Big Island Getaway

Pahoa

Situated just 12 km from Lava Tree State Monument, Big Island Getaway provides accommodation in Pahoa with access to a garden, barbecue facilities, as well as bicycle parking. This homestay features free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace. Chris and fur-baby Roxy are excellent hosts, and the ohana was perfect for my husband and my two-night stay. It is centrally located in Pahoa town, making it convenient to run errands either to the village center or to Hilo town. The home is a shared accommodation, which was a first for us. There was another couple staying for one night, and they were very nice and kept to themselves. Chris is very personable and easy to be around, whether you want to hang out and chat, or just chill by yourself and read. Roxy is a beautiful, well-behaved Carolina dog, and for us, a joy to have around.

Private Ohana on the lush Hamakua coast with AC

Honokaa

Located in Honokaa and only 46 km from Hapuna Golf Course, Private Ohana on the lush Hamakua coast with AC provides accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated guest house features a building dating back to 2016, which is 27 km from the Waimea Park. Outdoor dining is also possible at the guest house. 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.

Off-Grid Getaway with Ocean Views in Paradise

Pahoa

The homestay specialises in an à la carte and American breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. In the warmer months, you can make use of the barbecue facilities and dine on the private patio. The porch and view are amazing. The big double doors that open from the living area were wonderful. There were toys and games for the kids. I would recommend this stay to anyone, especially families.
