Hit the pause button and relax at our peaceful stream side retreat. Located next to the Waipio Lookout, our Hamakua Coast rain forest property is the perfect place to recharge and rejuvenate. Hear the rush of our waterfall and enjoy our private oasis. We’re a ten minute drive to Historical Honoka’a Town with restaurants, movie theater, grocery stores, shopping, art galleries, post office and hospital. Horseback riding, hiking, ATV rentals are close by. Our Banana Belt climate is perfect!

This is a spacious, high ceiling one bedroom retreat located on the second floor with a private entrance. There is a full kitchen, including refrigerator, oven, stove and microwave; dishes, silver-ware and coffee maker. There is a newly installed 40 Internet TV! It is fully furnished and cozy with a king sized bed and large couch for putting your feet up and resting. There is also a private balcony with tree top views.

Running through the middle of the property is a peaceful year round stream, molded with spiritual sized rocks and surrounded by rain forest. The stream cascades over small waterfalls among the rocks, and terminates in a dramatic 50 foot water fall. Put your feet in the water, play with the craw fish, or layout on the rocks in the sun. Listen to the rushing sound of the river, enjoy a book by the stream or explore the magical gardens that weave in and out of the gulch.

Our sunny climate is tempered by the trade winds. There is a constant breeze keeping temperatures cool, comfortable and perfect. We're a five minute walk to the Waipio Valley Lookout. Take in the majestic high valley cliffs and ocean views. Watch whales breaching with views to Maui.

Guests have access to the magic gardens, the front yard garden in front of the log cabin primary residence, the gulch and to views of the waterfall. There is an occupied downstairs unit that you do not have access to. The log cabin primary residence is not available at this time.

    We were very impressed with the grounds, which is literally a lovely jungle botanical garden. Just within steps of the house is a small stream and waterfall, surrounded by beautiful tropical plants. The unit itself was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with all the amenities you can think of. Locally, the dining options are fairly limited, because the nearby town, (Honokaha), is very small. But, there's a large grocery store, if you want to pick up some items as you pass through town. There is an adequate assortment of shops in Honokaha to keep you busy for a day of browsing, but if you start craving a bigger city, Waimea is 20 miles away. This was a very enjoyable mini-vacation for my wife and I, which we may repeat.

    What a wonderful place! Great communication with the friendly host, Darin. The grounds are spectacular, with tropical plants and a beautiful waterfall. Very quiet, and very near the Waipi'o overlook. Apartment is very clean and nicely furnished. Loved the eclectic decor! Kitchen is great, with everything you need to cook in. (You're a bit far from town, so restaurants may not be an option, and everything closes early in that part of Hawaii!). But if you want a secluded, serene island experience, this place is it!It IS a 2nd floor apartment, so not an option if you have mobility issues, but worked great for us.Definitely one of our favorite stays on the islands. Would definitely stay here again if we are back on the big island!Mahalo!

    Excellent location, cute charming place. Eclectic decor. We thoroughly enjoyed the place & the environs - especially the waterfall. It felt like we were in the rainforest. The kitchen was well appointed - loved the caramel pecan coffee! Highly recommend this place...

    The apartment was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the original artwork and colorful decor. The grounds were beautiful, filled with a waterfall, orchards hanging on trees and chairs scattered throughout the gardens to sit and take in the beauty of nature.

    Host was very responsive, the frogs serenaded us to some of the best sales we’ve had in years. The birds gently woke us up. What a great find!

    We had a short one night stay, but it was fantastic. The apartment was cute and comfortable and getting to sleep serenaded by the waterfall and forest noises was magical.

    What an absolutely delightful stay! This was our favorite place of all during our week on the island. We loved the decor and of course the gardens. The location was perfect for us. The only thing lacking was more time on our agenda for a longer stay. Mahalo Darin!

    This property is very well loved and it shows in the work that has been put into it. I know from experience the hard work it takes to create and maintain grounds in a rainforest-like setting. A whimsical delight!
