Waimanalo Farmstay

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents5 acres · Kailua, HI
This is a breathtaking space that our family has poured many decades and multiple generations into. We are surrounded by jungle, with a freshwater stream running through the entire property and unobstructed mountain views. If you’re especially sensitive to mosquitos, bugs, geckos, free roaming chickens or other elements to be expected in nature, this might not be the place for you. Waimanalo is a small agricultural town filled with nurseries, horse stables, and a high concentration of Hawaiian homes. It remains mostly undeveloped and authentic, and we aim to keep it that way. Outsiders do not often get the opportunity to stay back here, but we welcome respectful travelers looking for an authentic experience who can appreciate this privilege. While nestled against the mountains, we're just a five minute drive from the beach. We are fifteen minutes from Kailua town, where you'll find several grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. This is a working farm. While we are very hospitable, we are not in the business of hospitality. I am happy to accommodate travelers, but I am not here at your beck and call. If that is the experience you are seeking, I think you would be happier elsewhere. We appreciate all of your bookings, and profits go directly back into farm infrastructure and new fruit trees. Thank you for looking!

Beautiful And Peaceful Farm Cabinas

3 sites · Lodging5 acres · Waialua, HI
Our sweet permaculture syntropic teaching farm has gorgeous mountain views and open space, feeling like you are away from it all but still just minutes from Haleiwa town and the incredible beaches of the north shore. The cabina we have created is a tiny oasis of calm, designed so you can feel like you're outside with big windows and lots of light while sleeping on a super comfy bed with soft hotel sheets. Sleeps 1-2 people with space for your stuff and a small deck to sip morning coffee and watch the birds in our beautiful fruit orchard. There is a shared common area with a glamping style kitchen, living room and outdoor seating area. Outdoor hot and cold shower and an off-grid incinerator toilet. These common spaces will be shared with 1-4 others depending on who is working at the farm at any time. Our farm is for people who love nature and live a relaxed, healthy lifestyle. It is a sacred and special place that we steward with deep love and care. No parties or late night loud noise. Come here to unwind, slow down, watch sunrise and sunset and let your nervous system reset. Nearby beaches in Haleiwa, Mokuleia, Waimea Bay and Sunset beach are great for swimming or snorkeling in summer and incredible world-class surf in the winter. If you love being close to nature, quiet open spaces and simple living, you will treasure being on this sacred and special land.
