I stayed in the Jungle Penthouse for one night at the Dragonfly Ranch, and it was an unforgettable experience. Finding the ranch was easy, thanks to the clear directions. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, they also recommended various things to do and nearby restaurants, which enhanced my stay. The room itself was cozy and charming, equipped with A/C, fans, hot water, a comfortable bed, a sofa, and a mezzanine (though I didn't try the bed there). The kitchenette was a nice touch, as were the toilet and sink. The shower, separated from the room, added a unique touch to the experience. This isn't your standard hotel room, but that's what makes it special. It's a great place to connect with nature. The night sky was amazing, and the sounds of little frogs added to the ambiance. Breakfast was another highlight, with organic local fruits, great coffee, bread, eggs, and more, making it a perfect addition to staying at this place.

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.

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!

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.
