Rental Details

Property Overview

Beautiful Indoor-Outdoor living for three at our peaceful stream side retreat with private gazebo. 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 10 minute drive to Historical Honoka’a Town with restaurants, theater, grocery stores, shopping, art galleries, & P.O. Horseback riding, hiking, ATV rentals are close. Our "Banana Belt" climate is perfect!

This is a cozy one bedroom retreat with a touch of modern located on the first floor. The first floor flows into a private, large outdoor deck and patio with a private gazebo for taking your meals, reading a book or visiting outdoors. The gazebo is sided with mosquito netting for outdoor sleeping. You have your own private entrance for coming and going, and attached, your own private bathroom. It is fully furnished with a comfortable king sized bed, a twin-size day bed, and extraordinarily, comfy low-set large couch for putting your feet up and resting.

There is a full kitchen, including full size refrigerator, gas oven, stove and microwave; dishes, silver-ware and coffee maker. There is a newly installed 43" Internet TV!

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 stream, meditate, enjoy a book or explore the magical gardens that weave in and out of the gulch. For the adventurous you can even go exploring in our rainforest.

We have HiSpeed Internet! For the remote worker or writer, the apartment can be your live-in remote office or studio for longer-term stays. Washer and dryer are available on premises.

We are a ten minute drive to Honokaa, which puts you central between Kona and Hilo, both an hour and fifteen minute drive away. Enjoy the sites and nature down the Hamakua Coast between here and Hilo, or we’re an easy forty-five minutes to the many West coast beaches on the way to Kona.

Everything was incredible! Hosts Darin and Katerina went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. The stream, waterfall, profusion of foliage and flowers were all stupendous We've already reserved the Waterfall Cabin for next year.

Everything was perfect! Beautiful property with everything we needed. Coqui are loud, but owner provides earplugs if you need them. Thanks to the host for sharing this typical paradise.

This lower level apartment was so beautifully styled in peach and teal. So many wonderful details, and such a nice space. Lots of windows for air flow and the private deck and gazebo were so serene. The rainforest sounds surround the apartment and make it a special experience. The waterfall and creek are so special. The hosts were so kind and responsive! We appreciated this space and the overall property and location!

This property is special because of the amazing abundance of plants and flowers on the property, including a river and waterfall!! The night was a symphony of sounds, birds and frogs at night. We also enjoyed the communual netted gazebo on the patio with fairy lights. There is internet, but no cell service meant we didn't spend time on the phone, and why would we in this paradise :)
