Waipio Valley Two house botanical garden complex/ A slice of Historic Paradise

Arriving near dark was an experience, but after settling in to this stunning setting our extended family had a memorable, fantastic stay in the Waipio Valley. Our group ranged from my 90 year old mother to teenage nephews who enjoyed the nearby waterfalls, walking to the black sand beach, hiking toward the Waimanu Valley and enjoying the fruits of the property. And thank you to Kristi and Sukumar for their attentiveness during our stay. We would love to come back.

This house is deep in Waipio Valley, providing you with a super unique experience of being away from everyone and spending time in a special place.

The house was beautiful as well as the grounds. The walk to the beach was more of a hike, so prepare accordingly. The waterfalls were awesome and wish we’d headed there sooner!

No light pollution back here, so be sure to stay up for the stars!

Check in and out was smooth, and communication was great. Our group of 9 was very pleased with our stay.

My family and I (13 of us in total) every age group from toddler to great grandma loved every bit of this stay. Secluded and beautiful. Our babies got sick and our hosts Brough is the medicine we needed ASAP. We were very well taken care of and look forward to returning again someday. Thank you for a memorable time that will never be forgotten.

Waipio Valley is one of the most beautiful, magical places in the world--and I've seen a lot of nice places. I've been coming to Waipio since 1982, and until now there haven't been any but the most basic accommodations for visitors. What an awesome new lodging this place is! It's amazing! The house is comfortable and functional considering how far off the grid it is. It has plentiful water, power and internet. The kitchen & dining areas are great, beds are comfy, art is good, and the bathrooms are spotless. Sukumar and Kristi maintain it so well, and are beyond helpful. The grounds are nicer than most botanical gardens, with abundant fruit and flowers everywhere (planted years ago by a professor of botany from UH Hilo). It is *really* remote (No rental cars can make it, Sukumar will drive you in his 4WD truck), so you have to buy all your groceries in advance. However, it is all of 2 minutes walk to the big falls, and maybe 30 minutes to the beach. We used it as a base for the hike to Waimanu. The price may seem a bit steep, but keeping a place like this up in Waipio is wicked expensive, and renting it is absolutely worth it for anyone who loves adventure travel.

We stayed on site for 6 nights. The couple that plays host and sets you up is so nice. The path to the beach is a little touch and go, but so beautiful, unique and convenient. The screened in porch is great as is the lava stone custom bathroom and lofted bedrooms. We enjoyed music in the kitchen dining area and the gardens/orchard surrounding. A truly one of a kind stay.
