Neighborhood description:
Tucked away at approximately 1,500 ft in elevation, just outside of the little village and art enclave in the heart of Kona coffee country, sits Hale Ka Nui; our quiet and tranquil 3 bedroom Artist Coffee Cottage. Visit our charming town of Holualoa and discover local artwork including paintings, ceramic sculptures and handcrafted woodwork. To experience the best of both worlds, visit during the annual Holualoa Village Coffee & Art Stroll in November. Taste exotic Kona coffee blends while you shop for handcrafted goods and meet local farmers and artists. Then make room in your suitcase to take home a bag of Holualoa’s best beans for your trip home. Be sure to check out First Fridays (the first Friday of each month), for a fun evening of live music, shopping and food trucks. A Brief History of Holualoa The origins of Holualoa as an established center begins with the fertile soil and high amounts of rainfall that made agriculture a valuable industry in the area. Coffee, something that Holualoa is well-known for, was first planted in 1828 and remained one of the town’s industries. Beyond coffee, fields of sugar cane were also planted in Holualoa.

Standouts include Dovetail Gallery, Studio 7 Fine Arts, and Glyph Art Gallery.

The visitors can play a few bars, chat with the owner and maybe even participate in a ukulele – building workshop. Beyond the town center are many small farms, nestled on the slopes of Mount Hualalai. Many of these small farms would be happy to have you and your family along for a tour to explore the process of farming on the Big Island or how coffee is farmed and roasted, a real farm-to-cup experience!
