An absolute perfect, relaxing Hideaway
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.

Haven in Honoka’a
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.

Heaven
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!!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Gion

Host profile image
My husband and myself, have owned our own business for the last 45 years. We have owned this property since 1989, and finally made the decision to move from Oahu to this beautiful island, and continue our small business but in a healthier environment. We love living on the Big Island, the people, the beauty, the space with lots to do. We are hoping to share a little bit of Aloha with our future visiting friends.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in 1989, because of the location, nature, the lush green vegetation, and the serene environment, with a little country feel, but still not far from the surrounding towns, for activities, shopping, hiking, beautiful beaches. We work in the Kohala Coast area, 2 days a week, and this allows us to enjoy all that this part of the Hamakua Coast has to offer. Within minutes you can be at the beach or viewing the many beautiful waterfalls that the Hamakua Coast has to offer. It is truly a nature lovers paradise.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this property, because of it's private location and beautiful trees, not to mention the adorable cottage, which we refurbished, before moving over from Oahu, in the year 2002. We added a new bathroom, new windows, a deck, a spa, a gas fireplace, it's very cozy and unique. We have 3 acres of a lush garden setting, beautiful lawn, lots of native plants, fruit trees, vegetable garden. We are approximately 5 minutes from Kalopa State Park, where you can take a leisurely walk and get in touch with nature. We are also a 4 minute drive or 20 min. walk to the Hawaiian Vanilla Company, that offers daily teas and lunches, and also tours of the vanilla farm. If you are looking for a romantic, cozy getaway, this is the place.
