David and Michael have created an incredibly special place on the side of the mountain where they grow avocadoes south of Captain Cook. Local artist Herb Kane's home has been transformed into a retreat for the body, mind and soul without any awkward "new-aginess" about it. Everyone is vaccinated and careful about distancing. The attention to every single minute detail is astounding: fresh flowers everywhere every day, immaculate cleaning procedures, and endless comforts from gourmet breakfast to artistic surroundings, large indoor and outdoor spaces for each unit. calming and expansive views, drinks, snacks, refrigerator, and the overwhelming sense of welcome. They treat their guests as potential friends and are intentionally kind and generous. Their small team of helpers are equally engaging. It was our privilege to stay with them again.

My wife, Susan, and I had the distinct pleasure of staying at the Kane Plantation Guest House. The only way it could have been more enjoyable would have been to stay longer - much longer. We stayed in the Kanaloa Suite. The furnishings, the views, the overall structure itself took our breath away. We had actually planned to go "out and about" on our last day in Hawaii, but instead we chose to wander the avocado farm, read books on our beautiful lanai (complete with hammock), admire the artwork, mostly by the previous owner, Herb Kane, and read about the rich history of the early Hawaiians. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the outdoor shower, complete with deluxe toiletries was a delight. There were fresh flowers and chocolates that magically appeared each day, as well. Now, for breakfast! The array of food, locally sourced, included cereals, fruits, cheeses, pastries, and jams/honey, served with a fresh fruit smoothie. Then, breakfast was served!!! The last breakfast we had was eggs Benedict on an English muffin with bacon and topped with avocado Hollandaise, something David created that morning. Coffee - French press! The screened dining area looked out over the farm, with gorgeous views of the ocean and Kealakekua Bay (do not miss a snorkel trip on the Fairwinds II to this location). Michael, David, Cal, and Jim were the perfect hosts - attention to detail, helpful, and friendly. Susan and I have traveled all over the world, from France to Fiji, and we have stayed in many places. This is the BEST. We will be back!!!

My only regret is not staying here longer! This place is truly magical. The room had beautiful artwork, lots of space, and an amazing lanai looking out to the ocean. The hosts had so many great touches throughout our stay like luxurious bath products, robes, and slippers! They gave us a fruit bowl, snacks, and plenty of sparkling and still water in the suite. The breakfast portion was very tasty, healthy, and extravagant also. My partner and I were able to take a dip in their awesome jacuzzi and utilize their easy to use sauna. We also were able to walk around the avocado trees they have and watch all of the amazing birds among the property. They even have a bird feeder by the lanai to see the birds at. Oh and the outdoor shower was lovely! The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. The only tip to be aware of is that the road is a bit bumpy up to the location. I definitely wanted to be home by dark to avoid this. Oh and there was a loud rooster in the morning, but it didn't bother me too much as these are the beautiful sounds of being on a farm. This place was reasonably priced for the amazing luxury you get staying here. So glad we stayed here and we will be back!
