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.

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!

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.

Whether you are returning from a quick dip in the surf at Hapuna Beach, or from a trek down to the Volcano Park or better yet from world-class yakitori MOA restaurant in Waimea, you will be beyond delighted to return this warm and welcoming ‘ohana with one heck of a view. Clean, quiet, and peaceful. Every time, my family would express their gratitude that we fortunate enough to stay here.

have visited Kohala over 25 years, the place is wondrous
this particular lodging has none of the views advertised
from the actual rooms you are occupying, yet owners allow
you to walk or drive all about the ranch for those views.

This is such a beautiful property. Hard to expand on what others have already shared. Nice, clean, and new apartment. The drive to the ranch is breathtaking. My friend and I wanted to experience a stay off the regular tourist circuit and this property was a perfect way to spend our last two days on the island. We'll definitely be back!

What a wonderful location. Staying on a ranch 3000 feet above sea level on the Big Island. The Ohana Hale was very clean, and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped so that you can cook your meals if you choose to. The BBQ also worked very well. Teri is a fantastic host. She communicated the arrival instruction very well. She was very responsive to any questions that came up. I would absolutely stay here again.

The place is very nice -all you could need. Yards away are panoramas of ocean and distant mountains with Kohala Mountain pastureland in the foreground. A working ranch with horses, cattle, sheep and one pet pig. It's over a hundred years old with an interesting history. Very relaxing and quite private. Terri was great.

Beautiful property. A remote, relaxing location about 20 minutes from great beaches and cute towns with nice restaurant options. Make sure you walk the property a bit to take in the wonderful views. Very clean with all of the extras to help make your trip go smoothly. Would definitely stay again!

This stay was a highlight of our trip.
The unit was spacious, clean and comfortable.
But what really makes it stand out is the location, the land it’s on and the amazing views it has.
It's a nice place where to base yourself while visiting the north part of the island. Everything was so easily accessible. Yet when you are up there, you feel like you are in another world completely.
The hosts were very nice too and took the time to tell us about their amazing ranch and their kids even took time to show our kids all their animals. Wish we would have stayed longer!

Terri's home was THE surprise of our trip. The home is comfortable and exactly as described. There is no view from the home itself, but this is more than made up by the views available from the ranch. Pictures online don't do justice to the breathtaking views that are available just a short walk from the home, where we have access to a very large "private" grassy area that is perfect for sunsets, stargazing or just relaxing. We were amazed how lucky we were to have access to such a perfect spot on a working ranch on Big Island, with cattle and horses and all! Of all the places we have been on the Big Island, this is the one that the kids miss the most. Terri was very helpful in getting the kids on a horse ride on the property at the last minute too! Just a short (always rewarding) ride from the Kohala coast beaches, the beautiful Pololu Valley, and the Waimea area. All in all, if you seek staying away from the crowds, you simply cannot pass this rental. Mahalo Terri!

If you want to get away from it all, this is the place! We love this ranch. The drive here from the Kona airport is easy & AMAZING. The views are stunning! Hosts Terri & Tim are so sweet and accommodating. We only got to stay here a couple of days before family arrived & we had to move to a larger place. This was our first time in Hawaii and I seriously hope to come back & stay here again. Mahalo Terri & Tim!

Lovely property with beautiful views. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous. The owners provided lots of tips, even though they were a bit under the weather. Space was very comfortable. Only negatives were the cobwebs on the outside of the windows (one of my kids doesn't like spiders), water wasn't clear but told drinkable (they provided bottled water to drink) and shared laundry machine was down stairs but open to living space.

Our two-night stay was special and memorable. The cottage was lovely, well furnished and very clean. Our hosts Terri and Tim were welcoming and helpful. We’d love to stay again!

My husband and I came during a blustery March and enjoyed ourselves so much. Terri and Tim are so very helpful and generous. They were quick to communicate and answered all of our questions about things to see in the area, activities etc. We were thankful for the beach supplies, coffee, and water that they supplied for us. We fell in love with Custard the pig, and were in total awe of the property. Our favourite part was walking up to the weather tower and sitting on the lawn in total serenity. The horses and cows kept an eye on us and we loved coming back to our cozy home at the end of a beach day. The drive itself is something you'll never forget. Thanks so much Terri and Tim!

This property is beautiful. The accommodations were perfect. We went to the Paniolo BBQ the night before and it was a short walk up the driveway from this property. After three very long travel days, it was the perfect place to let our family rest and run around without having to worry. The Kona coffee in the morning was a wonderful treat. I would definitely recommend staying here and would stay here many times over. The hosts are friendly and helpful. We actually had a flight cancellation and Terri worked with us to rebook. God bless your family! Mahalo.

Our family had a great time here! We enjoyed the amazing view, especially for sunset and also for stargazing and the cosy and comfortable home. Terri was a great host and easy to contact directly. Great location on the Kohala, not far away from Waimea, Hawi and some nice beaches on the West coast!

We decided to stay at Kahua Ranch for 9 nights, to have the experience of being on a Hawaii ranch. It was extremely interesting as well as beautiful. There is no great view from the apartment you stay in but just a few steps outside and on a clear day you will see an amazing view all the way down to the coastline. We were able to walk around parts of the property, saw the large herds of cattle and sheep, visited with the adorable pig "Custard" and had several very interesting chats with Terry, one of the owners. The ranch is over 100 years old and the history is quite interesting. An experience that will be entirely different from staying at a resort, I highly recommend it.
