Eco-Cottage on Organic Farm, Big Island - Kona
Submitted: May 14, 2013

This eco-cottage was amazing! It was clean, inviting, and very cozy. Nikki was so friendly and made us feel right at home. Surrounded by lush macadamia nut trees, organic fruits and vegetables, beautiful flowers, and lot's of friendly animals - this was truly a wonderful weekend getaway for us nature-lovers. Added bonus: we had the best night sleep in years! Seriously, the peaceful silence of this nestled Captain Cook property offered us a long lasting serenity (much needed for us Oahu folk). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone looking to get out of the hustle and bustle of Kona.

Eco-Cottage on Organic Farm? Yes please!!

What a wonderful place to start our vacation! Our host greeted us warmly and introduced us to the property with a welcoming tour. The property has a wonderful garden where we purchased fresh veggies for the next days meal. Chickens also provided delicious eggs - thank you ladies!! The outdoor toilet and shower had plenty of hot water with beautiful stonework and plenty of privacy. Ample blankets, lighting and security. If you're used to cushy, urban accommodations this is not the place for you. If you're looking for something less main stream with wonderful hospitality and good vibes then stay here! You won't be disappointed.

We loved it. Its got a beautiful outdoor shower, its awesome! And the farm has a dayspa and Nicki offers snorkeling and dolphin swims. We ordered a farm food basket; fresh kale, avocados, papayas, eggs, bananas, and more! Everything you need. The room was very comfortable, we expected it to be rustic, but it was more comfortable than we imagined. For the price, you can't believe how perfect it is!

We enjoyed the EcoCottage so much for 3 days, it was exactly what we were looking for. Comfortable, beautiful scenery, our own private spot, fresh produce, outdoor kitchen so that we could do our own food, and awesome beaches very close to visit! Be sure to take advantage of the snorkel and beach gear that you can rent from Nikki. My favorite parts were the peaceful mornings, avocados from the grove, and the gorgeous outdoor shower. It was a great alternative to busy Kona that allowed us to explore the island, and at a great price. We would definitely come again and I highly recommend it.

We had a great stay. The outdoor kitchen was well stocked and exactly what we were looking for. This is a great middle ground between camping and luxury. If you're expecting a comprehensive resort, this is not the best choice, but if you're looking for a nice get- away and an attentive host, this is perfect. Close to green and black sand beaches and Volcano National Park. Great for lovers of local foods and eco-conscious travelers

Farm Stay

We enjoyed staying at PapaLani on our recent trip to the Big Island. We were interested in staying on a Permaculture farm away from the resort action. The cottage was clean and simple with a kitchen that was fine for us to prepare simple meals. The outside living areas were comfortable during the day, but chilly during the January evenings and early mornings. We enjoyed going snorkeling at Pu'uhonua o Honaunau which was 20 minutes away and also sea kayaking at Miloli'i Beach. We appreciated all of the effort Nikki put into making our stay comfortable. She was a gracious host and is a lovely person who we hope to meet again. We would recommend PapaLani for those interested in a more eco-friendly way to visit the Big Island

A wonderful Eco-cottage
Submitted: March 6, 2013

A fresh, close-to-nature place for an out-of-the-ordinary vacation. Fresh air - a large hillside farm, fresh vegetables, fruits straight from the farm, – avocado, macadamia nuts etc. Fresh eggs – seven hens walking around you… The owner is a very helpful person. You get a very detailed instruction to find the place, so even though we arrived in midnight the place was easy to find. An hour drive from the airport. She has a menu for local farm products, massage, and all the information on the island you need. Good access to the national volcano park from the south side of the island. Outdoor shower is really fantastic and its works well. Such a wonderful Eco-cottage!

Due to scheduling conflicts, we stayed first in the Eco cottage and then the main house at Papalani. We adored both! The eco cottage is darling, spotless and cozy. I loved the open air kitchen. Nikki even had some Kona coffee for us! The composting toilet is clean and a real work of art with bamboo siding and beautiful native stone work. Plenty of space for two couples or a family. The grounds of Nikki's place are amazing: Fresh fruit and vegetables right out your front door. We cracked our own Mac nuts, had fresh eggs from the very friendly chickens, papayas and avocados off the trees, organic vegetables and lettuce from the garden. Truly a little bit of Hawaiian heaven! I have already recommended this place to friends. Book early because it fills quickly! If you are looking for an authentic introduction to Hawaiian life, this is the place. Nikki is a delightful, warm, loving and concerned host. She does everything in her power to make your visit with her, and the entire Island, as memorable as possible.

We stayed at three different locations on the island during our stay and this was our hands-down favorite! I even changed our other reservations around to sneak in an extra day here. This cottage is neat and tidy and has everything for simple physical comforts. We loved the outdoor shower especially. The outdoor kitchen is set up with everything you would need to fix your meals. Bed was very comfortable. Nikki, the owner, is accomodating, helpful, and nearby if you need her while also allowing for the cottage to feel quite private too. There are some lovely and uncrowded beaches nearby to explore. Mornings on the lanai with the feathered and furred residents wandering about (chickens, Bubba and Sweet Pea) and the sun filtering through the macnut trees made some precious memories for us to keep with us forever. If you are looking for some true aloha spirit and a peaceful stay, this is the place. I would book the Eco-Cottage again in a heartbeat.

Nikki has done such a nice job with this place. It's really clean, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and well-equipped. It's not a luxury hotel, but personally I'd rather stay here than in a luxury hotel. Beds are comfy, lanai is great, and you can cook up whatever you like in the very pleasant outdoor kitchen. Plus it's nice wandering around the farm and chatting with Nikki (and being able to buy eggs and veggies out of her organic garden). Plus it's close to some great snorkeling!
