The Koi House is located in a quiet residential neighborhood 10 minutes away from the shops and restaurants of downtown Kailua-Kona and many nearby beaches. While our neighborhood is suburban, The Koi House sits at the edge of a nature reserve and is on a small private road, so it feels rural and tucked away. The Koi House is centrally located making it easy to access many destinations in Kona. The best parts of the Big Island are only accessible via car, so we recommend renting one for your visit. We are 25 minutes from the Kona International Airport, 10 minutes from grocery stores, and 5 minutes from Magic Sands Beach.
