To Bobi,

We loved our stay and enjoyed walking around your farm. We have seen three Geckos and captured one tiny baby. Today we walked down Waipio Valley, (25%, two miles.) I felt like I had just finished the Ironman at the very end! When we got to the beach there were four adult horses, one yearling and a foal! We got to pet all of them and the foal kept nuzzling me. I fed it a baby carrot. He or she was following me after that! Thank you. Mahalo, We thank you for the beautiful landscape and cute dogs and cats. Aloha! Mahalo,  Sabine

Bobi, I was looking for a place to introduce my daughter to Hawaii that would not be like the typical tourist experience. Visiting you was perfect. It was so nice; fall asleep to wind, wake up to birds. Real things like quiet and real people not pandering to tourists, nice for a pair of tourists to see what it would be like to live here. Instead of surrounded by people like us, we are surrounded by people like you. Sabine snorkeled in Kapa'a, Hiked Waipio, now off to Volcano. She is seeing the kind of Hawaii I wanted her to see. Thank you, David

Bobi, Thank you for letting us set up our tent at your beautiful home. We hope to return soon. Being at yor place was one of the nicest things we've done in Hawaii. We hope that this place full of positive energy stay forever as it is. Gracious y Esperamos volver a este lugar que es mas onparaiso que ona casa. Alicia y Camilio

Bobi, Thank you for your hospitality during our stay as we end our seven day bicycle tour of the island. For others doing this circuit, we highly recommend allowing "lay over" days to enjoy the local towns & this wonderful Guesthouse of yours. Your family was gracious to help us get to two fabulous dinners in Hawi: The Bamboo and Sushi Rock. For other visitors, don't miss John Keawe playing guitar or the fabulous vistas at Pololu Valley. It was worth the extra bike ride down there! Leslie & Todd Everett Berkeley CA

 "Peace and quiet.. nothing but the sounds of the birds, the wind, and the rain.. the lush green country views.. exactly the getaway we needed." RM Kailua Kona, Hi.

"We're back! What a great trip we just took with mules above Pololu ! The valley is peaceful and powerful at the same time. What a terrific guide! His love of the valley and love of his work comes through! We feel like we've received from the heart of Hawaii to our hearts." Jim and Lisa (honeymooners for life)

Kohala Country Adventures is truly a paradise. I adore your lovely gardens. Being here has brought me peace and tranquility and I will return! A.P,Ca

Bobi is a co-devotee of my life philosophy: "Brighten the corner of your day." Henry L.(92 years young)Professor Emeritous of Psychology, SFSU

Why should we travel 2500 miles across the sea for a vacation when hidden treasures like Kohala Country Adventures are right in our "backyard". Fa'afetai hava! Alicia and Roy Oahu, Hi.

A wonderful way to start the New Year. Thank you for sharing your home and gardens. We enjoyed the Swiss-family Riobinson feel of the unique rooms,gathering places and grounds. Our three families had privaate space. Thank you ,too, for your suggestions of things to see and do in the area.We loved the shops,galleries, and restaurants. We certainly did our best to support the local economy! The Kreisman Family, Oregon and Minnesota

Hey Bobi, If you want a beautiful setting, gentle breezes and generous smiles, this is where you come. If you look close, even the lizards are smiling. Thanks, Bob and Joni

"This place is like an oasis in the midst of all the stretching land on the Big Island...and so are you, personally, Bobi. May God multiply the rest He's provided through you to so many people, and bless you with a true rest in Him, no matter how busy you are, and a peace that will both emanate from you as well as direct your heart." L.T. Connecticut

Bobi, Dave, et al, We're glad you made space in your home for two adventuresome tandem cyclists: We felt more like extended family than strangers passing through. God has blessed you and us. Gary and Sally

Mahalo, Bobi. Just what we were looking for..a delightful place in the country to relax and just be us. Thanks for guiding us on the hiking trips to the Falls and the Lighthouse, and directing us to the Full Moon Concert on the beach at Mauna Lani..an experience of a lifetime! We'll be back and will bring friends! Isabela and Jerry, Kailua, Oahu

March,05 How can I ever thank you enough to let you know how much I appreciated your kindness, friendliness and the effort you put forth to make my two weeks with you so pleasant for me.
