About this property

Newly renovated piece of paradise. Experience Old Hawaii at its best.

Located just past the town of Hawi in North Kohola, this historic Plantation House dates back to the 1940's when the Union Mill company farmed the land for sugar cane. It once belonged to the plantation doctor. Our renovation has focused on maintaining the style and character of the property while modernizing it to meet modern expectations. While not air conditioned the cooling breezes of North Kohala and plantation design make it comfortable all day and particularly at night.

Accommodation
The house contains 3 bedrooms (2 queen and two bunk beds) and two bathrooms and can accommodate up 6 guests.

Grounds
A ¾ acre lot full of fruit trees seasonally oranges, mangos, papaya, avocado, lime, passion fruit, lemons, cherries and bread fruit.

Amenities
A fully equipped modern kitchen, garden room, large lanai, laundry, TV and high speed internet are included. Newly renovated bathroom with tiled floors and large rain shower.

Nearby Attractions
A FREE access outdoor municipal pool is 5 min away. Nearby you will find a free municipal pool,
beaches, hikes, art galleries, groceries, restaurants, yoga, cultural centre, museums, library and cafe's with live music. Fantastic cycling and hiking/running routes if you like to be active.

Saturday market at the Banyan Tree in Hawi is a must attend for local colour, produce and music.

The famous Poululu Valley is only a 10 min drive away and offers breathtaking vistas.

Amazing spot!!
The house is an amazingly nice, clean and quiet former plantation villa, really well kept and modernized. Nothing more to wish for and would love to come back if we visit the region again!

We so enjoyed this quiet property. Many fruit to pick and enjoy, kitchen is very well equipped, beds and furniture are very comfortable. About a half hour to the beaches and a lovely drive to whale watch as you go. It really is a perfect location for us. Thank you so much!

A beautiful home and a lovely location. We enjoyed being able to hide right down the road. We enjoyed the location beaches. It was relaxing. The house is very well. Set up. We are two couples who travel together frequently and this was an ideal location for us. I would highly recommend this.

About the host

Hosted by Dominique Spragg

Host profile image
Catherine and Dominique live on Vancouver Island in the seaside town of Sidney. We have both been entrepreneurs running their own businesses and appreciate service and quality. When not in Hawaii spending their holidays maintaining and upgrading their house, they spend time with our Portuguese Water Dog (Wylie) and African Grey Parrot (Phoebe) boating in the Gulf Islands on a classic 1968 40 ft Grenfell MV. It appears caring for old wooden boats and homes is an integral part of our lives.

Why they chose this property

When looking for a property to call our own in Hawaii, we looked for something which had character and was away from the usual hotel, golf, beach track. We were looking for a place which spoke to the history of the place we had grown to appreciate during several visits to the area. Finding the Doctor's house which belonged to the Union Mill Plantation company doctor, was the perfect balance.

What makes this property unique

The house is tucked away yet close to amenities. A very private isolated back garden makes a perfect sanctuary full of the sights and sounds of nature and the wind blowing through the palms. Frequent sightings of local birds and the occasional wild piggy (harmless) always make meals in the garden room entertaining. A grand lanai across the front of the house is nicely exposed to the trade breezes and a great place to hang out throughout the day. A comfortable living room equipped with a flat screen TV (Cable, Apple TV and Netflix included).
