Wai Mana farm is located in the neighborhood of Seaview, a friendly, safe, eclectic and fun-loving tropical community off of the scenic Red Road. There are two parks, and a performing arts center for education in the neighborhood. While a local bus stop is only two blocks away, a car is generally recommended to get around easily on the Big Island. Biking along the world famous coastal Red Road is a must.

This is a lovely, yet small scale permaculture property. We feel there are acceptable levels of visual and sound privacy, but do note that the units are close together, and sound can travel. While each of our guest units are private + self-contained, you may see/hear other guests/staff on different parts of the farm during your stay. We are a community + let's make friends. Your kitchen is stocked with these items: First morning's fair trade organic coffee, farm-harvested honey, organic coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, hawaiian sea salt, organic black pepper, teas, farm produce + farm eggs when available. Cooking equipment includes coffee grinder, french press, citrus juicer, variety of pots and pans, cooking/serving utensils, kettle, blender, to go containers, plastic wrap and tin foil, and baking pans/dishes. Please know that this rental is in a jungle environment and although we do our best to keep harmless pests under control, like geckos, ants and flying bugs, they are here and there may be occasional sightings. The historical plantation town of Pahoa is a 20 minute drive away from Seaview. It offers stores and is home to some great foodie spots and affordable farmer's markets with fresh local produce. We are located four miles from Uncle Robert's Awa Bar, which has a morning Saturday market on Saturdays (8am – 1pm), which has great food and local craft vendors. A small corner store Kaimu Corner with an ATM is also accessible at Uncle Robert's for basic necessities. We are remotely located 3 hours from the Kona (KOA) airport, and 1 hour from the Hilo airport (ITO), on the Big Island of Hawaii. Our internet is great for emails + texts and general surfing - we have had many digital nomads working successfully from their unit, but best if only one unit is streaming videos at a time.
