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.

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.

We so enjoyed this quiet property. Many fruit to pick and enjoy, kitchen is very well equipped, beds and furniture are very comfortable. About a half hour to the beaches and a lovely drive to whale watch as you go. It really is a perfect location for us. Thank you so much!

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!!

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.

Plantation style home
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.

The house was perfect, just what we where looking for. Great location for exploring the whole island. Loved the authentic decor, beds where comfortable, and kitchen was clean and well stocked, not to mention the very large private yard in a quiet neighborhood. We hope to come again next year.

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.

Another Relaxing Stay in Kapaau
I have stayed at the house a number of times and continue to enjoy the fresh fruit from the trees on the property, especially the avocados and limes (great to make fresh guac) and the rural atmosphere. Close to Pololu and a short drive to Spencer Beach Park make it a great place for a relaxing stay in Hawaii. Make sure you check out Sushi Rock for dinner...

Beautiful property and house
We loved our stay. The house was very clean, large and spacious, and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking. The location was ideal for exploring the northwest side of the island. We had a tremendous time and look forward to returning.

Beautiful, old traditional plantation house built in the days of the bustling sugar production.
Our family enjoyed the amazing grounds and the accommodations were perfect. The kitchen was modern, living room spacious and invited trade winds, and the high ceilings and two eating rooms gave us formal and informal venues. We loved the walks around the neighborhood, and the many activities to choose from. Beaches were not too far. Thank you to Dom for being in touch with us and so proactive in making sure we had a pleasant stay! We will be returning!

Well priced and cute historic home!
The place is well priced for Hawaii. It’s a bit far from everything but if you want a secluded place, this will work very well. The bedrooms are kind of all together so there’s not a lot of separateness. I had to ask my sister if she was up or leave through the front door. Dominique was very attentive.
