Rustic retreat with panoramic views, tropical gardens, & biodynamic produce!

Pu'u O Hoku Ranch offers a unique getaway for travelers seeking a rustic retreat. You can hike, swim, stargaze, surf, and see a working ranch in action. Pu'u O Hoku is one of the few places in the islands where you can feel Hawaii as it once was. The Sunrise cottage is just a short drive from the black-sand beaches of Halawa Valley.

On the hill above the bustle of the ranch, surrounded by tropical gardens, with panoramic windows offering views over the bluffs to the ocean, the Sunrise Cottage is perfect for romantic getaways or small groups. Master bedroom with a queen bed, second bedroom with two twins, spacious living and dining room, fully-equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, and a shaded lanai.

The Sunrise cottage was built in the 1930s in a classic Hawaiian ranch style, furnished with Balinese and Hawaiian wood and textiles. The cottage is off the grid and runs on renewable energy, the water onsite is from our well.

We can also deliver fresh biodynamic and organic produce as well as fresh beef and venison to your cottage for you to cook during your stay!

Beautiful authentic stay

This is a charming and unique setting on the Pu’u O Hoku ranch. We enjoyed bird watching , watching the sunrise from the cove in the Halawa Valley, and exploring the lush landscape.

Lovely Long Weekend

It's the perfect place to get away for some pleasant cabin weather for books, board games, and yard games with the family. Our daughters (6 & 7) had a great time with the garden tour and horseback riding, and Halawa beach is a short drive away.

Outstanding retreat

My wife and i spent 4 nights/5 days here and absolutely loved it. Hit a local grocery store on the way in and you really never need to leave this wonderful little bungalow, other than to pick up some dried apple bananas and other snacks at the nearby ranch store. Everyone was incredibly friendly and we had 4 of the most incredible sunrises! Take a nice book or two and some hiking shoes and escape the rat race with this beautiful slice of old Hawaii! Can’t wait to go back!

Magical Time Away

The sunrise cabin was everything we wanted when we disconnected from work. Everything from the location, beautiful scenery, comfy bed, great meat and produce from the host … we could have asked for a more perfect vacation. 10/10 would stay here again!

My son and I really loved staying at the sunrise cottage. We felt like we had the ranch to ourselves! The fresh food provided was amazing and the cottage had everything we needed. We’ll be recommending it to our friends and family and would love to return.

Sunrise cottage

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the sunrise cottage. We appreciated our host stocking the kitchen with fresh fruit, veggies, eggs and meat from the ranch as our flight got in late and we didn’t have time to grocery shop. We enjoyed a hike right from the cottage up into the hills.

Beautiful, cozy getaway

My family had been looking forward to this trip for over a year, and I was prepared for something much more rustic but the cottage was wonderfully modern with recently renovated bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, and even super-fast WiFi. Even when it was raining hard outside, we felt safe and cozy indoors and it was nice to have almost the whole property to ourselves since no one was in the lodge at the time. Nani was so sweet and wonderful and I was glad we got to meet her in person.

Great Stay on Molokai

Truly a wonderful holiday destination. The ranch is the best place to stay on Molokai and we cannot recommend Sunrise Cottage on Pu'u O Hoku Ranch highly enough. Nani was so kind from the initial email in January. We arrived at a clean, beautifully appointed cabin filled with locally grown floral arrangements and a refrigerator supplied with a bag of produce grown on the ranch, eggs (the best we have ever eaten!) from the ranch, beef from cattle at the ranch and fruit grown on the ranch. What a delicious treat and we did our best to eat it all and had to get more eggs. Beds super comfortable, great walking trails all around the ranch. Cannot recommend enough the garden tour with Ahiku, horseback riding with Sarah, the store employees Nadia and Cathy, and everyone we encountered at the ranch -- just awesome people, proud of their job, the ranch and their island. We just loved our stay and hope to return.

The ranch is so respectful of nature, all organic cleaners used and fruits & vegetables are available, awaiting our arrival. Staff is unbelievable, so accommodating and thoughtful!

Stunning views and delicious veggies

We had a wonderful get away at the sunrise cottages. It is such a peaceful and beautiful spot. We spent our 5 day visit, lounging in the sunlit living room reading, walking down to the cliffs and exploring the beaches in town! I would highly recommend the sunrise cottage for anyone looking to disconnect and relax!

Secluded Oasis for Quiet Vacation Relaxation

The cottage at the ranch is a lovely and quiet getaway on the east side of Molokai. It has beautiful views of the hillsides and huge windows to feel immersed in the natural beauty of the island. The kitchen, bathroom and cottage itself are well stocked and comfortable for all you need. Grab some groceries in town, hike the ranch, take a horseback ride and enjoy!

On the Edge

Rising early at the Sunrise House, I was gifted with an amazing greeting from a Hawaiian Pueo (Owl) that flew up from the canyon below, back lit by the rising sun, and then flew over the house. There is something magical about this place - the gentle breeze that flows through the house, the quiet, the distant horizon, and of course, the stars at night.

Incredible Week at Pu’u O Hoku Ranch

We had an incredible week at Pu’u O Hoku Ranch. Nani and the entire ranch team were incredibly communicative both before and during our stay, and suggested so many wonderful activities both on and off the ranch property. The cottage was amazing, with beautiful view overlooking the green hills of the ranch and glimpses of the sea. The day bed with huge picture frame windows was perfect for afternoon naps. We did all the suggested hikes and made a point to watch the sunrise every morning. We hope to visit again soon.
