Deluxe spacious house with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms situated on a 3-acre botanical garden with over 30 different types of exotic fruit trees and several hundred botanicals including many rare palms and other species—labeled with their botanical names.
Situated in historic Waipio Valley, this unique property is known as “the place of first light” Ka’o and provides unparalleled access to “The Valley of the Kings”. The breathtaking landscape of the lush valley walls, traditional taro patches, palm and fruit trees, exotic fragrant flowers, and giant monkeypod trees transport you into another world. Walk two minutes to a sacred waterfall and swim in its cool waters or stroll down an enchanting jungle canopy path to the secluded Waipio black sand beach. Or explore our dense botanical garden filled with unusual and exotic species and learn while having fun— our plant labels and descriptions will help you identify local and international botanicals. It’s all here for you and much more!
Enjoy all the comforts of home while surrounded by paradise in over 5000 sq. ft. of custom living space—with bamboo hardwood and natural slate floors, travertine bathrooms, granite counters, teak furniture, and our exotic lava-rock bath house—fully off-grid and fed by a waterfall.
Screened lanais and decks allow gentle Pacific breezes to pass through the spaces while enjoying incredible views from the expansive bay windows and numerous skylights. Fabulous for star-gazing and bird-watching. Numerous streams and rivers run through the valley creating an unparalleled tropical adventure!

We have been successful in getting all of our guests out of the valley in time for their flights with no delays. However, we recommend guests arrange additional accommodations on the Island for a day at the end of their stay to ensure a smooth transition to the airport and alleviate the stress of catching flights on a timely basis.
*The base listing price includes four guests. There is an additional guest fee of $50 per head per night beyond the first four guests. Please see the "Additional Important Access Information" at the bottom of this listing as there are recent changes regarding access to Waipio Valley and our property.

We understand that many of our guests may want to make day trips out of the Valley to explore other parts of the island. We ask that you please schedule these day trips ahead of time to ensure shuttle availability.
