Wailea is a quaint old plantation village of about 12 households. It is a very friendly and warm community where we know each other. Our families know each other. Every Tuesday, we have our community market and we gather to share,sell, and trade food; great food for our bodies and souls. We are located 15 miles from Hilo. A car is a convenience. There is our Hele On Bus service. During this time of Covid, guests fly into Hilo Airport, take a taxi or uber here, and remain on the grounds for 14 days. Our facilities offer the best of "old Hawaii," - the natural simplicity and quiet charm. We are steeped in all that is natural - the windchimes sing, the winds blow through the multitude of trees and plants and shrubs, the light changes - a little rain, a little wind, sometimes a lot, and we live in deep peace and gratitude.
