Aloha! The Ohana Hale at Kahua Ranch is located in the Kohala Mountains on the stunning, privately owned, 4000 acre Kahua Ranch. We are a working ranch with sheep, cattle and horses and one adorable pig. Breathe in some of the world's freshest, crisp, clean air that travels 2500 miles across the ocean and is filtered down through our lush rain forest.
Conveniently located between the beautiful ranching town of Waimea (Kamuela) and historic Hawi town with it's dining, gift shops, art galleries, and coffee house; the views from the Ranch grounds are unparalleled!
Perfect for vacation/family getaways, or just local holo holo ( go on adventures); the Hale has 2 bedrooms, a queen master suite with it's own flat screen TV and a second surf themed bedroom with a pilowtop full size bed, both have spacious closets. A pillowtop punee' (twin size) located in the living room sleeps a fifth person if needed. The Hale has one full bathroom, a completely stocked kitchen which includes a jumbo microwave, countertop oven, full stove, dishwasher and refrigerator. Soft, organic cotton sheets, plush bedding and ample towels are provided. Amazon Fire TV, on the flat screen and blazing fast Internet is provided. There are dedicated laundry facilities (washer and dryer) within the Ohana with detergent.
A new sun deck with a new BBQ grill fronts the Hale under the pines with PASTURE AND MOUNTAIN VIEWS.
The Ohana Hale is new carriage house construction with all the modern conveniences, located just adjacent to the Ranch Retreat at Kahua.
This Ohana was built for friends and family and there are no full ocean views from within the house or the price would reflect this! Guests are able to stroll on property to unparalleled views steps away for stargazing and inspiration. We have been able to keep our prices affordable for return and long term guests year after year :)
The best of the Big Island’s beaches (Hapuna, Mauna Kea) are a short 20-30 (depending on traffic) minutes drive South- and a cooler, chairs boogie boards and large beach towels are also provided for fun in the sun. Snorkling, diving and swimming in Hawaii’s crystal clear waters are a short drive to the Kohala Coast as well as other water activities are available at Kawaihae Harbor (20 min drive).
If hiking and strolling is your preference, the black sand beach at Pololu Valley is 30 minutes away, through the town of Hawi as well as many other neighboring trails.
Waimea has three Farmer’s Markets that take place throughout the week and weekend, and Hawi has the Kohala’s Farmers Market, perfect for the Farm to Table experience with Hawaii’s local produce.
Horseback Riding and a fantastic BBQ Ranch dinner are also available at Kahua Ranch — discounts available at the stable when booking in advance and staying at the Ohana Hale.

Communication with the host was easy. She sent clear instructions. Check in was a breeze. The place was spotless. The kitchen was well appointed. The view was everything! The sunsets seem to last for hours. It’s a short drive to Waimea town and Hāpuna Beach, which are our favorites. I only wish we had more time here!

We absolutely love staying at the ranch. Terri and Tim are lovely hosts and I have never slept so well in my life. It is so peaceful and quiet and dark at night. You can walk about three minutes away to see incredible sunsets and vistas. It’s worth the beautiful extra drive versus staying closer in

High in the Kohala Mountains, with a landscape out of a Hayao Miyazaki film, is the Kahuā Ranch guest house. The wind whips over the mountains, thru the enormous pine trees, past a herd of horses, and towards the perfect sunsets of Kona. The accommodations are just as the owners described

If your after a resort experience look elsewhere. If your after more authentic Hawaii then this place will work. If you own a tractor, pickup and know why some shovels are square, the this is the really right spot. Nearest resteraunt is 10 miles away same with a store. Room service might be a while getting to you. Clean, heck of a view and completely adequate. Updated to 1990-2000 maybe newer. Everything works Terri and Tim are wonderful hosts.

Nice cottage with genial and responsive host. Pre-arrival communication marred by VRBO glitch, but we found it, and Terri was there to welcome us. Comfortable furnishings.
con: No oven and no wine glasses.

We happened to hit the weather perfectly the one night we stayed at the ranch. Clear blue skies and green fields, the view is unbeatable. When we pulled into the ranch and drove up the hill we were greeted with roaming horses and a few cows, they actually blocked the road so we had to wait for them to move, we loved it! We found out Ohana house and it was just as described. We unpacked and then took a walk around the ranch. We met Terri and learned more about the ranch's rich history. After the sunset, we took some lawn chairs and walked up the road to Terri's lawn and watched the stars. I have never seen so many bright stars and some shooting stars. It was a wonderful stay, and I wish it could have been more than one night.

My family loved every bit of our stay in this special ohana. We spent 4 weeks at Kahua ranch and were able to see northern Kohala in nearly every kind of weather. Throughout the stay we have the best sleep, the freshest air, the most wholesome sounds to keep us company.
The house had everything we could have wanted warm showered, cooking supplies to meet family dinners every night, 30 min door to beach in some of the best water access for our family to swim with turtles and in amazing tide pools. 100% recommendation. Brilliant hosts.

I absolutely loved our stay! The house is lovely and the owners are super friendly. The ranch is amazing and the house is a perfect place to unwind after a long day at the beach. The views around the ranch are spectacular and the sunsets are to die for! I look forward to returning.
