Book Papa hotels

This place is for the adventurer at heart. If you can’t handle cabin like conditions…interfacing with the wild & the noise displayed by the night critters & beautiful birds singing their hearts away early morning, this is not for you! We even had a gecko that would pop in to have breakfast with us…he loved jelly! The host & staff are very friendly & put out an organic spread for breakfast to start your day. It’s pretty remote out there, but there is an amazing place called the coffee shack a few miles away that has excellent lattes & an amazing menu. It’s very busy, but worth the wait. We rented a 4x4 jeep & went off roading & it was a magnificent experience. Made it out to the Green Beach which was absolutely worth the rough ride.

Beautiful!

Beautiful and peaceful stay! The house was clean, well-equipped, and had stunning mountain and shoreline views. Breakfast was delicious every day, and the host was very friendly. Just a heads-up — finding the road to the hotel took a bit of time, but everything else was perfect!

It's a beautiful & comfortable house-photos accurate. The drive down is a bit nerve racking if you're a flat lander, but it gets easier the more trips you take. There are many spices & condiments in kitchen. Stop first to see what you may need, then grab a cooler off the deck and head to Ocean view for groceries. Driving everywhere didn't seem too far-it is so scenic. We watched the sunset from the pool every night-glorious!

This house is exactly as described. Room for 8 (if 2 are thin and short or are children). The host is very communicative and helpful. The check in and check out process is very easy. There are games in the basement and the host has a whole shed of snorkels, fins, chairs, beach equipment, etc. Really great if you've come from far and obviously couldn't pack your own.Why this house might not be for you: it is rural. If you want to go to Kona it's 1 to 1 1/2 hours away. Volcanoes NPS is about 2 hours away. If you are looking for restaurants or activities, you will be doing a lot of driving. Except for a few beaches, most of them are a drive too because you're on a mountain...it's a slow, curvy ride everywhere.If you are a nervous driver or get carsick, this is not for you. The road is steeped and very curvy. My family doesn't get sick...until our last day. But it was fun to see the mongooses and wild pigs in the road. If you like long, hot showers, this is not for you. There is little water in this area...you can't drill a well into volcanic rock and there's no public water. So you are taking short showers as the host requests. Also, I don't think I ever had a HOT shower. Even if I insisted on taking a 2-minute shower before my kids, the water would get warm (I always describe it as "llama spit") but never hot.

Wonderful hospitality and great clean accommodation with good amenities. We could have spent all day just sitting on the deck with the fabulous views and listening to the glorious birdsong and nature all around us. There is comfortable indoor seating and TV but we never used it as sitting on the Lanai was so lovely. Don’t worry about aircon as there was always a cool breeze and we never even put the fan on. Heather and Adam have thought of everything from beach chairs, binoculars and cool bags etc. I like to be honest and helpful so - if you love nature you will absolutely love it here but you will be awoken early with the sounds of cockerels and dogs. For us the benefits far far outweighed anything and nothing ear plugs couldn’t sort. Thank you Heather
