Why they chose this property
The Puakea Ranch has been a labor of love and joy. The restoration of the 4 historic plantation era homes on this gorgeous old ranch were long overdue. Now fully restored, we are delighted to share them with visitors to The Big Island. Hawi, HI is a very special place and The Puakea Ranch is a once in a life time experience that you will want to come back to again and again.
What makes this property unique
Nothing like Fresh eggs from our hens, or picking greens out of our big garden for your dinner salad. Sipping coffee while watching the whales breach in the ocean beyond in a very private and unique setting far from the crowds of the resorts and condos.
