Coco Cabana

It's hard to know where to begin with how incredible this place is. We were only able to stay one night and I was so sad to leave! This site is a permaculture based farm that hosts interns from every corner of the world. The crew that was there to greet us (preparing for students to arrive in a few short weeks) was so incredibly inviting and fun to be around. You are just a short distance from the adorable town of Honakaa and there are endless activities and sites to see in this area. We were asked to park at the entrance to the farm which is just a short distance walk up to the main property. There were ADORABLE grazing goats at the entrance that we had a really hard time leaving alone. They loved to be loved!

The grounds themselves are SO gorgeous. We were lucky enough to get a tour from one of the seasonal volunteers who educated us on permaculture farming and sustainability practices. We got a few insider tips on what the next "kale" will be! We even got to enjoy a plate of edible plants that we picked on our tour.

We were incredibly comfortable in our Cabana. It was clean and even had an air mattress! Our sleeping bags and pillows were barely needed. The Cabanas are screened so you can fall asleep peacefully listening to incredible jungle sounds all night.

There is a covered deck and kitchen area that has a cooking stove, utensils, coffee maker and really anything you may need to cook up your own food. Just next to the kitchen area is an adorable building that has showers and sinks for cleaning up. My shower was hot! The composting toilets on site were also very clean and comfortable to use.

Do yourself a favor and stay at the Banana Cabanas! You will not regret it. I truly hope to return someday.

This is a place for a most interesting stay. It's definitely a rustic setting on a working permaculture farm. The hosts are a bunch of passionate and dedicated people working at their plan of growing acres of food. If you are at all interested in a different side of Hawaii, away from tourists, don't miss this place and all it has to offer.

My girlfriend and I had so much fun here. We loved the cabanas and the layout of the place. We learned so much and made great friends! I can’t wait to come again w my roommates one day.

This place is amazing! Really nice people, beautiful property, and close to waipio and town. I highly recommend staying here. Make sure to bring mosquitoe repellent.

Adventurous stay, would definitely recommend!

Where nice farm manager, we liked it very much to stay there

This was a great place to stay close to Waipio Valley. Baxter is a kind soul and a great host. The cabanas are simple with bunk beds and little else, but they are fully screened and have air mattresses and solar led lights. They are a short 5 min hike uphill from parking, but Baxter was there when we arrived and have us and our stuff a ride up. We enjoyed hanging out with the wwoofers and hiking to the waterfalls. Plus hot showers!

Lovely place to stay for a night. Kitchen, laundry, hot showers, and potable water on-site. Free bananas for breakfast when we were there. Bed was pretty comfortable, the only problem was that the (air) mattresses are pretty squeaky/noisy when you move around. Also, bring your own pillow.

Perfect launch point to start hiking the Muliwai trail to the magical Wiamanu Valley. Friendly informative hosts!
