Property Description
Aloha! The Ohana Hale at Kahua Ranch is located in the Kohala Mountains on the stunning, privately owned, 4000 acre Kahua Ranch. We are a working ranch with sheep, cattle and horses and one adorable pig. Breathe in some of the world's freshest, crisp, clean air that travels 2500 miles across the ocean and is filtered down through our lush rain forest.
Conveniently located between the beautiful ranching town of Waimea (Kamuela) and historic Hawi town with it's dining, gift shops, art galleries, and coffee house; the views from the Ranch grounds are unparalleled!
Perfect for vacation/family getaways, or just local holo holo ( go on adventures); the Hale has 2 bedrooms, a queen master suite with it's own flat screen TV and a second surf themed bedroom with a pilowtop full size bed, both have spacious closets. A pillowtop punee' (twin size) located in the living room sleeps a fifth person if needed. The Hale has one full bathroom, a completely stocked kitchen which includes a jumbo microwave, countertop oven, full stove, dishwasher and refrigerator. Soft, organic cotton sheets, plush bedding and ample towels are provided. Amazon Fire TV, on the flat screen and blazing fast Internet is provided. There are dedicated laundry facilities (washer and dryer) within the Ohana with detergent.
A new sun deck with a new BBQ grill fronts the Hale under the pines with PASTURE AND MOUNTAIN VIEWS.
The Ohana Hale is new carriage house construction with all the modern conveniences, located just adjacent to the Ranch Retreat at Kahua.
This Ohana was built for friends and family and there are no full ocean views from within the house or the price would reflect this! Guests are able to stroll on property to unparalleled views steps away for stargazing and inspiration. We have been able to keep our prices affordable for return and long term guests year after year :)
The best of the Big Island’s beaches (Hapuna, Mauna Kea) are a short 20-30 (depending on traffic) minutes drive South- and a cooler, chairs boogie boards and large beach towels are also provided for fun in the sun. Snorkling, diving and swimming in Hawaii’s crystal clear waters are a short drive to the Kohala Coast as well as other water activities are available at Kawaihae Harbor (20 min drive).
If hiking and strolling is your preference, the black sand beach at Pololu Valley is 30 minutes away, through the town of Hawi as well as many other neighboring trails.
Waimea has three Farmer’s Markets that take place throughout the week and weekend, and Hawi has the Kohala’s Farmers Market, perfect for the Farm to Table experience with Hawaii’s local produce.
Horseback Riding and a fantastic BBQ Ranch dinner are also available at Kahua Ranch — discounts available at the stable when booking in advance and staying at the Ohana Hale.

We really enjoyed our short 2-night stay at the ranch. Terri was super communicative and available for any issues we had. The ranch grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed some evening stargazing while we were there. Would highly recommend.

Although the original plan was to stay a second time, plans change. Terri was as graceful as the first time, and worked with the situation for everybody involved. I will continue to appreciate hosts like this. Above and beyond!

A ranch amongst the clouds with most spectacular dawn and sunsets. Take some time to walk on the road and say good morning to the horses, cows and sheep. Playful birds and a musical breeze through the pine trees. Itʻs an oasis.

This mountain ranch unit was a special experience. Great place to get away and relax yet only about 20 minutes from other activities we wanted to do. Close to Waimea and coastline on west side of island. Great hosts.

The house is spacious and contains plenty of amenities. The property manager was exactly the right level of friendly and helpful, but not overbearing or intrusive. The ranch where the house is located is expansive, and if we had a longer stay we surely would have explored more of it. Fantastic property, fantastic property manager, and fantastic experience overall.

Communication with the host was easy. She sent clear instructions. Check in was a breeze. The place was spotless. The kitchen was well appointed. The view was everything! The sunsets seem to last for hours. It’s a short drive to Waimea town and Hāpuna Beach, which are our favorites. I only wish we had more time here!

We absolutely love staying at the ranch. Terri and Tim are lovely hosts and I have never slept so well in my life. It is so peaceful and quiet and dark at night. You can walk about three minutes away to see incredible sunsets and vistas. It’s worth the beautiful extra drive versus staying closer in
