We had a wonderful time at Hawi at this lovely organic farm. The home is beautiful and spacious. The outside shower was lovely and relaxing. Hammock was relaxing and the views of the ocean and Maui were breathtaking. Truly a gem. We had an issue on the first night but the owner compensated for the problem accordingly. The farm fruits and veggies were delicious and I especially loved the dragon fruit. It was nice to get to know Lila and her sweet kids. My kids enjoyed the farm tour and we loved learning about how to farm in Hawaii. Walking to the coffee shop in downtown Hawi in the morning was relaxing and enjoyable. This home was conveniently close to great hikes in Kapaau and Pololu Valley.
We knew we were going to have a good time when our host and her daughter met us at the gate on their horses:) This was a family vacation including Mom, Dad, Daughter and Husband and Son. This house is located on a working organic farm just outside of Hawi on the north side of the island. Our host and her family live on and work the farm. It was very nice having them onsite for questions and they were not at all intrusive. The house has an excellent westerly view of the ocean and Maui in the distance. The five of us were very comfortable in the house. The kitchen was well equipped...we found all the utensils we needed. There is one full bathroom inside, one full bathroom outside. The master bath has the toilet, sinks and tub inside and the shower is outside. The house also came equipped with a visiting dog and two cats which we enjoyed (Kahu likes to play fetch). There are fresh eggs and vegetables available for purchase from the garage. The porch is large and well equipped with couches, chairs and a hammock and faces the gardens out back as well as the ocean. The house does not have a TV...and we didn\'t miss it. The town of Hawi is about a 10 minute walk down the road. It\'s a small town but has the essentials...coffee shop, ice cream shop, restaurants and grocery stores. We walked into town several times. Being located on the northern part of the island, getting to the beachs and hiking destinations does take some driving but we did not find it onerous...just takes some planning. If you\'re traveling from the east, you\'ll be up early anyway:) If you\'re looking for a house surrounded by nature and quiet that\'s a little bit separated from the tourist rush, you will like this place. We did!! The Calhouns and Trottas
We spent 5 blissful days/nights with our children (4 & 7). I can\'t imagine a more peaceful, restorative accommodation on the Big Island, or any island. The house/property has everything you need. Thank you Richard & Natalie for sharing your beautiful home, property, produce, knowledge & time. The only bad thing about this place is leaving. Stop looking and book it, you\'ll be happy.
Thank you Richard and Natalie for your generosity and for creating such a wonderful environment. Gardens were beautiful and the home had everything we could have wished for for our stay in Hawi!
Richard and Natalie made us feel warmly welcomed in their lovely, spacious and peaceful retreat. Magnificent views of the ocean, rainbows and Maui, a luxurious outdoor shower, flowers and produce from their working organic farm -- it was all wonderful!
