A secluded retreat on the slopes of Mauna Kea overlooking the gorgeous Hamakua Coast, Talking Peace Farm includes 42 pristine acres of green forest and meadow with cows grazing and a 270 degree view of the Pacific Ocean. The sun rises on one side of the property and sets on the other, and on a clear day you can see Maui 70 miles away.
There is plenty of country road walking, hiking and biking without even getting in your car. Or just hang your hammock and read or meditate while enjoying the view. We're at 1900' elevation, so sometimes you're among the clouds!
We are 8 miles from the last Hawaiian sugar plantation town of Honoka'a, 16 miles from the sacred Waipio Valley, 35 miles north of Hilo, 30 minutes from Waimea, 45 minutes from the white sand beaches of Kohala, and 2 hours from Volcano Nat'l Park. Farmers markets, botanical gardens, working farms, are all close by, with a fresh organic produce stand at the bottom of the hill.
The tradewinds keep our air pure, with daytime temps from the low 70's to mid 80's year round. It is the windward side of the island, so weather happens, and it's beautiful to watch the rain dancing miles out in the ocean as it approaches. If you're here during a rainy spell and you want a break, you just drive to the other side of the island for hot & sunny 95% of the time!
"The Lanai" is a 2000sf open truss structure with ample room for the solo traveler, couples, families or even two families. Children are welcome. We're totally off-grid, with a working kitchen, indoor plumbing, filtered catchment water, a hot shower, and solar power for charging your batteries. (If you really really need it, wi-fi is available.) A woodburning stove provides some heat in the immediate vicinity, but it can get chilly in the winter months. Yes, there are lizards scampering around, and if you leave any food out you are inviting ants and other critters.
The owners and a caretaker live nearby on the land, but we will leave you in peace unless you need us for support and local tips for your enjoyment. If you like dogs, the amazing Lilikoi and Koa will happily come and visit you during your stay!
If your way of decompressing includes gardening, you are more than welcome to spend time in our organic veggie crop circle - and there just might be some fresh harvest for your dinner!A secluded retreat on the slopes of Mauna Kea overlooking the gorgeous Hamakua Coast, Talking Peace Farm includes 42 pristine acres of green forest and meadow with cows grazing and a 270 degree view of the Pacific Ocean.
