After a deluxe week at Hilton in Waikoloa, the lovely Ho’okena Country House charmed us all with its rural setting, historic nature and creature comforts. Airy, spacious, comfortable and excellently equipped, the house is set amongst heavenly-scented flowering trees with views of the Pacific from the enormous paved terrace surrounding the pool and hot tub. We explored the southern half of Hawaii - Volcanoes Nat. Park, South Point (southernmost area of the USA), the Ho’okena Beach, Hala Tree coffee farm, Paradise Valley macadamia, coffee and chocolate farm, the Place of Refuge and the Island Breeze Luau in Kona. A great holiday venue for family and/or friends!
