We stayed for two nights and it was fantastic experience staying at Pua's Shrine.
When we got there, Pua's son helped us check in, which was lovely, and as we entered the place, I immediatley fell in love with the Shrine!!!
The place is exteremly comfortable, clean, packed with everything you need and filled with its own Aloha spirit.
It's magical just being in there any time - dawn, middle of the day, when it's raining, at night.
For two mornings in a row, I woke up earlier than I usually do, just to enjoy the place getting brighter little by little, listening to bugs and chickens, which was one of the best moments I had in 1-week Hawaii trip!
Have some time to take a look at the bookshelves in the room as Pua's collection is awesome. So many books about Hawaii's people, ancient society, traditional play, geography, anthropology and so on...! (as well as many helpful books for tourists)
Pua is incredibly helpful and caring!!! She is literally a perfect host and I almost felt sad checking out.
My partner and I are back home now and still missing Pua and her Shrine. Would definitely stay again!!!
P.S For future guests, ask Pua about the small bay near Botanical Garden. Pua's place is actually on the 4-mile-scenic-drive, and if you drive to your right as you come out of Pua's and drive along the road for about 5-10 minutes, you'll pass where cars have pulled over (mostly tourists?). Pull over, walk down the small path and you'll see some amazing sight.
