I loved this place! It was my first time to Hawaii and I was traveling solo. The manager, Julia, was wonderfully accommodating and friendly. It was an ideal location to meet the locals, see the Punalu`u black sand beaches (where I was lucky enough to see 4 sea turtles resting on the beach), Volcanoes National Park (Kilauea and Kahuku sides), South Point, and of course the exquisitely beautiful coffee farms surrounded by rain forest! I had my meals catered by the staff as well, which was excellent! All grown locally and delicious! Furthermore, the interior decorating is beautifully done - tasteful and comfortable.
There are several cottages - I inquired for future reference - and a very large house often used for weddings, reunions, and big family/friend rentals. I loved it so much that I extended my stay to several weeks!! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone - it's beautiful, cost-effective, friendly and in a great location!
Especially wonderful because it is not one of those terribly expensive tourist trapping resorts that never let you get to know the real Hawaii - this place has class, culture and is surrounded by pristine beaches and rain forests! STYLISH ECO-TOURISM with a historic influence. I give it two thumbs up!
