Directions

From Waimea:

Out of Waimea take highway 19 headed west until you come to the junction of highway 19 and 250 ( the Kohala Mountain Road) travel approximately 19 miles until you see the sign pointing left “Hawi 2 miles” head down the hill until you come to the stop sign (in front of the Minit Stop gas station). Turn right and go down the hill where the speed limit is 25 MPH. Travel about two tenths of a mile until you see the 35 MPH sign. Turn right just before it and your on a gravel road. Almost immediately you will have 3 driveways choices. Take the middle road. There is a sign that says Kokolulu Farm and Retreats. Go up that road about 100 yards and take your first and only left. There is another sign that says Kokolulu Farm and Retreats. Just inside that opening is another sign on a rock pillar that spells out Kokolulu. Go up that driveway to the top and you have arrived.

Just as you leave Hawi, where the speed limit is ABSOLUTELY 25 MPH, go pass the last row of homes (maybe ¼ mile) and you will come to the 35 MPH sign on your right, mauka (“mauka” means “towards the mountain” and “makai” means “ocean side”).
