Tranquil cottage in peaceful Kohala farm setting

This studio cottage sits on 5 acres of orchard, gulch and gardens with the Kohala coast as a backdrop. The owners farm the back 20 acres with cattle, sheep, goats and chickens. We are located midway between the towns of Hawi and Kapa'au--both known for their quaint shops and restaurants. Although only a 5-minute drive to town, the cottage is set back from the road and is completely surrounded by tall bamboo and ironwood trees ensuring a tranquil and private environment. Guests may wander the grounds to pick seasonal fruits, herbs and veggies, visit with the animals or kick back in a comfy hammock to enjoy the tradewinds. Complimentary Direct TV and internet are available for your convenience. There is a kitchenette complete with microwave, 2 burner hot plate, coffee maker, toaster oven, blender and refrigerator. It is fully supplied with dishes and cookware should you choose to prepare your own meals. There is a dining table with views of the front lawn and orchard and a country grocery store just across the street. The comfortable queen sized bed sleeps two and the bath has both tub and shower. Scenic Pololu Valley and lookout is a 20 minute drive to the north and Hapuna Beach State Park and Kohala resorts are a 25 minute drive to the south. Other activities in the area include kohala zip line, Upolu airport sky diving, and horse back riding. Farmers market at the HUB open on saturdays.

Kohala Cottage
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was well located for sightseeing on this part of the island and near to dining and shopping. The grounds were delightful and hidden from the main road. Peggy was gracious, accommodating and helpful. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Wonderful cottage on farm nearby historic sites. Nearby snorkeling at Mokukona and Spencer. Nice swimming and hanging out at Spencer and Hapuna. Not for everyone if you aren't looking for a quiet farm setting. It's home to world's sweetest dog, Sushi. Overall, 5 stars.

Lovely, quiet, convenient cottage. Amazing hosts
We had a wonderful visit here. The hosts Peggy and Ken were amazing, friendly, and made us feel at home. Peggy even brought over homemade jam, bread, cheese, and a couple of slices of birthday cake during our stay. The property is quiet and beautiful. The cottage is well-maintained and private. It is also well within reach of many amazing Big Island beaches. We would stay here again!

Fabulous
Very friendly and accommodating hosts, Peggy and Ken, arigato gozaimashita! The VRBO off the coastal road opens like a Shangri-La. It is close to the "high road" to Waimea and the coastal road towards Kona, great views both ways. Highly recommend.

Amazingly generous hosts. Beautiful property with citrus fruit to pick/ eat fresh. Groceries right across the street. Lots of beautiful places to explore and access beach/ watching for whales. Cute little town of Hawi nearby, quiet an away from hustle of Kona. Great access Rds to Waimea / Hamakua Coastline. Very highly recommended stay!

Our favorite stay on the Big Island!
We loved staying here! First of all, Peggy and Ken are incredibly warm and welcoming and such genuinely nice people. Peggy left us many snacks and other treats, and the unit is very private and feels like your own tiny cottage. The bedding and towels were older but cotton, and we were finally able to be comfortable (other places had polyester sheets that ran hot)! The location was excellent although very tricky to find and it's easy to miss the turnoff. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely place with gracious hosts
We have been to the Big Island many times, but it was our first stay in Kapua. It won’t be our last! We had a quiet peaceful stay on Peggy and Ken’s beautiful farm. They were such gracious, kind people that shared food and farm tales. It’s such a peaceful place to unwind, would highly recommend.

Spectacular grounds with sweeping lawn and big trees and lots of interesting plantings. The chickens and ducks were fun to watch too. A well appointed casita with large windows and great views of the yard. I just wish we could have stayed longer.

Good vibes and beautiful surroundings
We had such a wonderful stay! Peggy and Ken are warm, kind, good spirited people. Peggy surprised us with fresh Starfruit, avocados, apple bananas, and lilikoi. We never had Starfruit before and we were hooked, ate it everyday for breakfast. Their property is stunning and well maintained. We took a tour and met the goats, sheep, and cows. My daughter fell in love with Suishi, their sweet and friendly dog. Would definitely love to stay here again! Thank you for sharing your happy place with us.

Life on the Farm...
The hosts, Peggy and Ken, were delightful and made us feel so welcomed during our 4 week stay. The little suite was really quite nice and totally functional given its compactness. We recommend this listing for anyone wanting to enjoy the Big Island while staying away from the congestion of Kailua Kona city. Highpoints of the trip are many but meeting Peggy and Ken has got to be the top of that list.

Side trip to the Big Island
My husband and I spent 5 days on the Big Island prior to going to a family reunion on Maui. We participated and enjoyed the following activities on the north end of the island: King Kamehameha I Day (was within walking distance of the ceremony/statue), aikido (Aikido of Kohala), hiking, and snorkeling. Our hosts, Peggy and Ken, were excellent. Present if we needed anything but not intrusive. Beautiful property.
