"It was a lovely stay. My family and I enjoyed the amenities. The house was stocked with extra supplies from soap, sunscreen, toothbrushes, and toys for the pool. Such a peaceful and relaxing neighborhood. The yard was well kept and perfect to walk around first thing in the morning. We will stay here again. Thank you for opening your house to us. "
"Great house and probably the most amazing views in all the Hawaiian islands. Cemille was a great host and highly recommend this property. Cannot wait to go back again! "
"Kikala Waterfall Lodge is a unique experience. Nature is your lullaby. We fell asleep to the sound of flowing water, croaking frogs, and the birds chirping. The rain shower added to the experience. The cabin was clean. The lodge had all you would need -kitchen, bathroom with shower, a living space with couch and chairs.
We enjoyed the easy hike to the waterfall and opted not to swim due to cloud cover.
The grounds have all you except to see in a Hawaiian rainforest.
It is not your traditional hotel experience, but a step into Hawaiian life."
Serene, Restored House from Sugar Days with Sweeping Ocean Views
10/10 Excellent
"We had a relaxing stay at the View House. It's located close to Honoka'a to get goods, if needed, and also convenient to explore Waipi'o Valley. The house and grounds are as advertised. We took advantage of all of the fresh fruit available. Lots of orange juice and lemonade during our stay! The breeeze coming off the ocean is lovely. "
Enjoy a trip to Waipio Na'alapa Trail and popular activities like snorkeling in Waimea. Stroll along the beautiful beaches in this relaxing area, or check out its top-notch restaurants.
