Such a beautiful place, loved the outdoor kitchen, amazing hosts!

This is a modest accommodation with shared living room/ kitchen and bath. The beds are comfortable and the ocean view spectacular. If you are looking for a resort this is not for you. But if you are looking to have a more Hawaiian experience at a good price this lodge could be for you.

Didn't have the opportunity to meet the owner Greg but we did have a brief phone chat upon checking in as his doorbell links with his cell phone (handy!). He was friendly and accommodating. The blinds in my room were somewhat out of whack so they did not close well enough in one section but that was a minor issue overall.

The flex kitchen space, common areas and outdoor grounds were great; very inviting. The amenities were thoughtful and addressed the potential needs of the guests and were much appreciated. Free oranges and macadamia nuts, what's not to like? It was also a nicely quiet location, with ease of access to nearby village and Waipio Valley Lookout.

The location was close to town, making it easy to go out for meals. The house was right off the main road, making it easy to find. The owner was onsite and available to answer questions. We rented all 3 rooms and sharing the living room felt as if we rented the entire floor. Very comfortable and the owners were very nice.

The bed was too soft for me, and we did not get the room we chose in the picture.

The location is incredible if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, serene environment. The bathroom is spacious and gives plenty of room to change after showering (as long as other guests aren't waiting). The kitchen area is fantastic - there is a refrigerator, an electric kettle, an electric coffee maker, a toaster and a microwave inside the shared livingroom area. Just outside, under a roof (covered from sun/rain), there is a cooking area with pots and pans, a washing area and picnic benches. The cooking area includes a grill!!

not easily accessible for a disabled person, such as walking on gravel to the house, especially in the rain. No reserved parking for the handicap. Heard noisy water pipes from upstairs. No cable tv.

Location - close to event.

No complaints really except for yhe LOUD international travelers. Had to remind them to quiet down. Upside down schedules. Didn't sleep the best because of it. But that's it. Loved it overall.

Loved the old style rustic lodge. Takes me back...beautiful location and property!

More communication. I would have preferred being able to speak to the hosts personally rather than it being pretty much a completely digital experience.

We didn't receive a breakfast. I liked the location very much. Our grandparents lived in Ahualoa and it reminded me of "the old days".

Queu to shared bathroom, noises of machinery outside and generally poor sound insulation

Good location to visit Waipio Valley. Cozy double room. Easy check-in. Free parking onsite

Beautiful views and property

The creaky doors…kind of difficult to be quiet for other guests when we needed to use our room door.

Beds were very comfortable! Location was great! Clean and relaxing!

The bathroom at a very odd smell during our stay. To the eye it was clean, but it smelled like the toilet was leaking, and during our Four night stay the hand towel was never replaced, even though there were other patrons staying in the hostel type setting. The bedroom we slept in had a comfortable bed and a fan was provided but my cousin bruised her shins multiple times due to very large clamps that stuck out from holding the bed frame together at the corners. The house, as advertised, is incredibly old, so when they explain that their family is upstairs, this is something to be wary of. evenings and mornings are very loud, much louder than anticipated, though we were in the location for exploring rather than lounging and relaxing at the lodge, so we weren’t too bothered - just something to take into consideration if you would be.

The location was fantastic. We were able to travel all over the northern coast line very easily. And we loved heading back on the dark roads to the secluded, mellow area where the lodge is. We liked how we were able to pick the fruit of the property as well, and coffee is provided if you’d like to make it, and they have an outdoor kitchen set up if you would like to cook your own food.

location, quality

Didn’t realize when I booked that there was a shared bathroom, but there were no issues and the bathroom was clean.

Really like the outdoor kitchen area with an ocean view.

We could not find the remote for the TV. Not that we cared about watching TV... it would have been a distraction from all the great books they had available to peruse. The ventilation in the room was not great. Expect to hear the kids upstairs romping around before bedtime. We didn't mind, but some may. It ceased at 8:00pm so no big deal.

This is a private home on the first floor where they've converted the cellar into three rooms with a shared bathroom with a common room. The beds are comfortable. We had the entire place to ourselves. The view from the outside tent area is incredible!

You could hear the family on the second floor and when they turned on their faucet (not sure if it was a shower, tub, sink) but it was pretty loud. Also people walking around upstairs... but it was only mildly uncomfortable.

The location was what I'd consider remote for the Big Island but if you are visiting the Waipo Valley or overlook, this is a wonderful place to stay. It is on the lower level of the proprietors home. I did notice that they had some very large, deluxe style tents with actual wood floors that overlook the spectacular Pacific Ocean. There were fresh bananas and macadamia nuts and other fruits as well available for the taking.

Amazing! The tent exceeded our expectations with an amazing view of the ocean in a magical place. The interior of the tent was top notch- very clean and the bed was hotel quality.

Conversations and upstairs family activities can be heard from downstairs bedroom where I stayed.

The host was friendly and the lodge area, which is the basement of the house, is decorated tastefully. The location is great and overall it was a nice experience with having an area to cook and sit outside with a view of the ocean.

we rented the rooms inside the house, they are not really suitable for relaxing holidays. It's dump and has little sunlight. In the wooden shower there are little mushrooms growing between the boards. The interieur (e.g. doors and electricity) isn't in a good shape. We stayed a couple of days there since we'd intented to hike Waimea Valley. However, for two years now tourists are not allowed anymore to go down there.

we were invited to pick and eat fruits and nuts from the Garden. Sitting outside there ist a beautiful view in the sea. The tents in the garden to rent look really fancy and have enough space to hang out.

Great stay with Greg, next time we want to come back and stay in the yurt/tents. Very clean rooms, bathroom, and shared space. Easy peasy to check in and out, very relaxed environment. Parking right onsite.
