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.

Great house!

The house had everything we needed. Our family of 5 was very comfortable. Our only recommendation is that the bunk bed room should have a bigger fan.

Great time, Great house

Once again we had an amazing time in Kapa'au. We adventured the whole island, and had a cozy home to come back to every night. Well equipped, clean, and very quiet. I mean except for the roosters and coqui frogs :) We love it!!

Traditional Hawaiian Home

We were visiting family so this property worked out perfectly for family dinners and hanging out. I would definitely choose this property again. It's away from the touristy areas. This property had everything from beach equipment, washer and drier, and well stocked kitchen equipment. Thank you to our Host.

Our stay started off a little rough BUT the owner was very good in responding to my issues. This is a lovely place to stay and sometimes cleaners donʻt always do their jobs- it happens. This issue did not hamper our vacation at this beautiful plantation house.

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.

Welcome to Old Hawaii

Very nice and clean old-style Hawaiian home in rural area. It is very private and quiet although it is likely you will hear the resident fowl and frogs. It is very close to a number of historic sites, beaches, and hikes--and interesting country roads. A few stores in Hawi and Kapuu have coffee and other snacks (and local art) and there is a nearby grocery. If you are looking for "off the beaten path" this place should be on your list.

Old Hawaii at its best

Experience a real Hawaiian feeling in the town of Hawi, in this lovely home. True relaxation and few tourists. Would highly recommend if you are ready for a low key vacation. Just one issue: the home is across the road from a rooster farm, so if you want to experience true Hawaii, bring your earplugs.

This is a 3 bedroom home with a large front and back yard. Big private porch looks out on the front yard with a small ocean view. Lots of avocado and mango trees. Feels like you are in a small country town in Hawaii. Umbrellas and beach chairs are provided.

Beautiful plantation home in secluded neighborhood!

We all enjoyed the spaciousness of this well kept plantation home. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, etc. Keep in mind that the local fauna has a nice chorus going at times - coqui frogs, hens, rooster- which didn’t bother us, but you may want to pack ear plugs. Everything was very clean and tidy and our group had a lovely, relaxing, time. Thank you!

A Welcoming Haven

We arrived from the mainland during the COVID pandemic, so my son and I had to quarantine for 14 days. Not a hardship! This sweet plantation house in a bucolic setting provided all that we could need or want. The owner thought of every detail — from adequate amounts of ziploc bags to comfy white towels. The recent renovations make the charming farmhouse style feel up to date where it especially counts: the kitchen and bathroom. Plus, whenever I had a question, the owner’s response was swift and generous. I will recommend this lovely home to friends looking for a rental in beautiful North Kohala.

Great north island location.

Six of us had a great time. The house was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Lots of great local beaches, historical sites, and other attractions. We loved the winding drive to Waimea, the beach at Hapuna and the black sand beach at Pololu. Next time we’ll plan to do more snorkeling and hikes.
