We had a delicious homemade breakfast. The view from the porch is beautiful and we heard sounds of nature.
We had the most charming stay and couldn’t recommend more - we were just sad we couldn't stay longer! Barbara is a wonderful host, the breakfast is organic and delicious, the views are gorgeous, and the grounds are truly magical. It’s perfect for families who love nature but also comfy beds and running water! We will be back for sure and next time we’ll stay longer :-)
This is the perfect place for anyone who wants to stay in a jungle away from it all. The windows are screens and in the Hawaiian heat it feels like glamping.
And the breakfasts and staff are wonderful too.
The National park is very close and we visited multiple times to enjoy hiking, beaches, and the historical elements. The snorkelling/swimming area was also very busy.
And the ranch offered snorkel gear and other things to make sure you could make the most of your time there!
A very unusual place not a Holiday Inn so don’t stay there if that’s what you are looking for. Staff is great chat in kitchen while cutting up fresh fruit. Knowledgeable about local places and customs. Never slept so good ocean breeze fresh rain and frog singing
A great place to stay - very calm and serene ambiance with beautiful views. Very good and healthy breakfast. Very hospitable and helpful staff who are very friendly. I will definitely stay there again. Thanks to all for a great experience!
We were in the Lomi Lomi room and I loved the view of the ocean from it. The room has a unique decor that makes the experience even better. The bed was cozy and clean. There is also a comunal kitchen and fridge just putside the room.
Breakfast was wonderful! Don’t be in a hurry! I was leary when I arrived in the dark…but fell in love with the place in the daylight! It was a great adventure! No glass windows…only screens. The frogs were loud…but slept so good! If you like noise machines, you will love it! The bedroom had a fan if needed. They had beach equipment to borrow if wanted. A wonderful snorkeling spot was next to the National Park…just a few miles from the Dragonfly Ranch. The ocean view was amazing! Barbara (and her staff) was a great hostess!

The breakfast food was healthy and good. The bathroom facilities are quaint - toilet and shower in one space - outside the room. Watch for a frog in the toilet! It did have an ocean view from the dining area. Very fun place if you're into alternative lifestyles. Enjoyed seeing the outdoor areas - garden, illuminarium, paths, many neat plants and trees. The frog and geko chorus at night would have kept me awake if I didn't use ear plugs. Good experience for one night!

The room decor is very unique and full of history. The back yard is full of surprises with nature and even a forest movement studio! Stuff are very friendly and easy to talk to. The owner herself is nice to chat with. Breakfast is included and delicious and healthy! We love this place!!
Its a lovely place in a great location in respect to being near the water and also part way to the park...excellent host..nice fresh breakfast every morning..nature lovers paradise
My wife and I had a wonderful time at the Dragon Fly ranch. Barbara and her team are some of the most accommodating and friendly group of individuals I met on the big island.

Lomi Lomi Room. It was a surprise to see a large one-room studio. Soaker bath with shower curtains in L/R area. Two walls with only screens but secure and relatively private. No A/C but efficient fans. Supplied earplugs were needed to block frog and bird and fountain noises, but I'm a light sleeper so kinda loud for me. I'm glad the recent storm didn't hit the property. That might have made the room inhospitable. But a pleasant stay away from the crowds in Kailua Kona. A bit of a drive from town - almost an hour to the airport with our 4:30 am. start.
