Two-house deluxe complex with 8 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms situated on a 3-acre botanical garden with over 30 different types of exotic fruit trees and several hundred botanicals including many rare palms and other species—many labeled with their botanical names. **Additional Important Information: Due to a Hawaii County Proclamation, we are currently required to drive our guests in and out of the Valley. Only guests with a valid Hawaii State driver's license may drive into Waipio Valley. Situated in historic Waipio Valley, this unique property is known as “the place of first light” ka’o and provides unparalleled access to “The Valley of the Kings”. The breathtaking landscape of the lush valley walls, traditional taro patches, palm and fruit trees, exotic fragrant flowers, and giant Monkey Pod trees transports you into another world. Walk two minutes to a sacred waterfall and bathe in its cool waters or stroll down an enchanting jungle canopy path to a secluded black sand beach. Or explore our dense botanical garden filled with unusual and exotic species and learn while having fun— our plant labels and descriptions will help you identify local and international botanicals. It’s all here for you and much more! Enjoy all the comforts of home while surrounded by paradise in over 5000 sq. ft. of custom living space—with bamboo hardwood and natural slate floors, travertine bathrooms, granite counters, teak furniture, and our exotic lava-rock bath house—fully off-grid and fed by a waterfall. The two houses are connected by a breezeway that provides unusual privacy between the master suite in the lower house and the 6 bedrooms in the upper house making it ideal for two separate families vacationing together, or just great separation for members of the group. Screened lanais and decks allow gentle Pacific breezes to pass through the houses while enjoying incredible views from the expansive bay windows and numerous skylights. Fabulous for star-gazing and bird watching, numerous streams and rivers run through the valley and create an unparalleled tropical adventure! Our private guide will escort you into the valley and provide personalized insights into the rich history and lore of the valley and its traditions as well as the varied plant and animal life.

(The County is intermittently scheduling road maintenance improvements and will close the Waipio access road from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm so during those phases of road improvements we will need to shuttle our guests before or after their work hours.) To honor this County rule, we are currently shuttling our guests in and out of the valley until the Waipio Valley road improvements and repairs are complete. We have a 4wd Valley truck that can shuttle 4 guests at a time. The first in and out shuttle of up to 4 guests is free of charge. Any additional shuttles are priced at $200 per in and out shuttle. *** Please calculate the additional shuttle fees according to the number of guests you book. We will add the additional shuttle charges after your reservation is confirmed. We understand that many of our guests may want to make day trips out of the Valley to explore other parts of the island. We ask that you please plan ahead and schedule any day trips out with Kristi and Sukumar in advance to ensure availability.    Thank you for your understanding! We look forward to having you as our guests! We are always a phone call, text or email away should you have any questions or needs. Please feel free to contact us anytime. Currently we are exclusively shuttling our guests in and out of the Valley until the County road repairs and improvements are completed.
