Experience living Hawaiian-style!

This very Hawaiian-style home is so sweet! Antiques throughout, very clean, open-air screening surrounds, and lots of amenities: great Kona coffee, arrival croissants/pastries, comfy beds/pillows,etc. Very spacious. Wine available for a minimal charge. Great place to stay close to Hilo coastal area, and experience living there!

A place to discover with its antique decor and garden sanctuary . Use it as a base or sanctuary for discovering the East side of Hawaii. The delightful owner cares about helping you to have a fulfilling visit to an Island area she is proud of calling home.

Cute place

The place is filled with unique antique looking things. It provided everything we needed (fridge, kitchen and kitchen appliance) it was a very comfortable stay. The only negative thing I have to say was that the two days I stayed there, the weather was hotter than usual so sleeping at night was a little hard just because it was very warm. It helped with opening the windows and putting on two fans but It was pretty warm.

Surprisingly good

Really nice. Bedroom and bathroom has a private, locked door. Kitchen and living room are huge. Easy 20 minute walk to the waterfront shops. About a 45 minute drive to Volcsnoes National Park. Only negative is the outside noise. There's a barking dog next door (does not bark at night) and the birds/frogs make a racquet. That said, I slept fine, but the host does provide ear plugs if you have issues sleeping in noisy surroundings.

Very Nice Home-like Place

This is a really nice guesthouse with a kitchen, fridge, dining areas, multiple porches, plenty of sofas and recliners. The gardens are nice. The location is great, close to Hilo and close to a lot of attractions. Laundry service is available for a very nominal charge. The owner is very friendly and very knowledgable.

Stay here if you want to feel at home! :)

Hale Kawehi far exceeded our expectations! Unlike any hotel we could have stayed at, Hale Kawehi was like being at home! The house was spacious and the garden was beautiful. We had a little Japanese White Eye (bird) come visit us each morning as we ate our breakfast on the porch outside. Nighttime was very relaxing as well. We were able to enjoy a bit of TV in the living area which offered two big, cozy recliners and later fell asleep to the sounds of the frogs/nature in the bedroom. The kitchen has all sorts of dishes and utensils to use so you can make your own meals. Kawehi was a gracious host, respected our privacy, and even cored the fresh pineapple we picked up! There is no doubt in our minds that if we ever return to Hilo, this is where we plan to stay again!

staying in Hilo

We were warmly greet by the owner and she told many interesting stories about the Hawaiian culture. The space is large with several outdoor areas with comfortable seating and Hawaiian greenery. Everything that you need is available in the large open kitchen. The home is older with an older bathroom and single beds. But everything worked and it was very clean.

Great location for travelling

Owner was very obliging and bar a lack of lighting (owner explained there was an electrical fault which was under repair during our stay) this would have been a perfect stay. One of the reasons for visiting Hilo was to visit the Volcano parks and other sights and all were easily accessible by road from this location.
