    Very unique experience…the short drive through the tropical like ravine to the house was stunning (and a bit scary, initially). Ed’s Bakery is an interesting local spot.

    1st floor room was nice. Coffee was good. Liked the available refrigerator allocation and dry good storage. Showering with rainwater is grand. The exchange helpers were pleasant and helpful, and two went the extra mile cleaning the coffee press....

The Hamakua Guesthouse is a Bed and Breakfast offering three guest rooms in the main house. We have an open air bathroom with a stunning rainfall shower. There is also a full covered outdoor kitchen and dining area to prepare meals in. We are located in "old Hawaii" on the legendary Hamakua Heritage Coast. It is about a 15-20 minute drive to downtown Hilo from the house.
I love being here on the Big Island and I know you will too. This is truly the place to be for adventure vacationing. Hiking, horseback riding, visiting waterfalls, ziplining, discovering hidden beaches, and taking in the breathtaking views are among a few of the activities you will enjoy here.
We are located 1 mile (20 minute walk) from the quaint town of Honomu Hawaii. It's shops, galleries, and zipline are often regarded as the best on the island.
