Aloha! WELCOME TO OUR HOME.
There are a few places in the world that seem to demand that you just let yourself go, unbend and soar with the wind. Relax in the comfort of nature. Beautiful Edge of the World is one of these places. Tickle the eyes, spark the imagination, remember what nature and being is all about. After spending time at A Beautiful Edge of the World, you'll feel you've discovered one of the truly special spots on Earth.
Edge of the World
As the name implies, this is the edge of the world. You can view down into Kealakekua Bay where James Cook met his demise in the late 1700's and easily imagine his awe of this island and the natives' awe of him and his ship. Five acres offers the quietude one should expect in such a beautiful setting. Tropical fruit trees are there for your picking, and macadamia nut trees and coffee plants are there for my picking, but you can help if you want to. There's also a tree house in the ever-being-built stage perched in a mango tree for the young and young at heart who really want to get away.
South Kona is known for its rural flavor. People who live here call it the REAL Hawaii - as opposed to the hustle and bustle of Waikiki or the resorts to the north. Be sure to let me know your special interests (whale watching, kayaking, volcano watching, scuba, etc.) so that I can help you build them into your stay on the Big Island.
As you will find, there is much to do on the Big Island, or, what we call, the "real Hawaii.". A large portion of our guests are return "customers" who come back to the Edge year after year. Many people use the Edge of the World as a base from which to explore the rest of the Big Island. Others use it as a place to snorkel, hike, play golf, birdwatch, build sand castles, or just watch papaya grow, and that's fine too. For Kana, my Japanese wife, and me, it is a genuine pleasure to meet folks from around the U.S. and from around the world.
Aloha, Dr. Kurt Weigelt
- Location
- Captain Cook, 12 miles south of Kailua-Kona, at the perfect 1000 ft level. Not too hot, not too cold, and almost certainly sunny. Incredible sweeping coastline and bay views. Five minutes drive to fine restaurants, ten minutes to some of the finest ocean activities imaginable.
DIRECTIONS
Here are the directions for getting here from the Kona airport.
The Edge of the World is about 19 miles from Keohole (Kona) airport.
Turn right on Rte. 19, which becomes Rte. 11 after Kailua-Kona town. You'll pass the Manago Hotel (between 110 and 109 mile markers) on your right as you enter the small town of Capt. Cook. On your left you'll pass the fire station, post office, and Kealakekua Ranch Center. Two streets past the Kona Theater, (the first street is Anoi Place) maybe half a mile, you will make a right turn. (This turn is about 200 yeards BEFORE the 109 mile marker.) At that intersection you will see a one foot by six foot wooden sign saying "McCoy Plantation." Turn right there and remain on that road for the next two tenths of a mile (Don't drive down Coffee Drive.)(Please drive slowly from here to the Edge, as roads are narrow and visability poor.) After two tenths you will see a small one foot by two foot sign with the number 82-5899, a two foot square sign that says "Hale Mauka" (not us but a good turning landmark), and a white circle about two feet in diameter painted on the road. Turn right there (it looks kind of like a driveway) and proceed down a narrow, lush (almost jungle-like, without elephants and tigers) road for two tenths of a mile. You will pass two houses on your right, just keep going straight ahead, down a hill, up a hill and out of the lushness with coffee plants on your left and a small pasture on your right. When the pasture (and a low stone wall) end, you will turn right down the first cement driveway. You'll also see a six foot long white arrow painted in the road, and a small sign that says "Edge". It's a long driveway of about 400 feet, Don't stop at the first house on the right, or the second on the left which has a large green roof, just keep going until you come to The Edge of the World, where you'll see a very small sign. You'll see a modern looking two story structure, upper floor is redwood with white roof, and the lower level is beige stucco. If you feel confused, just give me a call (328-7424) and I will be happy to meet you at the Manago Hotel or the Capt. Cook Post Office, as they are only a five minute drive from our bed and breakfast. If you arrive at night, it might be a good idea just to let us meet you and show you the way. Good luck! (Please remember to copy and bring these directions.)
Directions from the South
From the south, you'll be seeing mile markers indicationd the distance from Hilo on the side of the road. Approximately 100 yards after the 109 mile marker turn left (this is the first left after the 109 mm and also where you will find the McCoy Plantation sign). The rest is the same as from the north.
