Complimentary Direct TV and internet are available for your convenience. There is a kitchenette complete with microwave, 2 burner hot plate, coffee maker, toaster oven, blender and refrigerator. It is fully supplied with dishes and cookware should you choose to prepare your own meals. There is a dining table with views of the front lawn and orchard and a country grocery store just across the street. The comfortable queen sized bed sleeps two and the bath has both tub and shower. Scenic Pololu Valley and lookout is a 20 minute drive to the north and Hapuna Beach State Park and Kohala resorts are a 25 minute drive to the south. Other activities in the area include kohala zip line, Upolu airport sky diving, and horse back riding. Farmers market at the HUB open on saturdays.

The property is beautiful and private. The host was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the area. It was fun to get a tour of the farm. The ohana was comfortable and had everything needed. It was a treat to stay right between Hawi and Kapa’au.

First off, the location is handy in that you can easily get to many sites in the area and walk across the street to the best grocery in the area. The setting is idyllic and feels remote except for the nearby cars. You can sit in lounge chairs on the large expensive lawn. The lovely unit is perfectly set up with a nice kitchen and everything you need. Peggy and Ken are welcoming and generous with their fruit. I am interested in plants and Peggy gave me a tour of the farm which I found fascinating. All and all, this was perfect little home for me!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was well located for sightseeing on this part of the island and near to dining and shopping. The grounds were delightful and hidden from the main road. Peggy was gracious, accommodating and helpful. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.
