Stunning location in Hawi!!

We had an amazing time at this perfect retreat in paradise where we could truly unwind. The grounds are beautiful and full of local fruit. On a clear day you can see Maui from the backyard!The host/house sitter were terrific, very responsive and kind. It is the perfect place to relax after a day of site seeing or scuba diving. We will be back for sure!

Gorgeous property, warm hosts

This part of the Big Island turned out to be my favorite. It's uncrowded, laid back, cooler than the rest of the island, and oh so beautiful. The hosts were warm and friendlly and gave me amazing advice on what to do. The rooms were filled with Donna's gorgeous photography. This was a special and unforgettable stay.

If the weather isn't ideal, not a great base

When planning our stay, I didn't realize the main living area is a converted garage with the sleeping and bathroom areas separate (you need to go outside to go between). The kitchen has a full fridge and a good number of appliances but is just a single counter without a stove in a relatively dark room. To get good light you need the garage door open which isn't particularly feasible when it's stormy and is far from private as it's opens onto the main driveway. The weather was very stormy while we were there so we spent each day driving to other parts of the island and only returning at night as there wasn't a nice place to relax if you couldn't relax outdoors. The farm property is lovely with nice views and lots of fresh fruit. The owners are friendly and will stop by each day to check on you and recommend activities.

Hawi Oasis

Our new little slice of heaven on the North end of the Big Island! Kevin and Donna are gracious hosts, knowledgable of all things local and pleasant to be around. The grounds are an extra bonus for us as we appreciate the fauna, landscape and new birds to identify! The orange blossom fragrance on the property was epic and surreal. We will be back again and again.

Paradise found!

We truly enjoyed our stay here. The grounds are beautiful, and we loved walking around them. The entry says it all as you drive in through a lush forest. We felt at-home, and our hosts were very personable, and made us feel so welcome, along with their sweet dogs and cat! Be aware that that the kitchen and laundry room are in the garage with a working garage door. Fairly well stocked, but not for cooking on a true stove/oven. But that's fine as long as you don't need them, and you can use the grill, though we preferred eating out in the two nearby towns for lunch or dinner. Such a sweet place to call home in between snorkeling, hiking, and exploring this beautiful area.

Always In Season Farmstead has enabled us to combine our love for food, people, and the planet into one. A fantastic place to rest, relax, rejuvenate, and retreat.

We performed and catered over 100 weddings and accommodated people worldwide.

I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I got trained in over one hundred dietary theories and studied various practical lifestyle coaching methods. Drawing on my experience and knowledge, I now enjoy teaching culinary classes, hosting wellness retreats, and coaching entrepreneurs and individuals who choose to make a change. I am also the author and speaker, and my husband and I are professional chefs and bakeries.
