We stayed here and used it as our base to explore this northern part of the Big Island of Hawaii. It was a great location and we really enjoyed this B&B. Erica and Derek are very welcoming hosts and full of enthusiasm for where they live. A lovely continental breakfast was served each morning and I found it had a lovely European flavour to it.
Our Dream Room was comfortable and well equipped with all we needed to prepare our meals at the end of a day of hiking or of visiting the beach.

We stayed at the beautiful "Aaah the views" B&B on the recommendation of a friend. We are glad we followed her advice, we had an excellent stay. The B&B is run by Erika and Derek who made us feel at home straight away, they are such warm, generous people that our 3 nights there felt like staying with friends. The accommodation is of the highest standard in terms of fixtures and fittings and our room(the dream room) was just that. We had uninterrupted views across the high plateau to Mauna Kea and with a gentle stream flowing beside the room, it was an idyllic setting. There is a jacuzzi tub and an outdoor shower to enjoy as well as a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed breakfasts on the covered Lanai with the same amazing view, chatting with the other guests, as well as with Erika and Derek. As a couple they could not do enough for us and helped with restaurant reservations and trip advice and beaches to go to and lent us beach chairs and towels. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend Aaah the views as a base for exploring the big island of Hawai'i.

My husband and I were advised by family to splurge and stay at one of the fancy resorts on the Big Island for our 3-day stay. We're so glad we didn't.

Erika & Derek run this B&B so smoothly that we felt pampered the whole time. The views of Mauna Kea and lush pastures from our window, as well as the babbling brook right outside, were merely our introduction to the serenity and beauty of this B&B. This B&B is impeccably clean, well-appointed, comfortable, and even decked out with kitchen amenities (fridge, microwave, toaster, hot plate, and all the kitchenware you'd need) as well as little details that travelers sometimes forget (bathroom/hygiene supplies, robes, etc.) The outdoor shower topped it all off. (We loved it so much that we never bothered to use the jacuzzi tub in our room!)

Erika greeted us each morning with a delicious spread of fresh fruits, juice, coffee/teas, baked goods, eggs, yogurt, and granola. Since she and her family live in Kamuela/Waimea, Erika was able to provide us with terrific advice on sightseeing, dining, and adventure. Derek and Erika are both world travelers, so we had much to chat about; but neither of them is overbearing, so we felt free to get up and out according to our schedule.

Derek is an excellent masseur: I slept and woke without pain for the first time in months after an hour-long massage by him.

Lastly, one of the major advantages for us of a terrific B&B like this one over a well-mannered but factory-like hotel is our ability to meet fellow travelers. Aaah The Views did not disappoint: we were delighted to chat one morning with a couple from Slovakia now living in China!

What a beautiful setting amidst nature! Convenient location and hosts Erik and Derek who make sure guests are comfortable.
