We have several rescued cats, some of whom will welcome you home. A few of them really love children and are very friendly and gentle.

They are only out with our direct supervision, usually when guests are out adventuring.
Please NO SMOKING, NO VAPING, NO BURNING OF ANY KIND inside the cottage or anywhere on the property.
We are trying to minimize our carbon footprint, so please compost all kitchen waste, reuse towels as much as possible and turn off lights and appliances when not in use.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH WATER USAGE. We have water catchment and are completely dependent on rainfall. The water is fully filtered and UV’d so it is safe to drink. Also, we are saving up for a complete solar system- you can help us get there faster by being careful with our resources. Mahalo nui loa!!!!!
This whole property is yours to enjoy ...one acre of fruiting trees, garden and the cottage. We are in a tiny house below your cottage. Our caretaker, Mili, lives in the ohana, for a total of 3 tiny houses on site. We are working on planting more fruit trees and making a bigger garden. Jason, my Fijian husband, loves to chat and share his Fijian cooking with you, if you’re interested.
PLEASE check with me before having other people visit the property.
I am available 24 hours a day by phone/text. Text is best for me!! I am a nurse and work crazy hours and sleep crazy hours. I will answer emails and texts as soon as possible. Mili, our on-site caretaker is available almost 24/7, but you will hardly know she is there.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches throughout the space that make it feel like a true home away from home. Whether you’re unwinding inside or exploring nearby, this excellent cottage provides a peaceful retreat. We hope you enjoy what our place and Keaau has to offer.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
