We loved our stay at Hale Kawehi Guesthouse! The house is spacious and we had everything we needed- breakfast and snacks foods were even provided. There are lots of lovely seating areas, inside and outside. The house gets great air flow, as some of the only doors are fly screen doors. The quirky vibe is lots of fun! The facilities and full kitchen were great. Thank you for having us stay!

Nothing we didn't like, just some things to be aware of. The bed is very soft - great for people who love a soft bed!

Hale Kawehi was a real delight - not just a regular 1BR apartment, but effectively a furnished whole house - including two sitting rooms and wrap-around balcony. It was a great base for our four days of sightseeing on the Big Island, and lacks nothing for comfort. Well furnished throughout, the kitchen was the best stocked we have ever encountered. Would definitely stay at Hale Kawehi again.

No complaints whatsoever.

Kawehi (pronounced Ka-vay-hee) provides to her guests the entire front portion of her well-located home in Hilo. It is amazing the amount of room, both inside and out, that you have access to compared to a normal hotel room. It includes a full kitchen, stocked with various complementary goodies, and an outdoor covered dining area, plus plenty of places just to lounge around in. And covered parking is included, which is a great feature in rainy Hilo. We enjoyed our stay very much.

The coqui frogs are LOUD at night, but thankfully Kawehi provides ear plugs, which helps a lot. After awhile, you get used to their co-KEE song, which is strongest during the first part of the night.

Quirky and delightful oasis in Hilo. Friendly and available hostess. Well supplied with snacks and breakfast items. Great comfortable decks for reading and dining.

If walk to beach access is important this is not available. Lots of interesting knickknacks in the guesthouse so probably not suitable for small children

The hostess has stocked this apartment with essentials and perks. Basics are in the kitchen to use, which was wonderful. The previous place we stayed did not even provide salt and pepper. Plus the apartment is supplied with informative books to help you plan and some other of those other essentials that you normally would have to get or do without. On top of all that, she was able to make spot on recommendations. A very easy and productive place to stay.

I loved all the artifacts in this apartment, but have to admit it was a little too much for my tastes at the same time. Not really a criticism, just an observation. I think all that makes it a great alternative to cookie cutter resort rooms.

Very quirky decorations which we loved. Everything you could want available in the house - so comfortable.

pillows were quite big but comfortable once we got used to them.

The courtyard was inviting. The kitchen area was open and welcoming. Host left treats and option for wine purchase. Responsive Host.

There wasn’t a good place to unpack. I like funky stuff, but the place felt cluttered. Husband enjoyed counting all 25 clocks.
