Hale Kukui Orchard Retreat

This tiny little inn is knock-​your-​socks-​off good.
When you walk out on your deck, here’s what you see: on the left the tall, lush green cliffs of the Waipi’o Valley extending away for miles, falling to the ocean; the ocean in front, with Maui poking through the clouds in the distance; and birds singing in the fruit orchard directly below you, which you can wander through, picking fruit.
I mean, what is this place, Eden?
For these things alone, it tops my list for a recent trip to the Big Island. The rooms themselves are nicely, simply appointed– nothing too luxurious but quite adequate. The chance to sit on the deck, in the hot tub, and look at that view is really all that’s necessary.
It’s only 3 rooms– one 2 BR, one studio, and one standalone cottage– each with the view.
Note: I categorized it here under Bed & Breakfast because it’s most fitting, but breakfast is not included.
