Property Description

This hidden gem, nestled amongst lush greenery in Paauilo Mauka, offers a peaceful refuge during your Big Island adventures. Our two-bedroom, garden apartment is situated on the ground level of the historic Main House at Keolamauloa Homestead. With a private entrance, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom overlooking ferns and the pond below, this retreat has everything you need. Each bedroom has a double-size bed, and one includes the soothing sound of a small waterfall outside. A pull-out couch can accommodate an additional 1-2 guests. The cozy living room is stocked with books on Hawaiian culture and botany and includes a propane fireplace for cool evenings.

Please note that the apartment is accessed via a sidewalk that includes several steps, and there are also a few steps inside, including a shower/bath combo that requires stepping in. These features may be considerations for guests with mobility concerns.

Wake up to the sounds of birds in the surrounding native O’hia, Kukui, and Koa trees, relax in our Japanese-style wood soaking tub, take a cool dip in our pond, or lie on the grass under the sun. In the evening, you might enjoy the firepit while listening to tree frogs and crickets and stargazing in the backyard.

Keolamauloa will welcome you home, whether you've taken a stroll in our rural neighborhood, explored nearby Kalopa State Park and historic Honoka’a town, or ventured out to Kohala, Kona, Hilo, or Volcano.
