Spend a luxurious week experiencing "authentic" Hawaii!  This is a rare opportunity to live in a private, pristine Hawaiian rainforest at the cool elevation of 4,300' on the slopes of Mauna Loa, away from crowded beaches, but still within a 30 minute drive of coastal activities. This package is for one or two couples (property not suitable for children) for 7 nights in a completely remodeled plantation estate home which borders the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on Hawaii's Big Island.

Last year's successful bidder had this to say, "We had a wonderful time! The home is very beautiful and the setting is gorgeous. This was a perfect opportunity to experience natural Hawaii. The owner of the house wanted to make sure our trip was perfect, so he went to great lengths to help us build our itinerary. We wanted an adventure, so that's what he helped us schedule, but if you're looking for a restful getaway, this would be the place for you as well!"

The property includes an outdoor top-of-the-line Finnish sauna, outdoor and indoor jacuzzis, koi pond, vaulted ceilings, solid teak and other beautiful and sustainable woods throughout, four fireplaces, 2 acres of gardens, and 2.5 miles of incredible walking trails through this thousand-year-old private rainforest... including a grove of the largest 'Ohia trees in the state (over 30 feet in circumference and more than 110 feet high...this is the state tree of Hawaii, and these specimens are larger than the largest ones listed in the Hawaiian Agro forestry record book), thousands of giant Hapu'u tree ferns, and many other species of rare and endangered Hawaiian native plants and birds. Enjoy the forest, then relax indoors with very high end Eurotop beds (1 K, 1 Q), premium television (big screen, high definition, HBO, Showtime), high speed wireless internet, and lots of other amenities.

This package also includes admission to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, private winery tour and tasting at the wonderful, innovative Volcano Winery, dinner for four at the Big Island's top 5 star restaurant, the Kilauea Lodge, and a personal tour of the San Diego Zoo's state-of-the-art Endangered Hawaiian Bird Breeding facility...all less than a 10-15 minute drive from the plantation house.
