Please note, we are a working farm, so there is equipment, daily activity and sweet animals on property. Out door shower and portable toilets available for orchard campers
Mahalo Henry and Ben,
You are wonderful hosts. You have put a lot into your hipcamp site and it shines through in how well planned out your spots are. Your landscape trapping and tent covered space outside of the cabin made a huge impact, spending time outside covered in the rain was refreshing. The motion sensor lights to light the way to the outhouse after dark was appreciated. The dimmable lighting inside and out of the mini cabin was really a nice choice for relaxing in the space. Your space has been so comfortable and a reprieve from the dampness of the van with this heavy rain we have had. I truly appreciate your responsiveness and kindness. This is what I traveled such a distance for. Peace in nature.
No one else stay here; I call dibs! I want to stay here every weekend. Just kidding, stay here, so they can stay open, and I can come here often as possible.
This place was great, the pictures don’t do it justice. The site is private but the host is on site and there are other people working the farm so if there is a need, it’s easy to ask for help. As a single woman, this made me feel safe.
I didn’t need to bring anything but my food, water and toiletries. They had bedding, furniture, firewood, lighting, pop-ups for shade and tarps and carpets staked down for ground covering. They even cut greenery and placed it in vases to welcome me upon my arrival at the site. Host Henry is a cultural ambassador at one of the most prestigious resorts on the island, so if you are visiting, take advantage of his expertise when you meet with him upon arrival.
Haters: this is camping! This is not a hotel or air and b. It’s outside! Dirt lives outside. Leaves live outside. Bugs live outside. Bring wipes to wipe down surfaces if dirt is on surfaces. Settle down when you see piles of leaves. Bring bug spray. Calm down and realize you’re camping. Sheesh.
My daughter and I booked a one night stay in a tent at the last minute and were unable to arrive until after dark. Henry was kind enough to guide us back to a site and allowed us to try out a new site they are setting up so we didn’t have to set our tent up in the dark. Though we didn’t get to spend much time there, it was an absolutely gorgeous spot to wake up in and we loved all of the animal and nature sounds. We wish we could have seen more before having to get on the road, but from what we saw…such a cool spot. Henry, thank you for your generosity—we hope to visit again one day!
This is a stunning piece of land, tucked away just up the mountain from the beaches and shops. We enjoyed the fire pit and the care they have taken in setting up the space. All the automatic lights, piles of firewood, and friendly, helpful hosts made this a stay to remember! We will be back!
We stayed at the Aloha Mini for two nights and one night in the tent site - I'll note some specifics about the aloha mini in this review. The Aloha Mini is definitely an upgrade from tent camping. The camper has good screens to keep out bugs and maintain good air flow, a comfortable mattress, clean bedding, and enough space to squeeze in 2-3 bags. There are additional amenities like a light, table, canopy, chairs, and a grill, but we didn't use them. Henry was very kind, and they have cultivated a cozy spot as part of the larger farm.
