Waipi'o Lodge

The location was what I'd consider remote for the Big Island but if you are visiting the Waipo Valley or overlook, this is a wonderful place to stay. It is on the lower level of the proprietors home. I did notice that they had some very large, deluxe style tents with actual wood floors that overlook the spectacular Pacific Ocean. There were fresh bananas and macadamia nuts and other fruits as well available for the taking.

You could hear the family on the second floor and when they turned on their faucet (not sure if it was a shower, tub, sink) but it was pretty loud. Also people walking around upstairs... but it was only mildly uncomfortable.

Awesome vibe, great people. I recommend the outdoor cabins they are beautiful and super comfortable

This is a beautiful place in a great location! The gardens are nice, view of the ocean splendid, and the nights dark and quiet. The set-up was straightforward and simple but there are lots of nice bonuses (microwave, stove to cook on, large fridge, coffeemaker), and I liked the interesting history of the farm.

The setting

bed creaking pretty bad

You’re just surrounded by nature

The location is great to see Waipio lookout (access to the valley was closed when we stayed, though). The place is big enough, owner very friendly and helpful, free macadamia nuts 😋 and other fruits in the property. Sky was stunning with the milky way above us!

We killed a couple of cockroaches, wandering my backpack in the bedroom and in the living room as well. Walls are thin.
