Very special quiet retreat in the forest. The house is fairly new and has an intelligent, minimalist design. If you’re a history buff, it’s just up the hill from the spot where Captain Cook died in a skirmish with Hawaiians.
Owners were very hospitable and friendly.
Please heed the warning about 4WD. We were supposed to get an SUV from rental agency, but were given a small sedan instead. This isn’t a good choice to make it to the house. Luckily, hosts were able to help us out.
If you want a taste of Hawaii away from resort culture, this is your spot.
