The "Real Hawaiian Experience"

Our stay at Hale Aloha Aina was the perfect way to experience the real Hawaii! Situated on a private acreage in the cooler elevated area of Pahala this cottage is sweet. We enjoyed many a relaxing evening on the back lanai after after a day of exploring, hiking and snorkelling. The lack of light pollution would reward us with amazing star-studded night skys as we planned our next day's adventure over a glass of wine and the solitude of the neigborhood (surrounded by other acreages) always ensured us of a peaceful sleep.
This fully stocked home provided us with such extras as beach mats, towels, snorkel gear and deck chairs for days at the beach as well as flashlights and fleece jackets for exploring the caves and lava tubes which allowed us to travel light for our three week stay. Davin, the groundskeeper, kept us well stocked with fresh tree-ripened fruit from the abundant yard and Mona had fresh cut flowers to welcome us to this immaculate and clean home.
Tom and Missy called us to make sure all was well (the telephone in the home is a real bonus for booking tours, chartering a boat or helicoper!) and the reference material in the home covering the local sights kept us scrambling to see it all! This little piece of paradise is the perfect destination for a quiet, authentic (and romantic) visit to the big island of Hawaii and the central location to Hilo, Kona, Volcano National Park, Kapoho and all the beaches, trails and sights is a real bonus. Why settle for a sterile apartment when you can stay in your own private shangri-la? Well done Tom and Missy - this is a real treasure!

The better-half of our honeymoon

My wife and I stayed at Hale Aloha Aina for the first part of our honeymoon last August. We were excited to stay somewhere that was remote, full of natural beauty, and off of the grid. We arrived at night, despite Tom & Missy's recommendations to arrive during the day, but we didn't have too much trouble finding it. The property was clean on arrival and looked very nice. The various literature provided by Tom and Missy in the cottage was more than adequate to understand how to use everything in the cottage, which sites were nearby, and also how to identify the various plants and trees on the property.
The next day we woke up to beautiful sunshine flowing in through the windows and motivation to explore. I think each time we went outside to explore throughout our stay, we would discover some new tree or plant that we had previously not seen. The sun was very bright in the morning, but sometimes got a little hazy in the afternoon due to the volcanic fog. However, this was not really a problem for us. In reality, it was a benefit as this meant the volcano was not too far away for us to visit.
We would often drive West around the coast to a black sand beach not far way to relax and have a picnic. We even had a chance to visit the green sand beach (the only one that I know of), which was also not too far from Hale Aloha Aina (except for the 2 mile hike once you park).
We never had to use the generator for backup power at the cottage. The battery-life bar showed full power throughout our stay; I guess the sun was bright for long enough to handle us. Oh, and we didn't even have power problems when using the washer and dryer--it all worked great.
I must say that it was very nice being able to pick fresh fruit from the trees in the yard, including limes for our drinks. It made me feel very much in touch with nature.
I would highly recommend this property to honeymooners, people seeking a romantic getaway, adventure seekers, and sightseers. The property was remote enough and beautiful enough to spend the majority of your time. However, if you wanted to venture off to some cool sites, there were many available (the black sand beach, the green sand beach, the volcano, etc). We enjoyed it more than the second half of our stay near Kona coast (too busy). Tom and Missy treated us great as well as the grounds keeper we talked to on our way out. Thanks Tom & Missy for a great stay!
Absolutely fabulous!

I wanted to write you and tell you what a wonderful time we had and how much we enjoyed your beautiful cottage. Honestly, I can't think of any place that could have been more perfect or romantic to spend our honeymoon! It was absolutely fabulous!! We loved the privacy, the tasteful decorations, the stars, the hammock, the fresh water! We found the cottage to be perfect in every way and if we ever are able to get back to Hawaii, I can't imagine staying anywhere else! Thank you so very much for such a beautiful honeymoon!

| See the lava at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park |
As far as the volcano, we weren't troubled at all. We only noticed the ash when we drove toward the volcano. About 10-15 miles from your house going toward Hilo it was pretty bad for a few miles, but then cleared back up. It wasn't bad at the actual volcano site either. The air was always fresh and nice at the cottage. Thanks again for a wonderful time! Mahalo, Joy and Josiah
FROM OUR GUESTS
"We woke in the morning with birds singing and the sun shining into the home just like in your pictures. It was just perfect. It was the perfect escape, with no interruptions, no cars, no neighbors in sight, no kids, no work, no worries. We could not even SEE another house or person from anywhere on the property that morning..."

Honeymoon Heaven
My husband and I stayed in Hale Aloha Aina for our honeymoon this past May 2008. The place surpassed our expectations. Tom and Missy's place is beautiful, and luxurious. The bed was so comfortable, and the furnishings are lovely. The cottage had everything that we could have wanted to cook our meals. It's remote, out of the way location in Wood Valley is a taste of paradise. This was an excellent location for us to explore the southern areas of the big island including Volcano National Park, which was the main attraction for us. There were no issues with any vog from the volcano, and it had just recently gotten more active. The valley is an oasis of macadamia and coffee farms. We purchased superb Ka'a coffee from a roadside stand on our way to the park. The black and green sand beaches are amazing. We recommend it highly.
