It’s an amazing place, it has everything you can expect and a view on the ocean. The room is large and well furnished. The location is great because not that far from Hilo and to visit the main attractions (hakalaka falls, rainbow falls, volcanoes NP…). The only issue was the noise from the frogs during the night, it seems it was the mating season.

The inn has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and we especially loved how cat-friendly it is. The adorable cats added a special charm to our stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable retreat!

The room was nestled in the rainforest, offering a beautiful environment. A group of friendly cats greeted us at the entrance. The kitchen was well-equipped, and there was also a laundry room. At night, we could hear the calls of coqui frogs outside the window, making us feel very close to nature. The location was very close to Akaka State Park, making it easy to visit the waterfalls. We truly wish we could have stayed a few more days.

I recently had a fantastic stay at this hotel and wanted to highlight one of the most memorable aspects: the adorable cats! Staying here with these charming feline companions was truly a unique and enjoyable experience. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with thoughtful details that made my stay pleasant.The host Randy were incredibly warm and welcoming, ensuring that I felt right at home. If you’re a cat lover or simply looking for a cozy and hospitable place to stay, I highly recommend this hotel. Thank you for making my stay so special! ps: My husband is allergic to cat hair, so I was quite concerned about his allergies before our stay. We even brought allergy medication with us. However, in reality, the room, including the bedding and towels, was very clean. My husband experienced no discomfort during our stay and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

CATS, CATS & MORE CATS. Counted at least seven and likely more. If you are allergic to cats you will suffer as other guests are letting them in the rooms. They are everywhere, large (>20 pounds) and very aggressive. They jump on your lap if you are in the outdoor recliner and if you open a plastic bag they rush you expecting a treat. Had to sleep in the car the second night due to allergies.

Spectacular property! Owners gave us so many helpful tips and advice for the things we had planned and restaurants to go. The cats were SUCH a delight and the views and ambience of the place are amazing. Would highly recommend this place for a Hilo stay if you are looking for a place away from the city and in a tropical area. Thank you both for this stay!

Good find on Hamakua Coast
Perfect location along the beautiful Hamakua Coast! So lush and green. We can not stayed one night but right away I could tell this would be a good place to use as home base for a longer stay. The unit was perfectly appointed and the patio very relaxing with great views. The common area looks excellent, although we didn’t use. Some interesting books I would have liked to sit around and read. Short stay but I liked it.

Mahana House was a lovely, well-appointed lodging. The room was very spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the comfy robes, lanai for morning coffee and evening cocktails, and the yummy fruit we picked on the farm. The shared kitchen and laundry had everything we might have overlooked. We even enjoyed fresh homemade banana bread from the housekeeper, Val. We grabbed a cooler and beach towels for day trips. We were able to do laundry before leaving. The nearest restaurants were back in Hilo, but the drive was easy and scenic. If you are looking for a relaxing, comfortable place to stay, then Mahana House will be perfect for you.

This property was beautiful, quiet and the staff is amazing. Its a little drive to Hilo but worth it. So much to see and do in the area. They also have a book in the room that is a wealth of information about the area. It is available to buy and we advise to get a copy. We highly recommend cottages to anyone traveling to the area.

We stayed 3 nights @ the cottage. The property is well kept, the room is spotless, very nice decoration. The room looked exact like in the pictures. You can watch the sunrise from your beautiful patio. You can cacth those birds singing if you are an early morning person. We will definitely stay here again if we revisit the island.

Perfect gem on the Hamakua Coast
Stellar experience staying in one of the cottages. The unit was spotless, thoughtfully designed (wife and I are architects), featured amazing views and had everything necessary for a very comfortable and relaxing stay. Friendly cats and fresh longan from the surrounding orchard were a delightful bonus.
