Wonderful spot
I loved how authentic this country location is. That said, if you are a person that cannot survive w o AC or TV it may not be for you. For myself, I loved the chance to get away from all the (noise) of the outside world and truly experience the lovely grounds of this fabulous location. Rooms are screened in so all the wondeeful sights and sounds of nature may be experienced. There are fans if you need and our room had a lovely outdoor shower. It also had a table where you could take in the sunset and ocean views. Perfect for people that appreciate nature and its beauty. Staff was very nice and friendly. Amazing coffee and fresh fruit each morning.

I can't say enough good things about Dragonfly. We only stayed a night unfortunately but planning to come back already (checked out a few hours ago). The owner is super friendly and interesting. We felt welcomed from the second we set foot in the property. The vibe is new age but it's very low key. You can absorb the vibe or ignore it. Breakfast included an interesting assortment of fruit, coffee, tea, toast and yogurt with chia seeds. Everything organic. The Dolphin Room had everything we needed. Giant comfortable bed. Outdoor bathroom but screened and private. It's not the Hilton (thankfully) and not for everyone but if it's what you're looking for then it's perfect. Sounds of nature abound. Peaceful energy that nurtures the soul. And again I have to emphasize if the new age vibe doesn't appeal then you can easily ignore it. Please don't let that put you off. Come and enjoy.

We loved our 2 nights in the writers studio & stay at Dragonfly Ranch. Barbara has created such a healing and welcoming atmosphere in this open air, climbing communal treehouse wonderland. Friendly & laid back staff, great communal kitchen & deck with ocean views. The Illuminarium…just lovely. It’s jungle living at its best & I’m certain we’ll return.

Property was in a quiet, rural area in a beautiful jungle like setting. Host conveyed a relaxed atmosphere within a rustic bed and breakfast environment. Worried lack of air conditioning would be a problem, but the cool ocean air combined with chirping of insects and birds had me asleep withing minutes each night.

I stayed in the Writer's Studio room, which was a unique experience. The windows are screened but not glassed in, so you get to enjoy copious fresh air, the sounds of a delightful babbling fountain and the resident coquis, and the comfortable temperature of the landscaped property at the Dragonfly Ranch. (Earplugs are provided for those who are not lulled to sleep by the sounds of nature.) I wish I could have availed myself of Barbara's healing services, but I arrived late and had to leave early for a dive trip. I missed the breakfast, but its description made me wish my dive trip started an hour later! I hope to return next year and perhaps stay longer to get the full experience.

An aerie in the sky over Kona
Dragonfly is a unique place in Kona, with exceptional people running the facility, which was created by the founder 50 years ago! It doesn’t fit into any conventional thinking about hotels and they have a great upper deck with a fantastic view that would be fabulous for yoga. It is close to many sites but you have to be comfortable with the unconventional, including some frogs!
The founder, Barbara, and one of the resident dogs on the last day!
It really does keep going up!
Inside the breakfast lair!
Outside on the guest deck. There is a second guest deck and kitchen!

What a magical experience to stay here! Aunty Barbara and her team were filled with aloha, kindness and made our visit unforgettable. And all the fur babies made me not want to leave. We left rejuvenated and our hearts full. Mahalo nui!

Barbara and her staff are absolutely the kindest people on earth! Their description of their ranch is exactly as they say. We got to live with nature but all the elements of a very upscale ranch. It was holistic, peaceful and nurturing for the soul. This is NOT a place for people looking for a pedicure. This is a place for healing and time within and reflection. My husband says it’s “simple and spiritual.” We have backpacked and hiked all over the islands and this place was such a gem to us. More like the hippie oasis and soul searchers retreat.
