We really enjoyed our stay! It was so quiet and peaceful. We were greeted by the two property cats and fresh fruit, both amazing. Highly recommend!
The Hana harvest cottage is a great place to stay. The cottage was very comfortable, and nicely kept. The location was absolutely beautiful, surrounded by trees and a river. Would highly recommend for travelers looking to unplug and enjoy the Hana area.
Hosts were very accommodating to any needs I had, and very kind helping me with an issue I had early on during my booking process.
The place is cozy and the scenery outside is beautiful and jungle-like.
Good amenities in the kitchen and in the bathroom. The house doesn't have AC. It was fairly warm when we arrived early-evening. But the host did provide a fan to bring in cool air which worked well. Nighttime here was a lot cooler than on the west side of the island, I'm assuming because of the elevation.
The internet is very slow but was always available. Understandable given the remote location. There's satellite TV but some DVDs were also available. The lack of connectivity here really does encourage you to get out of the cottage and enjoy nature. It was helpful staying here to break up the hana highway journey.
Watch out for mosquitos on the balcony
Exactly what we were looking for and more. Loved the covered lanai to enjoy the sunrise & rain showers. Very quiet at night. Bonus coffee shop right on the property.
The window over the bed allows you to see a zillion stars at night. Absolutely beautiful because there is no light pollution. Also, the shower is great!
The place itself was nice over all. But it didn't have any AC so be ready for hot days! Also the place is at least 2 hours from any activities or popular towns. So this place wasn't for us. It would be nice for someone who would want to stay here all day and just relax. There's hardly any noice other than mother nature but like I said be prepared for hot days.
We loved this place. It was quiet and had a nice jungle feel, it was a nice contrast to the bustling resorts we stayed in at Kaanapali and Kihei. The cats are super friendly. The spiders didn't LOOK friendly but they at least left us alone and I imagine they cut down on the mosquitos so I'll give them a pass, haha.
The location is about a long winding 30+ minute drive to Hana. It is not in or close to Hana or anything.
The restaurant they advertise for coffee, smoothies & food is closed.
There is no cell phone connectivity. The water for the house is catchment so use needs to be very limited. The water can not be consumed. There is a water in a cooler on the deck & some bottled water.
The emails I received regarding limiting my use of the internet were quite unplesant and also the warnings about exceeing the number if visitors (not to exceed 3) was extreme.
The house is fine inside and well equipped but there are 20 steps to the front (only) door.
The roof over the deck leaks, there is a bit of deck rot in a few boards and portions of the deck railings are rotten.
The grounds are amazing with exceptional tropical flowers.
The sense of isolation was uncomfortable with the road close enough to see the lights in the house at night. The open walls if the reastaurant on the roadside below the house that anyone could access and absolutely no one around and no contact from the owners felt uncomfortable and pitentially unsafe. On day 4 - 2 workers showed up. One to garden, the other was looking at the restaurant.
The advertising needs to be more accurate. People depend on cell phones, availibility of food and a sense of security.
What an gorgeous location, property and home. We loved the peace and beauty and it was a perfect for our honeymoon. Absolutely amazing
Our stay in the rainforest cottage was amazing! It is not luxurious but it was just what we had hoped for and more. Most importantly the bed was comfortable but a close second was the awesome views while relaxing on the lanai. The cottage was spacious for just my husband and I. It has a nice little kitchen, comfortable living area, clean and spacious bathroom, laundry facilities and my favorite, lanai with table and 2 loungers. The fresh flowers, fruit bowl and banana bread made us feel welcome and were much appreciated.
The location is perfect for enjoying the gems of the Hana Highway before the crowds arrive.
It fulfilled a Bucket List wish and I highly recommend for a more leisurely experience in the Hana area.
