent trip to the Big Island. Not only is it affordable, but it is also accessible easily while stile maintaining that "remote" feeling that many travelers are seeking. We arrived late, after dark, but T was there to meet us and guide us to the house. It's small, but cozy, and T has thought of everything. The kitchen was well-appointed and the overall space was cozy, charming, and comfortable. In the morning, T brought us the best avocados we have ever tasted, as well as bananas and tangerines. He gave up an hour of his morning to give us a tour of his incredible farm. We learned SO much from him!
Highlights: stars at night, screened porch for sipping coffee at sunrise, chameleons lurking around the premises, and a kitchen in which you can actually cook yourself a nice meal, which we did!
It's a little far from the typical island activities (namely the resort-type things you might do on the Kohala coast), but that's exactly what we were seeking. We will tell all of our friends and family to consider making T's place a part of their next trip to Kona.
