My wife and I got to spend an amazing week in cottage #3. it is a beautiful country side cottage, great ocean/sunrise view, with a large farm to explore. The Hamakua coast is a beautiful place to stay if you want to disconnect from everyday city living, but it is still a short drive to Hilo, with tons of hidden gems along the way. Botanical gardens, Akaka falls, zip lines, amazing beaches, delicious local restaurants (Tex drive in, 20 mins north, had some of the best malasada's ever!) The Papa aloa country store, about 1 min away from the farm, has plenty of options to stock your fridge and a cafe also if you don't want to cook! We were lucky enough to have fresh coconuts fall right next to the cottage, which made for a delicious treat, with banana trees, and a bread fruit tree right outside our door, we got to try the local produce grown right on the farm, there is coffee grown there also, if you've got the time to dry you're own beans while your there. Definitely makes you feel more connected to authentic island life. The crew managing the farm were friendly, helpful, and very insightful when we were trying to find out about the area. About an hour drive to Volcano national park, 1.5 hour drive to Kona, it was a great location to be secluded from the busy cities and still not too far to explore the whole island. It may sound like a long drive, but I guarantee the views and different micro-climates you'll see make the drives worth it! We used an app called gypsy guide, it is a guided tour with stories and history about almost every area of the island, it is like having a tour guide for $12, definitely worth it if you don't know much about the history and culture around the island. Sidra's place is beautiful, although if you expect some kind of fancy resort stay, you're better off in Kona, this is not for you. If you're looking for peacefulness, tranquility, a disconnect from the chaos of everyday life, and to feel as if you're truly living a authentic hawaiian lifestyle, then this is the place you're looking for! Also enjoyed walking over and having coffee on the deck with the nearby farm animals! Overall, this was my favorite hawaiian visit, I've stayed in hotels on other islands, but being here makes you feel more of the true spirit of aloha, and if you can enjoy the fresh fruits (picked yourself!) and everything on the 10 acre farm, you will have an amazing experience. If I could, I would give them 10 stars for the experience we got to have. This is a small farm cottage, please don't expect perfection, we had a couple small issues, but they were addressed and fixed as soon as we let them know. Couldn't have had a better experience, and we definitely want to stay there again! Thank you Sidra, Felicia & Robbie. It was a truly memorable experience! Aloha
