About this property

Rustic retreat with panoramic views at Pu'u O Hoku Ranch

Pu'u O Hoku Ranch offers a unique getaway for travelers seeking a rustic retreat. You can hike, swim, stargaze, and see a working ranch in action. Pu'u O Hoku is one of the few places in the islands where you can feel Hawaii as it once was. The Sunrise cottage is just a short drive from the black-sand beaches of Halawa Valley.

On the hill above the bustle of the ranch, surrounded by tropical gardens, with panoramic windows offering views over the bluffs to the ocean, the Sunrise Cottage is perfect for romantic getaways or small groups. Master bedroom with a queen bed, second bedroom with two twins, spacious living and dining room, fully-equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, and a shaded lanai.

The Sunrise cottage was built in the 1930s in a classic Hawaiian ranch style, furnished with Balinese and Hawaiian wood and textiles. The cottage is off the grid and runs on renewable energy, the water onsite is from our well.

We can also deliver fresh biodynamic and organic produce as well as fresh beef and venison to your cottage for you to cook during your stay!

The Sunrise Cottage, and indeed the entire Pu'u o Hoku Ranch is a hidden gem. We may be biased since we held our wedding celebration here back in 2016, but to return ten years later and find it even more lovely was a delight. Molokai isn't for everyone, but to those drawn to it a wonderful adventure awaits. We'll return as often as they'll have us. Mahalo to all those who made our stay so wonderful.

Lovely Long Weekend

It's the perfect place to get away for some pleasant cabin weather for books, board games, and yard games with the family. Our daughters (6 & 7) had a great time with the garden tour and horseback riding, and Halawa beach is a short drive away.

Beautiful Relaxing Stay

We had a lovely time relaxing in and around the property. It wasn’t at all inconvenient to explore Molokai from the ranch and we loved the winding road along the coast. The rustic elegance of the Sunrise Cottage was perfect and the addition of fresh vegetables, ground venison, and ripe bananas made the cottage feel just like home. It was a beautiful relaxing stay for us. Mahalo for your hospitality.

Magical Time Away

The sunrise cabin was everything we wanted when we disconnected from work. Everything from the location, beautiful scenery, comfy bed, great meat and produce from the host … we could have asked for a more perfect vacation. 10/10 would stay here again!

Absolutely top notch property. Exceptional Art & furnishings. The horseback tour was excellent with Buszy & Kaweki with a nice waterfall view from an excellent horse instructor Sarah. The hospitality crew of Nani & Lauren keep us informed from the booking and was able to accommodate our plant based diet. The views of the sacred kukui forest to the vast ocean views and the amazing sunrises. We will be back 100.

Outstanding retreat

My wife and i spent 4 nights/5 days here and absolutely loved it. Hit a local grocery store on the way in and you really never need to leave this wonderful little bungalow, other than to pick up some dried apple bananas and other snacks at the nearby ranch store. Everyone was incredibly friendly and we had 4 of the most incredible sunrises! Take a nice book or two and some hiking shoes and escape the rat race with this beautiful slice of old Hawaii! Can’t wait to go back!

From the moment we booked, Nani had our back, answering every question with patience and making sure we were completely taken care of.We came out for a hunt, and that’s where the magic really kicked in. Josiah and Baeo were outstanding guides. Professional, knowledgeable, and funny enough to keep us laughing even while hiking through the brush. They turned the experience into more than just a hunt, it felt like an adventure with old friends.Between the stunning views, the peaceful gardens, and the nonstop good vibes, this place is something special. We already know one thing for sure: we’ll be back for round two.

We loved our 5-day stay at the cottage. The bag of fresh vegetables and fruit from the garden that we discovered in the kitchen when we arrived was a wonderful surprise. Beautiful location. Interesting garden tour.
