Situated in North Hilo, 2.6 km from Kolekole Beach Park, Mahana House Country Inn features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and barbecue facilities. This 4-star inn offers a shared kitchen, a concierge service and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located 22 km from The Pacific Tsunami Museum. We stayed at Mahana House for two nights and absolutely loved it. The cottage was beautiful and incredibly comfortable — the bed even had adjustable firmness settings! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and there was a laundry room where we could wash and dry our clothes for free. The cat was adorable, and for the first time, my husband changed his opinion about cats — he actually liked this one! Randy takes great care of the orchard, and the longans were delicious. We truly appreciated the peaceful surroundings — it was perfect for mindfulness and relaxation. We shared photos on Instagram, and so many of our friends are now planning to visit too! It’s about a 15-minute drive from Hilo town, so having a car is necessary — but totally worth it. This place is truly a dream stay. Highly recommended!

We had our room booked but the very capable manager gave us a choice of two rooms so we were very comfortable in a room with a beautiful forest outlook. Great memories!

The guest house has a cable flat-screen TV. The kitchenette comes with a dishwasher, a microwave and a toaster and there is a private bathroom with a hair dryer and free toiletries. The property offers quiet street views. What a beautiful and cozy accommodation. We enjoyed our stay from the very first minute and would love to come back. The apartment has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. We especially appreciated the beach equipment (chairs and umbrellas) and the provision of drinking water by the owners. We highly recommend the accommodation.
