The property is stunning. The first time looking at the view from the deck was a great feeling! Both sunrise and sunset are especially epic. Birds, chickens, and cows will be your natural alarm clock.
The home is as described, be sure to read the complete instructions from David, the host.
The kitchen is very well equipped, there is a very handy ice machine and all kinds of coffee accessories. There is also also a grill and multiple indoor and outdoor dining tables to choose from. The bedrooms have a terrific view and have very comfortable and plush blankets and pillows.
We used the pool and hot tub area many times during our trip, you have to download an app and reserve time slots, it’s very easy and convenient provided you know how to use a smartphone :). FYI the pool is not heated, so it makes for a nice break from the hot tub, which is on consistently and doesn’t need to be switched on and off. This means no waiting around for the tub to heat up after a long day which is especially awesome. The pool area is great during the day or at night with the lights. Let me also just add that the pool is kept remarkably clean!
We didn’t see any other guests during our stay, but we did meet Dawn, David’s wife, while she was tending to the (very fluffy) chickens in the beautiful garden. She was extremely helpful and gave us a lot of tips for our onward journey to Lahaina!
3 nights was not enough in this beautiful villa, highly recommend staying here for as long as possible, Upcountry is just beautiful, remote, and peaceful. Keep in mind that the house is a considerable way up the mountain roads and there are a few narrower switchbacks and the driveway is steep. That’s part of the whole experience!
Mahalo David!
