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.
The cottage features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a desk. Change of towels is available on request.

First off, the location is handy in that you can easily get to many sites in the area and walk across the street to the best grocery in the area. The setting is idyllic and feels remote except for the nearby cars. You can sit in lounge chairs on the large expensive lawn. The lovely unit is perfectly set up with a nice kitchen and everything you need. Peggy and Ken are welcoming and generous with their fruit. I am interested in plants and Peggy gave me a tour of the farm which I found fascinating. All and all, this was perfect little home for me!

The cottage was attached to the garage and it was always quiet. Beautiful views from the kitchen table when having morning coffee. They have chickens, ducks, cows, sheep and maybe some things I didn't see. The north end of the island doesn't have any of the out of control drunk tourists that the resorts have. Always a breeze. If you need AC then you should choose another property. There is a grocery store right across from the property. Within 5 minutes of driving, there are places to eat. Not big restaurants. King's View cafe has great food and drinks. It's directly across from King Kamehameha statue and visitor center. Too many nature adventures to list here. The host was so friendly and took us on a tour of the farm. If you like quiet, this is your place. All you hear is the frogs at night.

It couldn't get any better

What can I say, Peggy and Ken made me feel like a guest in their home. The cottage is as advertised. The bed was amazing. The gentle breezes lulled me to sleep and I was able to eat all my meals in the home. the grocery is a 3 minutes walk to the end of the driveway. Everything you need to cook is there and they provided fresh fruit and lemonade. If you want to be away from the tourists and just relax, this is the place. I am a little hesitant to tell people about this place to keep it to myself but that wouldn't be right. I got up early every morning and hiked down Polulu Valley and had it to myself. This is also not a bad place for honeymooners either. Mahalo Peggy and Ken.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming and lovely cottage. The studio unit had everything we needed plus the beautiful green yard with palm trees to look out was very special.

A really special place in Kohala

The setting was so beautiful. A lush, expansive, grassy lawn surrounded by gorgeous tropical trees and shrubs, a few ducks and hens roaming peacefully around the grounds. Very quiet, private, and peaceful. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed to cook a light meal or to just sit and relax. Peggy and Ken were wonderful hosts, checking in from time to time to see if they could help us in any way. We'll certainly be back.

Kapua Gulch Farms

This was much more than a residential rental and far beyond my expectations. It was an experience. In addition to a well appointed unit ideally suited to a single traveler or a couple was a beautiful, lush, well kept and managed country farm. Hens with little chicks scurrying across an expansive lawn, an occasional duck joining in, and a botanical depth hard to describe were all your view from the kitchen table. Stroll the grounds farther to view goats and the sheep. The on-site host was welcoming and eager to share in the workings of the operation. The property was very easy to find, and also convenient to local stores, shops restaurants, and historical sites. I was sad to leave and would return in a heartbeat. Treat your self to this one.
