This property is lovely, from the home to the setting, from the sassy pony and goats to the incredible hosts Chris and Carol. Pictures simply don't do it justice, nor do all the rave reviews. It's simply perfect.
The home is beautiful, and the second you walk in, you feel at home, not like a guest trespassing in someone else's house. Sitting on the porch and looking across the channel was such a pleasure that it made it hard to leave to go explore other parts of the island! As the sun sets and the stars come out, you feel like you can see every star in the sky all at once. And in the morning, after a quick rain shower, beautiful rainbows come out, and I swear the animals know this and pose under them so you can take a picture!
I can't stress enough how kind, lovely and welcoming the hosts are; in fact, they are one of the best parts of staying here!
Kohala Lodge is a place you want to rate as the best of the best and shout how awesome it is from the rooftops, but you also don't want to leave a review for because you want it to remain your special secret! My highest praise is that I would come back here again and again, and each time I wouldn't want to leave. We came in during our second week on the island, and thought we were already relaxed, but by the end of our first day at the Lodge, we truly were. It's got the magic power to help you totally unwind and find joy in your surroundings.
Thanks for a lovely week and memories that we'll carry with us. We'll be back soon!
