Great property and fantastic hosts - all resulting in a very fun stay!
Everything was stellar here from all the pre-stay communication, the check-in process and all the way through our stay. Bob and Kady were an absolute pleasure to talk to on a variety of topics. Lily, the resident pooch, seemed to love the additional folks to throw her frisbee! The property is very serene and it was nice to be able to stroll around the property, through the orchard towards the creek. There's also a nice walk around their property and going down to the coastline.

Sun and Moon Cottage
Beautiful!! The cottage exceeded our expectations in every way! Bob, Kady and Lily were great hosts and made us feel at home every step of the way. We loved watching the sunrises with our morning coffee from the garden bench. The oasis surrounded with tropical plants was a perfect spot to spend time with the koi while listening to the creek and birdsong. The setting is peaceful, private and filled with some of the best energy encountered on the big Island. We can’t wait to come back to this unique place that Bob, Kady & Lily have created. Mahalo for everything Bruce and Lee

Great sunrise getaway!
This cottage exceeded our expectations! Very cozy and well thought out. New mattress delivered for our last night and it was perfect. Very private location with views of the ocean to watch for whales and to enjoy the property and orchard. Nicely mowed lawns, very green with many flowers and palms and trees made for a beautiful place to wonder around, or just sit on the red bench and take it all it. We loved the sunrises and were out there every morning to enjoy the view and get recharged for the day. We've never had such a wonderful experience before! Wow. There's nice roads and trails to the ocean bluff to watch the waves hit the cliffs. We enjoyed our week there and was close enough "town" and the botanical gardens and volcanoes, so it worked well. Bob and his wife and dog Lilly were gracious and responsive. Thanks for a great place to stay!

Pepe’ekeo hideaway
Bob and Kady Smith are gracious, generous people…just lovely hosts. The residence is truly remarkable, with breathtaking views of the ocean and Mauna Kea. Bob pointed us in the direction of all the sites along the Hamakua Coast. The property, just 10 miles north of Hilo, is near Akaka Falls and the 4 mile scenic route with the tropical botanical garden - the best we have ever seen. The residence is gated within Bob & Kady’s fruit farm. It is clean with a large living area with kitchen/dining, nice bedroom, and excellent bathroom with large walk in shower. Excellent one week experience that we would love to do again!

Beautiful sojourn in the Hawaiian countryside
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! The property was spotless. And we could come and go as we needed with a gate opener. The kitchen was well equipped and the grill outside let us cook all our meals easily. The host even dropped off some citrus fruits for us, and had a great guide book available for our use. Finally, we had fun playing with Lily the Border Collie. All in all, it was a lovely and relaxing stay.

About the host

Hosted by Bob and Kady

Host profile image
We, proprietors Bob & Fa Jung (Kady), live in a separate home on the property as well as host the private cottage. Retired, we spend our days on our property doing what we love, being in the beautiful outdoors and farming. We have a cat, Skunky, and our border collie, Lily, who is strictly an outside dog.

Why they chose this property

As a third generation Southern Californian, I knew there was only one place I could move. My wife, Kady, originally from Taiwan by way of New York and California, was of the same mindset. So we searched the islands as retirement beckoned.

What makes this property unique

We settled on the windward side of the Big Island because of its climate, country setting, and people.

We never dreamed we'd find such a wonderful place as what we call the Sun & Moon Orchard. So much so we want to share it with those who come to the Island looking for something not found among ordinary Hawaii travel plans.
