Ohana Hale at Kahua Ranch - Private Ranch Paradise in Kohala -

Aloha! The Ohana Hale at Kahua Ranch is located in the Kohala Mountains on the stunning, privately owned, 4000 acre Kahua Ranch. We are a working ranch with sheep, cattle and horses and one adorable pig. 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. A pillowtop punee' (twin size) located in the living room sleeps a fifth person if needed. The Hale has one full bathroom, a completely stocked kitchen which includes a jumbo microwave, countertop oven, full stove, dishwasher and refrigerator. Soft, organic cotton sheets, plush bedding and ample towels are provided. Amazon Fire TV, on the flat screen and blazing fast Internet is provided. There are dedicated laundry facilities (washer and dryer) within the Ohana with detergent.
A new sun deck with a new BBQ grill fronts the Hale under the pines with PASTURE AND MOUNTAIN VIEWS.

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! Guests are able to stroll on property to unparalleled views steps away for stargazing and inspiration. 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. Snorkling, diving and swimming in Hawaii’s crystal clear waters are a short drive to the Kohala Coast as well as other water activities are available at Kawaihae Harbor (20 min drive).
If hiking and strolling is your preference, the black sand beach at Pololu Valley is 30 minutes away, through the town of Hawi as well as many other neighboring trails.
Waimea has three Farmer’s Markets that take place throughout the week and weekend, and Hawi has the Kohala’s Farmers Market, perfect for the Farm to Table experience with Hawaii’s local produce.
Horseback Riding and a fantastic BBQ Ranch dinner are also available at Kahua Ranch — discounts available at the stable when booking in advance and staying at the Ohana Hale.
E Komo Mai!
Come experience a rare opportunity, unique to the Big Island of Hawaii!

Need more room ? We also have our beautiful Nana Aina 2 bedroom cottage available.

Stunning Property
This was a perfect ending to our stay on the BI. We did a horseback ride with Na'alapa and the sunset BBQ which is on the same beautiful property. The house was very large and had everything you could ever need for ourl stay. The host was very accommodating and super helpful. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Cozy cabin in the woods on an amazing ranch property
House: The Ohana Hale is super comfortable. It has a great cozy, cabin in the woods vibe. It's beside the owner's house. Teri is super helpful and nice and very responsive. There is a very nice, outdoor cat named Smudge, who doesn't go indoors. We also petted some very nice horses that we named The Triplets as the 3 were always together. Ranch property: You can literally walk to the Na'alapa Stables for a wonderful 1-2.5 h ride. The views are amazing just beyond the little wooded area. There are nearby hikes and the property is between Waimea and Hawi for restaurants. We loved our stay. It was so calming and peaceful.

Very clean well appointed space. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. The ability and freedom to explore the property allows you to experience on the some of the most beautiful views I have ever seen in my life. Highly recommend the Paniolo BBQ dinner hosted on site on Wednesdays and the on site horseback tour. Terry is a wonderful host! Clear and easy communication and most accommodating with everything! I can’t wait to come back to the Big Island so my family can come Back here and make more memories! Mahalo!!

Beautiful views and had everything we needed.
The property is very well stocked with all the basic cooking supplies. We did not cook there but if we wanted to we certainly could. The rooms were nice sized and beds were comfy. The property is on a gorgeous ranch with stunning views of the ocean and mountains. We did the horse back ride along with staying there and received a discount. Highly recommend that as well. The hosts answered our questions in a timely manner and were very nice in person as well. Would highly recommend this property!!

Amazing
The home was clean and comfortable on a beautiful ranch. The views are breathtaking. I wish we would have had more time and better weather to explore the ranch. The beach supplies and cooler were a great touch. My daughter was thrilled to have a boogie board to play in the ocean and it was nice to have chairs to relax on the beach. It has everything you could need and more.

Unforgettable Stay at a Breathtaking Hawaiian Ranch
Had an amazing time at this Hawaii ranch VRBO stay! The views were breathtaking, with visibility of other islands from the property and unparalleled stargazing.

Comfortable home at a wonderful ranch property
This is a comfortable, clean home with comfy beds on the north tip of the island, with an awesome nighttime stargazing opportunity because there are no exterior lights to distract from the sky. Hospitality is this host's priority which makes guests feel welcome like good friends/family. My family hopes to return to the island someday, and it would be a privilege to stay here again.
