Almost very amenity was included on the property and the decorations were seamless ( everywhere and always appropriate) and interesting. In the interests of improving the property for the guests' use, I would have liked to see included two suitcase stands instead of one and a designated closet for hanging clothes and a designated cupboard or table for toothbrush, hairbrush, cosmetics, etc. to be ready at hand.The garden plantings were truly beautifully orchestrated. Thank you. Also loved the automatic gate to the property.

This 1 bedroom cottage tucked away on the east central part of the Big Island was perfect for a get away. There's a large deck surrounded by lush tropical plantings and the spa is a wonderful touch. The cabin has a gas fireplace for cool evenings. There is no AC, but the nights cool with windows open and the voices of Hawaiian critters make for a lovely concert.

Nice well kept cottage, private. We enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed the sound of coqui frogs at night and roosters in the morning.

The cottage was a wonderful place to call home for a week. It was our base for hiking, fishing, and volcanoes. Everything was close enough to get to - Hilo and Kona were both easy. Coming home to the sound in the forest was the best part. Being in the hot tub with a glass of wine and watching the stars. Perfect. We wish we could have stayed longer.Having our own personal apple banana delivery person (AKA Leonard) was a treat. Thanks for letting us stay.

If you want to experience the real Big Island, see nature up close, and still have central access to all the sights, this cottage is for you! It was great for us as a couple who enjoys being slightly off the beaten path. We got to discover nearby Honoka'a and find amazing hikes and gardens on the Kohala Coast. Good access to Volcanoes NP and west side beaches aren't far. That hot tub was a great way to start or end the day. Inside has real charm and all the amenities needed. We definitely recommend it!

We had a peaceful retreat away from the hustle & bustle of a demanding business in California. We cooked local fish, had juicy Tangelos from the yard, took long hot tub soaks and rested. The nearby town of Honokaa had fresh food, gifts for our friends and family and people were friendly! The cottage was spotlessly clean! It was so easy! When we visit again, we will try to book this cottage! Mahalo for making our one year wedding anniversary, the special honeymoon we never had! The flowers, the beautiful yard and the fun gecko! Mahalo nut loa!

I got so very lucky to secure this stay, and was even more impressed the minute I arrived to the property. The accommodations were immaculate, everything laid out in good orderly fashion, easy to find and instructions to truly help you relax and enjoy the property. The area is very quiet with the perfect melody of tree frogs early in the evening. The property offered every accommodating play toy needed for the beach, towels, beach, chairs, swim fins, and masks. The kitchen is well equipped, where I cooked breakfast and dinner as I was out all during the day. Returning to the property in the early evening tired from hiking, the hot tub was a heaven sent luxury. Likewise, there is a gas burning iron fireplace, which truly made this cottage. Feel like my home away from home. I’m very grateful to the hosts for sharing a slice of their paradise very responsive. I will definitely recommend this property to all my friends and family visiting the west side of the big island.

Wonderful stay. Everything was perfect even the weather. Lovely, relaxing slice of paradise. Amazing grounds. Beautiful landscaping. Cozy, clean, cute and comfy ‘cabin in the woods’;) Even better than it looks in the pictures. Clean and relaxing hot tub to enjoy the evening sky.

Hale O’Makani was so much better than described and more beautiful than the photos. Centrally located, yet out of the hub-bub of the cities. Spent mornings with coffee in the deck and evenings watching the stars. After a session in the best hot tub we’ve ever been in, of course. The house is decorated with the coolest knickknacks,art works, and cool ephemera. Loved it all. We will definitely want to go back. Mahalo nui!!

Delightful cottage in the hills above Honoka'a! Peaceful and quiet; excellent location to explore the north end of the island.
