The family-run working biodynamic ranch and farm is a rustic retreat set in the remote east end of the island, perfect for guests looking to enjoy the Friendly Isle’s stunning nature and experiencing a taste of Old Hawai‘i. Accommodations include short-term rental at the Sunrise Cottage or the historic lodge, rented as a 5- or 12-bedroom private offering. Built in 1935, the lodge features Balinese and Hawaiian wood furniture, a lava-rock fireplace, a yoga deck and an outdoor pool, along with a private chef for farm-to-table meals. Pu‘u O Hoku is committed to restoring the land through reforestation, sustainable farming and protecting wild spaces. The property is surrounded by 14,000 acres of protected land, making it the perfect destination for hiking, swimming and stargazing—after all, the ranch’s name means “Hill of Stars.”
