Mahana House Country Inn 4 stars

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. The setting is amazing. We stayed in one of the cottages and watch the sunrise in the morning from our lanai. At night one only hears the birds and the quiet. We also had fresh picked oranges and longan fruit as well as avocados from the orchards on the property. Location is good for exploring the east side of Hawaii Island including Waipo Valley, several waterfalls (don't miss Akaka falls) Hilo and the volcano.

Phoenix Garden

Pahoa

The guest house is fitted with 2 bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and an oven, and 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower, bathrobes and a washing machine. This guest house also features a balcony that doubles up as an outdoor dining area. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and laundry service. Peace, tranquility, outdoor space and the personal expression of the owner, River, are present in the details throughout the home. All of the finish work and treatments were created and installed by River and are done in tasteful, sustainably sourced and beautifully executed environment. If you’d like an exceptional massage, Sylvie Gendron, in the neighborhood, can send you into transcendent, blissful relaxation. A walk to “the lawn” provides ocean viewing opportunities and on Sunday evening a spontaneous drum circle, ecstatic dance and community gathering of all generations. An incredible experience of community, expression and humanity in a serene, extraordinary setting. Wednesday nights at Uncle’s is another locals hangout with good food, locally talented musicians and a sense of connection greater than our immediate sense. This is a place which isn’t trying to be something it is not. Be your authentic self, engage in the neighborhood with grace, dignity and respect and be rewarded with a deeply experienced lifestyle and respite from the busyness of life. Peace resides here, leave your stress behind and allow the surroundings to quiet your internal noise. We’re already planning our next visit.
