About this property

Tranquil cottage in peaceful Kohala farm setting

This studio cottage sits on 5 acres of orchard, gulch and gardens with the Kohala coast as a backdrop. The owners farm the back 20 acres with cattle, sheep, goats and chickens. We are located midway between the towns of Hawi and Kapa'au--both known for their quaint shops and restaurants. Although only a 5-minute drive to town, the cottage is set back from the road and is completely surrounded by tall bamboo and ironwood trees ensuring a tranquil and private environment. Guests may wander the grounds to pick seasonal fruits, herbs and veggies, visit with the animals or kick back in a comfy hammock to enjoy the tradewinds. 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.

Life on the Farm...
The hosts, Peggy and Ken, were delightful and made us feel so welcomed during our 4 week stay. The little suite was really quite nice and totally functional given its compactness. We recommend this listing for anyone wanting to enjoy the Big Island while staying away from the congestion of Kailua Kona city. Highpoints of the trip are many but meeting Peggy and Ken has got to be the top of that list.

Amazingly generous hosts. Beautiful property with citrus fruit to pick/ eat fresh. Groceries right across the street. Lots of beautiful places to explore and access beach/ watching for whales. Cute little town of Hawi nearby, quiet an away from hustle of Kona. Great access Rds to Waimea / Hamakua Coastline. Very highly recommended stay!

Peaceful, beautiful!
Exquisite property - a perfect place to slow down and get in touch with nature. It is immaculate with a comfortable bed and everything needed for a couple to stay comfortably - we stayed for 10 days and couldn’t have been happier. It is an easy walk into Hawi and a short car jaunt along the coast to to Spencer’s Park Beach and it’s trail to the other major beaches. The owner was kind, informative, attentive and never intrusive! Highly recommend and we hope to stay there again!
