Enjoy A Delicious Breakfast Each Morning
More than a Bed and Breakfast, this upscale Swiss Family Robinson-style getaway caters to a kinder, gentler tourist looking for beauty, authenticity, good health, and heartfelt FUN. Near the ancient Pu'uhonua O Honaunau (Place of Refuge) on the Big Island of Hawaii's sunny Kona Coast, this "spiritually correct country club" is a modern day sanctuary in the monkeypod trees. It is ideal for romantics, families, individuals, groups, honeymooners and wedding parties.
Breakfast in the main house includes healthy, hot cereal such as amaranth, quinoa, oatmeal with assorted toppings such as toasted pecans, sunflower seeds, walnuts, raisins and golden flax seed, fresh homegrown organic fruit (like apple bananas and strawberry papayas); wheat-free granola and waffles; sprouted grain bread. We offer an assortment of teas and Dragonfly Goddess organically grown Kona coffee--as well as the finest decaffinated coffee. You can share breakfast with us or enjoy it in your private quarters--whichever is your wish.

Tropical Paradise
Blessed with an ideal location, this peaceful country estate is near the ancient Place of Refuge National Historical Park and five beautiful bays. The Kona Coast is an ocean-lover's paradise (with Spiner dolphins, tropical fish, coral, turtles and whales) -- where people are full of Aloha and time is slow and easy. The elevation is ideal (about 700 feet) and the temperature is almost always 72 degrees with lots of sunshine, very little wind, and limited rain.
Free spirited adventurers may wish to attend or lead workshops/retreats at the Dragonfly. Individuals, families or groups are invited to come here and relax, rejuvenate and restore creative energies.
Offering an exotic taste of the un-spoiled Hawaii, this Healing Arts Retreat is a tropical eco and agtourism center perfect for small groups as well as Bed and Breakfast guests. In our upscale Swiss-Family-Robinson style indoor/outdoor expansion mansion, we have three unique suites and two rooms--all for nature-lovers.* We offer a rich experience of living "inside the outdoors."
Those of us here at the Dragonfly are having a good time exploring our creative talents, sharing common goals, music, laughter and love. We welcome you to join us. We wish for our guests to feel comfortably "at home."
We invite interested guests to learn about local culture/agriculture and Hawaiian healing arts. Perhaps you want to get your hands in the soil helping us develop a self-sustaining garden using ancient Hawaiian agricultural practices combined with permaculture. Permaculture Aloha Aina (love of the land) teaches us to give to the land before taking from the land. For those who wish to swim with dolphins, we gladly guide you to nearby bays where we familiarize you with respectful "dolphin etiquette."
Welcome to our home from the friendly Dragonfly Ohana and Barbara "Kenonilani" Moore,
steward of the land, and soul proprietor of the Dragonfly.
This beautiful country estate offers many scenic views of the ocean. Without a house in sight as one looks down at the sea, grazing land provides an idyllic buffer of privacy. On the dry, sunny side of the Big Island, at an ideal elevation of 600 feet, the temperature is usually about 72 degrees year round with little wind and only moderate rainfall - enough to keep everything green. It's a 3-minute drive to the Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historic Park, 10 minutes to Kealakekua Underwater Sea Life Preserve, and 15 minutes to Ho'okena Beach Park, a lovely sandy cove. These areas are famous for an abundance of playful dolphins and the finest snorkeling in all of Hawaii. For your convenience, The Dragonfly provides towels and rents snorkel gear, wet suits and life vests. We offer guided tours for Dragonflyers who often experience the indescribable joy of having friendly, wild turtles and dolphins swim with them in these beautiful bays.
