What does a Hidden Oasis, a Bird Sanctuary, and A Secret Garden have to do with the NorthShore? The answer: A beautiful Airbnb tucked away on the Valhalla Coffee Farm on Oahu. This is a beautiful place that is so hidden you wouldn’t even know that there is a virus out there. My mom passed away on January 31st (not virus related) and so I’ve been trying to process a lot of things and being in this beautiful location has helped me to start figuring out how I can begin to move forward. Their farm is just so unique and peaceful. Just listening and watching all the birds, smelling the fragrant flowers and walking around their farm is exactly what I needed. The grocery store, food trucks, swimming at Turtle Bay are still all close by. On the property is a beautiful small chapel I would go and sit in and say a prayer and light a candle. The cottage I was staying in was equipped with everything I would need. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nicely decorated. There was even a bowl of snacks sitting on the microwave when I arrived. There was a good size kitchen if I wanted to fix a meal. Lots of room to hang up my clothes. Christina gave me a pretty coffee cup when I arrived. Mark handed me a grapefruit from their tree. There was also a place for laundry and I thought the clothes line was cute. There are chairs right outside and two angels right outside the door. I really just loved walking around and especially enjoyed sitting above in this little covered area watching all the birds especially the parrots fly by. Their dog is super friendly and everyone I met there was really nice. If you’re looking for a tranquil place that’s just a short drive from the beaches then this is your place. Mark & Christina were perfect hosts.
