5/5 - Excellent
Small town charm and great food without the hustle of many tourists.






We stayed for two days and had a wonderful experience. The host welcomed us very warmly and was incredibly kind and friendly. She even prepared breakfast for us in the morning, which was a very nice touch. Everything was spotless and very well taken care of. We really enjoyed our stay.

Howard is such an amazing host. Very responsive whenever we had questions and gave great advice on activities on the island. This place is even better than it looks in the pictures. We were blown away by the size of the bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. The covered patios and decks is where ...

Overall, my stay was adequate. The rental appears to be a hotel room with a minor conversion of a closet into a "kitchenette" area with a mini fridge and some utensils/bowls/plates. There is a microwave and toaster as well as a small coffee maker. I was expecting an actual kitchen to cook in but ...

Beautiful and spotless accommodations. Very friendly and helpful hosts that were responsive when we had questions but also gave us our privacy. The grounds are gorgeous and the house is located well, in between Hilo and Volcanos Park. Nice hot shower too!!

Why not spend a lazy afternoon at Ha'ena Beach during your trip to Keaau? Wander the seaside or discover the volcano viewpoints in this relaxing area.
Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory is just one of the places to see in Keaau, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? Wander the picturesque gardens or discover the area's volcano viewpoints.
Enjoy the beautiful waterfalls and explore Hiʻiaka's Healing Hawaiian Herb Garden, a lovely green space in Keaau. Stroll along the seaside or discover the area's volcano viewpoints.

Very affordable area, lush tropical forest, close to Hilo,
This is the best way to see the big island. Skip the resorts and helicopter rides, rent a car, and just drive till you see something you want to visit. Plenty of things to see and do to fill a week+. Will be going back; hopefully soon.
It is a rather non descript small town.
Sadly we only spent one night at this location. We would have loved to have stayed more nights to see more of the sites.
Every was unique
