Fodor's Review:
You'll have a choice between three rooms in the "castle" -- the turreted main house dating from 1899 -- or two rooms in a separate cottage. The B&B is on 5 1/2 verdant acres on Reed's Island; the house is furnished with antique koa and period pieces, some dating from the days when Queen Liliuokalani came to tea. On Tuesday night, an authentic hula school practices Hawaii's ancient dances in the house. Barbara (part of the Shipman family) and her husband Gary are friendly hosts with a vast knowledge of the area and the rest of the island; they're also excellent cooks, which means you should try absolutely everything at breakfast.
