Mahana House Country Inn

North Hilo

Situated just outside of Hakalau, 20 km from Hilo, Mahana House Country Inn is a non-smoking property and features ocean views, free WiFi access, and free private parking.

The nearest airport is Hilo Airport, 20 km from Mahana House Country Inn. Simply one of the best places worldwide we ever visited. There was fresh fruit and avocado in the fridge everyday and you are welcome to stroll around on the premises and pick any of the seasonal fruits. We ate lychee e.g. directly from the tree. It's a must if you visit big island and like to be in the less crwoded countryside.

Plumeria Cottage

Kailua-Kona

With free WiFi, this guest house provides a cable flat-screen TV and a fully equipped kitchenette with a dishwasher and microwave. Towels and bed linen are provided in the guest house. The accommodation offers an air conditioning, a heating and a private bathroom. This is a fantastic property to base yourself from and explore Kailua/kona and surrounding areas. The hosts have very thoughtfully kitted out and prepared the accommodation. The bed is very comfortable, the shower is spacious, the kitchen area pretty well kitted out, and has a comfortable lounge area. If you’re looking to prepare lots of your own meals, know that this property doesn’t have an oven and only a single ring hob, toaster plus microwave. Also if you’re looking for panoramic views from a balcony or similar, this cottage is tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood just a short hop from Ali’i drive and you’d have to pay substantially more for those kind of views. The hosts were super responsive to mail questions and all in all I’d highly recommend this cottage.

Overall a fantastic stay - mahalo!! 😊

For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. Everything was great. Well maintained, clean and an excellent location to explore the north side of the island from. The hosts are friendly and have things nicely arranged and extra items for use such as folding chairs for outdoors, a beach umbrella and a small cooler. If we come back to the big island any time in the future we’d definitely stay here again.
