Perfect location to see all the sights on the big island. Jennifer and Jeff were the most gracious hosts. The property was gorgeous, well stocked and very comfortable. Waking up and coming back to this oasis each day was fantastic. The gardens are amazing. Would definitely recommend this place and would not hesitate to stay again if the opportunity arises.

Jennifer and Jeff, the hosts of this property are very welcoming. The accomodation is a quaint little cottage at the back of their home that is equipped with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The fruit trees, garden and surrounds are so well care of and we found it very calming and refreshing. I hope we can return one day to stay here again to experience this magical island!

Just a fantastic little spot to get away to. Jennifer and Jeff are very welcoming and have made a truly exceptional oasis here. It’s out of the way enough that you don’t see or hear any of the city stuff, but within striking distance of everything you wanna see on this side of the island. Hope to come back some day soon!
