Diapason can be defined as either the just octave of Pythagorean tuning, or a great upsurge in harmony.

They apparently chose to rent a larger car.īeing only 18 miles south of Kailua-Kona, with restaurants at 2 miles away and a supermarket only 5 miles away, plus shops, gas stations, etc. If that couple had rented the type of car we recommend they would NOT have bottomed out. Regarding the gal that said our road was a "nightmare" she and her partner were WELL informed of the fact that it is partially unpaved road, not steep nor treacherous, and a bit over 1/2 mile long before they booked the Cottage.

Last year we had 5 very positive posts from guests who HAVE stayed here, however TA.com has apparently purged them.Īny interested party can simply email us and we'll provide them with a guest list of at least 25 couples. The closest description would be we are a botanical garden and coffee plantation. Our couples don't usually come in contact with us nor our other guests the entire time of their stay. They are not lined up in a row, nor do we have ag sheds everywhere. The occupants of each Cottage do NOT see each other's Cottage.

So I would say, do your homework about what there is to do in this area, does it fit with your plans? If you plan to do a lot in Kaiula-Kona and the beaches up north, this location is poor. Recently the "crawl" between the coffee towns and Kailua-Kona was on the front page here.įor the sake of those who have to live and work on these limited roads, it would be so much better if visitors would pick lodgings that are really in the area they plan to spend their time instead of doing all this driving, especially in this area. I stayed there in the late 90's when the traffic was nothing to drive to Kona. I haven't stayed there but I've stayed in Honaunau, and it did get boring. ![]() |
