Kurt and his wife were excellent hosts; they were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the island and things to do. We loved the daily farm-to-table style breakfast, the variety of fresh fruit was incredible! The room was well furnished and the view from the patio was simply breathtaking. We can definitely picture staying here again in the future!

Great view and place in captain cook area

Our hosts kurt and hana are the best. They're very informative and treated us like family. Their home breakfast meals were much better than 5 star hotels. I would definitely recommend their place. Very quiet and respectful atmosphere. The place is a little tricky at first to get to driving, but once you do its easy to remember.

Overall, the place was great. The hosts were wonderful. Spectacular view! Only negative was the drive to the house. The last half mile through a one-lane path. The path was difficult to maneuver as the terrain was rough and had steep sections. The rain made it even more difficult. Didn't end up being an issue, but one note is that they only take check or cash, no debit or credit cards. This was identified in the communication, but can easily be overlooked.
