Bobi,
Many thanks for your hospitality. We loved our big feast at Bamboo and trip down to Pololu Valley and of course all the wind.
Thanks for your extra help driving us to dinner! I'm sure this will be a favorite stop for bikers all over the world!!

I had a very nice time looking at the geckos. I love your
dogs. I had a very good sleep. My mom and I loved waking up to
the songs of the birds. Maggie
We marveled at the stars through the Sundeck Suite's octagon
window. It filled me with wonder. I particularly enjoyed looking
at you collection of books on alternatives for better health.
Thank you for the serenity of your welcoming home...a perfect
place for quality time with our family. Phil, Joni,Scott and Kay, Ca.
We rested, we enjoyed this little piece of hidden treasure..Thank you, Bobi for a lovely place. I'm inspired by your life as a Mother and Artist. All our best to you. Wendy and Joey, Ohio
April,2004 Our ten day adventure was one
of the nicest times~hiking, waterfalls, snorkeling, boogie
boarding, turtle watching, sunsets, pina coladas, and tasty
food. Most importantly, we loved the place we were staying,
always looking forward to getting back here after a long day in
the sun. We'll definitely recommend your beautiful guesthouse to
our friends. Elan and Anna P.S. Your lovely art has added much
warmth to the room! |

More than 200 years ago, runners swiftly carried the newborn
Kamehameha along a coastal trail toward the mountain ridges of
Kohala to protect him from enemies who feared prophecies that he
would one day hold great power. The legends of his birth gave names
to places along the runners route, Hawi, "place of famine," where
the baby Kamehameha needed breast milk, and Kapaau, "the place
where the blanket went swimming," where his kapa (bark cloth)
bunting got wet as he was carried across a stream. The prophecies of
Kamehameha's greatness came true when, in 1795, he conquered the
islands and united them in peace.
In North Kohala, the coastal highway turns inward,
winding through the small town of Hawi and then the slightly larger
community of Kapaau. Not far beyond, the road ends at Polulu
Valley. In the center of Kapaau, shops, restaurants, galleries, and
businesses line one side of the road. On the other side, standing
where it has since 1912, is the bronze statue of King Kamehameha.on
a rise above the road.
