Aloha Magic Cottage Farm Stay
Welcome to Hamakua Sunrise Farm - A small 10 acre farmstead putting regenerative farming practices & eco-tourism together to encourage people to get back in touch with their roots and sources of sustenance. We run 50% off of solar power & 100% rainwater catchment. Here, you will find plants, animals & humans striving for balance and harmony.
I love plants! So expect to be surrounded by them :)
☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎
This Cozy & Rustic Cottage is has a main room with a comfortable King sized bed and a Roku TV for entertainment.
A smaller side room with a futon and a kitchenette can also be used to sleep 2 kids or 1 adult. Both rooms have views of the ocean.
A kids Pack ‘N Play is also provided upon request which makes it perfect for couples or a family with a baby. There is no door between the rooms.
The private outdoor lanai (Patio) with a table and chairs is perfect for eating, smoking and drinking while soaking in the sun and watching the ships sail by.
The kitchenette has a single burner propane stove, microwave, a mini refrigerator, Coffee maker, toaster and an electric kettle. It's stocked plates, cups, bowls, spoons knives and forks, cork screw/bottle openers, pots and pans etc. A barbecue grill is also available upon request. We recommend bringing & drinking bottled water at all times.
Bathroom is stocked with shampoo, bodywash, handsoap and a set of towels for each person.
Paid Washer/dryer with soap is also available next to the main house, during daylight hours only.
We are about 600ft above sea level so we do not need a/c. The fan in the room is enough to keep it cool.
☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎
THINGS TO DO
- There's a covered deck for you to watch sunrise from & practice yoga.
- Purchase farm fresh eggs, homegrown coffee & locally sourced Hamakua Honey & natural souvenirs.
- Barbecue grill is also available upon request but you must bring your own charcoal.
- Night Sky is one of the most mesmerizing experiences on the farm. 100s of shooting stars and interesting sky activity. Watch out for the Saucers!
- Hangout with our chickens, cows & ducks, feed them your left overs & participate in recycling left overs for eggs :)
- Take a Walk around the farm.
- Explore local waterfalls
Papaaloa Country Store Cafe & Bar just down the road is great place to get supplies, hot food & live music. Please check for store hours online as they change often.

Loved this little cottage
We were very comfortable during our stay. Its so peaceful around here, and the cottage is very cute and well-equipt. We didnt feel like we were missing anything.
On balcony you have an amazing view of the ocean during the day, and if the sky is clear at night, a killer view of the stars!

Lovely hill-side retreat
We had a wonderful stay in our little rustic cabin among the tree frogs and geikos. We made it a point to wake up for sunrises and watch the stars at night, both from the deck off from our cottage. We highly recommend sitting in the outdoor couch area and enjoying a wonderfully cooked meal from the host as well. Location was great and close to the general store. Sidra and Chris were wonderful hosts.

Deceiving
Our overall experience was very poor. The description of the property was misleading. The pictures definitely misleading. Such as saying it is beach front property, no about a mile away is the ocean so ocean view more accurate. I wanted beach front property we would not have stayed there because that was what we were looking for. Also saying you can walk to a waterfall, not exactly the truth we asked the locals and they told us where it is and very difficult to navigate and beware of fire ants. The property list that there is a washer and dryer nope you have to go to another place on the property where the washer and dryer is and pay $15.00. Money is not the problem just misleading. There is a cleaning fee added to the final price which is not a problem until we get check out instructions that we have to make sure all dishes are washed and coffee pot cleaned if used. Why have a cleaning fee if we have to clean? The property is a cabin that needs repairs. Absolutely NOT recommend.

Peaceful Retreat on Hamakua Coast
Relaxing stay in "tiny house" on the farm. My wife and I loved the rustic setting and being able to roam the farm and say good morning to Mama Cow and Baby Moo, along with the Chicken Kingdom. This unit has its own bathroom with shower, along with a kitchenette with everything we needed. Comfy bed after nighttime trip to watch Pele play in Kilauea. Papa'aloa General Store just down the hill for live music, dinner, plate lunch, and breakfast take away. We loved the Chill Shack with Sidra's artwork. Lots of positive energy and peaceful vibes!

Very disappointed
Reality did not match soft- focus photos. Very basic cabin, scant supplies (no kitchen towels or cooking pot); kitchen awkward and little counter space; poorly repaired back door; low/no water pressure and sporadic hot water; ill fitting bedding; soiled bath mat; no bath towel racks; intermittent wifi; dry rot on porch, old paint; unresponsive hosts.

Super cute cottage
The cottage is super cute and has a great view of the ocean! Only issues we had was getting hot water and no water pressure. They mention laundry and farm fresh eggs on the listing but they do charge for both, not a big deal though.
