This exquisite and secluded property is located at the base of the Koʻolau mountains in Waimānalo. Surrounded by breath-taking views that will captivate and invigorate your spirit, this private property offers an experience that is one of a kind. With over 10 acres to explore, this regenerative farm is home to many fruit trees, indigenous plants, wild chickens, and other beautiful birds that you will likely spot while taking a stroll on our nature path. We have worked really hard to care for this ʻāina (land), and we are happy to share it with respectful travelers looking for a quiet, authentic, farm-stay experience. Camp Koʻolau provides bathrooms, a warm-water outdoor shower with an amazing view, and parking. Our farm is only a 5-minute drive to the beach, and 15 minutes from popular, Kailua town. As a working farm, we do have insects and geckos hanging around. So, it's not uncommon to encounter them. Also, we often have visits from wild pigs that come down from the mountain, so you may see them as well. Although we are certain you will love this place, please keep in mind, it takes a lot of hard work to maintain it. Thus, you will probably hear farm equipment and activities buzzing about (typically on the weekends). And, we want you to respect, love, and care for this place as much as we do by leaving it better than you found it.

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!

Palolo Paradise Preserve

Palolo Paradise Preserve There is an exceptional slice of paradise on Oahu close to downtown Honolulu and just 5 miles and 15 minutes from Waikiki beach. Hidden up a mile-long, narrow, winding road, over 3 little bridges, and into the jungle in the back of Palolo Valley lies 14 acres of tropical beauty and a cozy tent. The tent is situated amongst towering trees with a view of a large grassy meadow. The tent is off the grid, using catchment water and solar electrical power. A large lanai provides an ideal area to sit and enjoy the cool breezes and the frequent rain showers. The 14 acres of private property surrounded by nearly endless conservation forest provides an exceptional place for restoration of body and soul, a healthy and inspirational sanctuary of seclusion, peace, and tranquility. The land is a tableau of soft greens and gentle light. A place for restoration of body and soul, spending time in nature to improve mental, physical, and cognitive health. Feel the invigoration and deep peace, the mana, the energy of that life force of all living things. It is the forest, the soil, the rain. Yours to enjoy alone, other than for the owners at the far end of the property. There are some short hiking trails and a valley hike to a private waterfall. The tent is furnished with a Civil War era full-size bed formerly from the Brodhead family, whose ancestors fought in the American Revolutionary War. There is a private shower and restroom, and a BBQ grill. Umbrellas and rain jackets are provided to deal with the frequent and often heavy rainfall, which keeps the area so green and lush. The land is forested with kukui trees, koa trees, guava trees, eucalyptus deglupta, eucalyptus robusta, cinnamon trees, and flowering ginger in red, white , and yellow with various heliconias, banana, mountain apple, and avocado trees. The mission for owners Rick Ralston and Sue Jansen is to restore their 14 acres to a more pristine condition, eradicate invasive trees and plants, and reforest with indigenous Hawaiian trees and plants with the addition of selective flowering plants and fruit trees to create a delightful tropical garden paradise.

So nice! Just outside of town but feels nice and rural - loved all the chickens and it was nice to see the stray cats taken care of and not hungry or hurt. Camp host was eccentric but safe, yurt was clean, shower was gorgeous in the morning. Thanks again!

I stayed a few days in the Malakai Tent and found it to be a peaceful and relaxing experience. The farm has two goats, wild chickens, and several cats that roam the property. The owners’ friendly dog also roams freely. I traveled with my assistance dog, Moose, and kept him leashed throughout my stay. If you plan to bring a dog, I would recommend ensuring it is well-trained and kept under control, particularly given the presence of other animals on the property. The community amenities were well maintained. The outdoor shower was private, spacious, and provided warm water. The restrooms were clean and equipped with flush toilets. There is also a communal area available for cooking, laundry, and trash disposal. The tent itself was very clean and comfortable. The property remained quiet throughout my stay, with only sounds of animals and staff quietly tending to the gardens during the day. Although I did not participate in the educational or farm-to-table experiences this visit, I am interested in trying them and plan to return before the end of the summer. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful farm experience on Oahu.

Sun Farm was so much more than what I expected. The bed in the Yurt was so comfortable, I slept like a baby every night. Waking up to the birds, chickens, and Waimea the beautiful dog is paradise. And thank you so much Peter for all the help and info about the island and the hard work you did while we were there to make us comfortable and happy. I consider you definitely a friend. We plan on being back in November for another 11-night stay at Sun Farms by Marcos

Beautiful location. Views of mountains are majestic. Comfortable bed and great shower / bathroom area. There is a propane cooking stove with two burners and a fridge and some kitchenware. The property’s landscaping and vegetation with palm trees, banana trees, papayas, and other tropical plants was wonderful.

I loved staying in the Oahu bell tent at Sun Farm. This was my second time staying there, and it was even better the second time. It’s peaceful and feels safe and comfortable. The farm cats and dog are sweet and friendly, and the people working there kind and helpful. I will definitely be back!

Had an amazing stay, the views were incredible and had more amenities than expected right on site. Had some initial power issues with inverter glitch but was immediately fixed by Dave and called me to explain everything which didn’t affect power bank in tent. Being a tent outside expect some bugs, only the mosquitoes were a bit of an annoyance but this is a tropical island so it’s all expected. Bed was very comfortable but be aware that in pictures it shows a cot for third person but it is actually a futon chair that lays flat to be bed. Fan was a lifesaver for the warm humid late evenings. Enjoyed the outdoor shower. Overall no complaints and definitely saving it for our next visit. Emphasis on the amazing views and the feeling of being tucked away from city life.

This was a wonderful experience overall. It felt very secluded and private. Views around the entire property were beautiful. I thought the outdoor shower was very cool as well as the outdoor eating area. Dave was very communicative the whole time and I felt like the hosts really cared that I enjoyed my stay. I may be going back to Oahu for work soon and I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed on the farm with the 12 and 6 years old kids to have different more nature-based experiences. It was our first stay on the campground, and we loved it. It was close to the city, easy to find. Its very safe place where we could leave our belongings and go for a day. The kitchen was available to us wherever we needed during working hours. It was quite and peaceful, but be ready for roosters (however they didn't disturb us), they bring a charm to the farm along with two lovely goats-pets. They let them feed goats what children enjoyed to do. The water in shower was warm even at night time, it was a pleasure to take a shower and looking at bananas above the head. The farm is well taken care of, and living among banana and coconut trees gave us a feeling of being in subtropical woods. We will definetely come back. Thank you, Marcos, for your dedication and desire to work on the land and bring awareness to the tourists! So sorry not to meet and talk to you in person!
