Kikala Waterfall Lodge

Kikala Waterfall Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Gorgeous setting and a nicely appointed house - had everything we needed! Communication through text/email for the check-in process was very straightforward. Our kids had a blast playing in the waterfall and sleeping in the loft. The stargazing is AMAZING if you get a clear night. This was a perfect, peaceful home base for exploring the Hilo side of the Big Island!"

8/10 Good
"Flies in the barn was an extreme nuisance. Uncut grass from cabin 5 to the barn was annoying. The falls was a amazing. However, be extremely careful if you take the short hike because the uneven rocks is a challenge especially if it rain (9 out 10 times it'll rain). Despite that, Jordan, Abby, & Cady (not in order) was top of line from hospitality, interaction, professionalism, tidiness, etc. & they wasn't ugly :-)"

Luxury 4BR Estate with Ocean Views, Pool, Slide & Gourmet Kitchen: Waipio Heaven

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our second stay in this house. The view is one-of-a-kind, and the house is such a beautiful gem. We love the coquis at night, the stars and enjoying the humid air of Hawaii. Honoka’a is a nice town, and the Waipi’o Fruit Shack is right down the road. You’ll probably be visiting Waimea (30 minutes) or across the island to Mauna Lani, etc. (1 ro 1.25 hours), but the longer drive is still worth it for staying in such a lovely house. You’ll have a wonderful experience!"
