Yes, we would stay at Bwana Bobs again and would highly recommend them to anyone. Getting there requires good humor because it is at the end of a bumping road and you wonder what you will find at the end, but keep driving and you will arrive at their tropical paradise. The cottage were wonderful, the grounds amazing, and the hosts exceptional. No, they aren't on the beach, but boy am I glad we ended up there. They had two cottages available and we booked them. I found the site for Bwana Bobs and called them. I found Bwana Bobs because we were interested in being south of Kona for good snorkeling and I did a google search for lodging hear Captain Cook. However, we booked our trip late for Christmas this year and were unable to locate a beach rental. We usually try to book a home right on the beach. My husband and I travel all over Virgin Islands, Mexico, Hawaii, etc. Yes, my husband and I along with another couple, booked two cottages at Bwana Bobs this Christmas (2005). I can't imagine a more perfect getaway than we had, and we'll plan our next vacation around when they're available. The price is a fantastic deal, especially given the complete privacy, perfect views and free use of the (very high quality) beach towels, chairs, snorkel gear etc in the closet. Susan is great about helping you plan and has lots of wonderful ideas about where to eat and what to do nearby, and they're so inviting that they'll let you use the laundry in their house. The location is great in the middle of the Kona coffee belt, right up mountain from Place of Refuge and Kealakekua Bay. The pictures on their Web site are exactly what you'll see when you get there. Deciding where to be on the Big Island is a huge decision, given all the activities available there, but this place was the best choice we could have made! We were greeted every sunrise with birdcalls and a view of the Pacific beyond the stately papaya tree in their fantastic garden (which blooms somewhere year round and is full of neat geckos). We stayed at Bwana Bob's over Christmas 2005. Steve and Susan are super hosts, respecting your privacy but available for whatever you may need to make your stay a pleasant one. It’s a great bonus while you’re staying there and we order it regularly when we’re back home on the mainland. Besides developing and maintaining the beautiful gardens, he grows and roasts some of the best Kona coffee we have found. To top it all off, Steve is a fine plantsman. Susan has done a great job in collecting tropical furnishings and curios from all over the Pacific to decorate the interiors. They have done an excellent job in locating each one so it is totally private and sheltered from any of others while still offering great views of the beautiful grounds and spectacular coast and countryside. It’s quiet, secluded, exquisitely landscaped and maintained, and has a spectacular view of the coast.Įach of the three cottages they offer has it’s own unique decor and character. There may be nothing else on the island to quite match what the owners/hosts Steve and Susan have achieved with this property. The last time we stayed there was last year and it was our fifth visit. Of all the places we’ve stayed by far our favorite is Bwana Bob’s. We are longtime visitors to the Big Island, having first started going there more than 12 years ago.
