About:

Kauai Banyan Inn Backstory


We are John & Lorna Hoff, the owners of the Kauai Banyan Inn, a Kauai bed and breakfast Inn located a few minutes from sunny Poipu Beach. The Hoff “Hawaiian” adventure/experience began in 1963. After graduating from college John joined the Peace Corps and was assigned to serve in the Philippines. Peace Corp training took place in Hilo, Hawaii, which was his first experience with the Islands of Aloha.

When he returned from the Philippines he felt a desire to return to the Islands while working with his brother and father in construction. An opportunity was afforded John to return to Hawaii around the time pineapple companies were closing operations on Kauai. With a good portion of Kauai’s major economic activities being shut down, purchase of land in the late 60’s and early 70’s was attainable. Our combined efforts in purchasing the Kauai Banyan Inn property began in 1970 with a simple letter to one of the owners of the 10.5-acre parcel. An old banyan tree (thought to be hundreds of years old) “watched” over the property amidst weeds, junk cars, and overgrown hau bush.
