Hale Kawehi BnB Guesthouse

This was an amazing house, with about 4-5 rooms all to ourselves. There was full kitchen and cooking facilities, and some snacks and cooking materials (milk, sauces, etc) had been left for us to use. Each room was an Aladdin's cave of souvenirs and oddities, attached to the wall or ceiling. There was an amazing little garden, with a pond, which had some very noisy frogs in it. There was veranda and porch, so we could sit outside and have a drink. It was like living in a hobbit house or something out of a fairy tale, and made the experience truly magical. Shops were a 20min walk or 5min drive away, but once shopping was done there was a huge fridge to store it all in. All mod cons were there, TV, aircon (in the bedroom), shower, wifi, etc. There was even a cheap laundry service with 24h return. It also had a free covered off-road parking space. If you want somewhere to stay that is truly memorable, stay here. It beats a boring hotel any day!

I love this charming spacious home. It was conveniently located close to downtown and other amenities (farmers market, cafes, grocery stores, restaurants, etcetera) with allocated free parking. The home was well equipped with an array of potential needs we may have had as travelers (e.g., beach towels, shampoo, cooler for picnics). They also provided plenty of information about the area which we found very helpful because Hilo was our base to explore Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, the Hamakua Coast and Volcano National park. They also provided cultural literature which we appreciated because for us this was also a cultural trip. Overall, this was an excellent location (safe and quiet) to explore other areas.

Es war eine voll eingerichtete Wohnung. Viel Deko überall. Machte es nett, aber auch irgendwie voll. Ich hatte leichte Probleme mich dort mit meinen Sachen/Reisegepäck zu integrieren, weil überall etwas herumstand oder herumlag. Das angepriesene Frühstück war etwas übertrieben dargestellt, es gab Kaffee und für 4 Nächte ein paar kleine Sachen, die man auch zum Frühstück verzerren konnte, aber es war halt kein Frühstück. Alles in allem aber eine nette, wenn auch gewöhnungsbedürftige Unterkunft in Hilo. Sehr nette Terasse zum draußen sitzen mit Blick in einen schönen Garten. Sehr viele Coqui Frösche. Da kann mal nach gegoogelt werden :)

The property was quaint and very cute with all the necessary things and very upto date details on everything

Big surprise. The house is like staying in a family home surrounded by beautiful cuckoo clocks and other items of a long lost past. Magic garden.
