  • I've been to the Big Island maybe 20 times for work and for pleasure, and the Puakea Ranch property was my best experience by far. I've stayed at a number of the resorts, which have their own advantages, but if you want a totally relaxing, beautiful and private getaway, and authentic experience, you will not do better than this. We stayed at the smaller cottage, and since the larger one was unoccupied during our stay, we literally had the whole ranch to ourselves -- including dogs and horses, which was wonderful. It was Stef's fist time in Hawaii and she will forever be spoiled. The location is my favorite part of the island - close to Hawi, Waimea, and the beaches at Kohala. The setting is unspoiled, quiet, and gorgeous. This place does not feel like the typical, overly-foofy B&B or self-conscious, phony cottage -- both cottages are understated, tasteful, and luxurious, with a feeling of history and authenticity. The bedding is fabulous, the views are tremendous, and what can beat having your own pool? This will be a regular stay for us.

  • We stayed at the smaller of the two cottages May 29 - 31, and for me, it was my first time in Hawai'i. I have to say, it has completely spoiled me, as we went straight from Kona to the cottage. I can't imagine there's a nicer place to stay on the island. The town is quaint and quiet, the cottages are beautiful down to the smallest details, and the owner made sure all of our needs were met. The air up in Hawi was totally clear when we were there as well--I guess that's another advantage of being on the northern tip of the island. I'd love to make our visit an annual tradition!

  • My husband and I stayed at the ranch for the 1st half of our trip. It was unbelievable. The Bunglaow is AMAZING! The decor is the perfect mix of hawaii and luxury. The sheets on the bed are so comfortable and luxurious. The setting was stunning. We woke up every morning with cows and horses in our front yard and the view of the ocean. The japanese soaking tub was one of my favorites! The town of Hawi, is the cutest town, which is about 5 min away. They have great restaurants in Hawi and it's so close to the ranch. We were really sad to leave the ranch, but excited to get to our next destination, The Four Seasons. I have to say that the accomadotions were much better at the Ranch. The bed linens were much better at the ranch and the food at the Four seasons was not as good as the restaurants we went to in Hawi. Overall our experience at the ranch was FANTASTIC and we can't wait to go back!

  • My wife and I had the fabulous experience of staying at "Yoshi's House", the larger bungalow at the Puakea Ranch. It was INCREDIBLE! We never felt like TOURISTS, it made us feel as though we were really experiencing the true "native" way of Hawaii, in great style. The house was so well appointed, the views incredible, the activities so close by, the main bath was like nothing we had seen before, so cool and gorgeous. There is not enough room to write how lovely and romantic this was for us! It was a once in a lifetime experience, we hope to do it again as soon as possible. Everything was fabulous. Mahalo!

  • We just finished a wonderful, relaxing stay at the bungalow. Three things stick in my mind. Spending much lazy time in the dipping pool watching the ocean. Seeing and hearing the cows, including having a calf run up in the yard. And, the unique wooden bath tub in the bath house. Great accommodations and lots of privacy. Would stay again in a heart beat.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    I hope you two will be back to visit us again soon! Thank you so much for your feedback. Aloha

  • We loved our stay at Pukea Ranch and would recommend it to anyone. It is a very lovely cottage renovated with such style and taste. Our two girls (ages 6 and 9) enjoyed the pool tremendously. And the views are fabulous. Thank you, The Alperovich Family
