Good for a girls weekend
My friends and I had a good time here, comfy beds and nice warm house with all the things you need and more. Some TLC required around the house plus new pool cues and darts are needed.

family holiday
we were a family of 5 adults staying 1 night.
communication and check in was excellent
The house was beautiful and clean the beds were comfortable.
It was exactly as advertised,we would have loved to stay longer.
The only thing that could be improved on is information on the use of the sauna

The Ohana home
ooh beautiful stay OHANA. Beautiful gem, so highly recommend The Ohana home. My children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews so enjoyed our stay/ time together at the Ohana home. It sure is a beautiful hidden gem. We were so entertained, snuggled up, and catering for a large group was a breeze, just like cleaning The Ohana home was a breeze too. Thoroughly luxurious stay. Easy to find - shout out to your community
