7 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Kailua, HI

This is a breathtaking space that our family has poured many decades and multiple generations into. We are surrounded by jungle, with a freshwater stream running through the entire property and unobstructed mountain views. If you’re especially sensitive to mosquitos, bugs, geckos, free roaming chickens or other elements to be expected in nature, this might not be the place for you. Waimanalo is a small agricultural town filled with nurseries, horse stables, and a high concentration of Hawaiian homes. It remains mostly undeveloped and authentic, and we aim to keep it that way. Outsiders do not often get the opportunity to stay back here, but we welcome respectful travelers looking for an authentic experience who can appreciate this privilege. While nestled against the mountains, we're just a five minute drive from the beach. We are fifteen minutes from Kailua town, where you'll find several grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. This is a working farm. While we are very hospitable, we are not in the business of hospitality. I am happy to accommodate travelers, but I am not here at your beck and call. If that is the experience you are seeking, I think you would be happier elsewhere. We appreciate all of your bookings, and profits go directly back into farm infrastructure and new fruit trees. Thank you for looking!

We really enjoyed our stay here. It felt like we were a world away. The farm was so beautiful and peaceful. Dave is a wonderful host, he is kind, friendly and easy to communicate with. You will feel the aloha spirit here. Bring some ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. You can hear everything around the farm, especially the numerous roosters that roam around the area and crow at odd hours of the morning. :) Definitely bring mosquito repellent as there are lots of mosquitos that hang out at this super cool place.

Weekend Trip to Malama Aina Retreat - Oahu

We had a very positive experience overall. Initially, our booking was double booked. But our host went so far above and beyond to help us find a new accommodation less than a few minutes. Our new accommodation was perfect for our family of 7. He did a great job to both communicate well and to quickly resolve the issues. We had a great stay in Oahu.

My partner and I have stayed at Lex and Dave’s multiple times, which has never disappointed us. We stayed in the tent on each occasion, which was lovely. The grounds are great, and while you’re away from the hustle and bustle of Waimanalo and Oahu, it’s still easily accessible. Dave is a wonderful host who does his best to meet his guests’ needs, and when my partner is in Hawai’i (I live in Hawai’i and she flies in to visit as her work is international), we think of this place first as our place to stay, reconnect, and recharge. This is a regular spot for us, and we hope it will be for you, too.

My teen boys and I stayed here and loved it so much that we changed our other plans to stay here longer!!! BEST camping/glamping!!!!! In the green tropical banana farm, we enjoyed the most peaceful time here with so much wildlife and plants. Hot showers, beautiful tropical banana farm, various wildlife, and so deep in nature, it was perfect!!! While it’s deep in the jungle, it’s still very close to the beach, we visited Waimanalo Beach within 15 minutes. The sunrise is to die for, and we loved exploring the whole property and feeling a part of beautiful nature!!!
