Historic charm - Chefs kitchen - Music

I love the historic charm! No frills residence with all the kitchen gadgets for your group. Perfect place for groups and someone who likes to have a place to cook. Lots of options to relax on the many sofas or outdoor areas with a morning coffee. A symphony of chickens and local birds is always in the background. We fly into Hilo and pick up groceries on the drive. The piano and other instruments are available for a jam session or creative play.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Plantation. Truly a hidden gem. These properties are beautiful. The walls truly tell a story of days gone past while you’re resting, rejuvenating and enjoying connecting with your loved ones. Every building is designed uniquely and is one of a kind. We hope to back for a longer stay in the future.

Love the area. House is clean, but walls, ceilings and corners to be dusted. And the shower curtain was moldy. Other then that WE love staying in a OG plantation house it brings so much memories of our grandparents who lived in plantation homes just like these. Thank you Julia.

This was not what we expected. Unfortunately, because of a sudden death, communication with business was not easy. We appreciate that our reservation was still available when we arrived. Once we located the plantation house, we were greated by mourning family and directed to our accommodations. We had a spacious home, but it was very well used and showed it's age. Unfortunately, we do not believe they will continue the cottage business.

So, we stayed for five days and I have to say that even with a few hiccups, we enjoyed the stay. You are staying in the jungle in Hawaii, if you expect not to see geckos and bugs then go somewhere else. This is part of the area, part of the expirience and you kind of just need to realize that older plantation houses in the jungle are just that. It had everything we needed and lots of space. I would stay again.

The picture is not what we wer offered to stay in. We got a 1940's house that was next to chickens and dogs that made noise all night. It is implied in the ad that the cottages are onthe same porperty as the main house and they are 2 blocks away.

It is a very cute little cottage 2 BR 1 Queen 2 twins a day bed. Full kitchen too. Simply perfect. Never even turned on the TV. A little grocery store is a short walk as well as the Post Office, bank & pharmacy all in one spot. Julia, the owner, is a gem, came to visit & we chatted on the front porch as if we had known each other forever. I felt as if I fit right in. Be prepared to wake up to roosters. Mahala, Julia...I'll be back - perhaps never leave...PB Lafayette Colo

The communication with Julia was excellent but…… The house was so gross & unlivable. They need to tear that place down. It’s full with bugs and bugs on and beds. There’s barking dogs & lit ones where you cannot sleep at all because they are barking all hours of the evening and night. There’s no restaurant in the town either. It was awful!

This was a fantastic place to stay. There were only two us us but we had the main bedroom, a second bedroom, plus a day bed and couch. Full and complete kitchen with real appliances although we didn't end up doing much cooking as we spent much of our time touring. We loved spending time in an authentic town versus the resort-style tourist places. Be aware the local roosters start crowing early so if you like to sleep in or are a light sleeper that can be an issue but we didn't mind as it put us right in the heart of the local culture and allowed us to get our days started early which we needed because there is so much to see. If you want restaurants and nightlife or the most modern facilities this is not the place for you but if you want to live like a local in a historic building, you will love this place.

In very small town, no restaurants nearby, great place to see stars. House is very old, need to be cleaned, the second bath shower really needs remodel, the hot water barely comes out, and is very old and ugly looking, so my kids didn't want to shower there. The sheet wasn't very clean in the bedroom 2, there were hairs on it. Insulation is bad, when someone flush the toilet in the bathroom 2, it was so loud like a bomb. kitchen faucet was rusty. cups were dirty, like haven't be used and cleaned for a long time.

We chose this place for the two bedrooms, kitchen and location (between Hilo and Kona- not in a big city). The space was really generous with two larger bedrooms (one with queen and one with two beds), Jack and Jill bathroom, a kitchen, living room, laundry. We loved being out of a big city- about two hours from Kona and one hour from Hilo. Take this into consideration if you plan to be in a city on some days. Parking is right in front of the door which was really convenient and internet was very fast. Communication with the host was good (via text mostly) and directions to the place were sent the day of arrival. Although not in a big city, don't expect quiet! There were chickens, cats and other animals which were very loud, especially in the morning. We loved it- but for those who need quiet, it's good to know. There is a unit sharing a wall with the one we occupied and the people in there were very loud (and used choice language I would have preferred my own children not hear...); we could hear every word and assume they could hear us as well. The biggest drawback was the kitchen- there were bugs in the drawers, and the dishes and items weren't terribly clean. We ended up buying disposable utensils and easy to prepare food to avoid use of the equipment in the unit. We realize that the big island is known for bugs, but this was a bit outside our comfort zone for the intended purpose of the space for this trip. These are good to know items before booking! Many pluses.

needed a good update-repaint, minor repairs, confusing to find place/with reservation-was a recent death of owner so understandable, mahalo for continuing the reservation and the upgrade to a slightly larger place, security was basic-better locks on doors preferred but small town so didn't feel unsafe, laundry availability was much appreciated, basic selection of amenities, about 1/2 hr drive to volcanos park,

I did not realise that we were staying in a plantation village, with multiple accommodation. I had made a request for two beds and, as it was a slow time of year, we got two bedrooms. Pahala is a very cute town (and currently the only one with a grocery store as the one in Naalehu was no longer as at 28 Jan 25). The people were also really friendly. The only thing to consider is the roosters. If you want to sleep in - close the windows. We didn't, as the black sand beach was all ours at sunrise, then came back to Pahala for coffee at the Ka'u Coffee Mill.

Comfortable Home Base for Adventurers

We had an amazing time on our trip. The cottage is clean and stocked with everyday kitchen items like pans, plates, coffee mugs, coffee pot etc. Dish soap is provided. We were thrilled to see a washer and dryer! The beds were comfortable as well. There is a full sized refrigerator to stock with food you can pick up from Costco in Kona. I loved the landscaping and enjoyed looking up all the flowers. We were able to drive less than 10 minutes to watch the sunrise every morning at the Black Sand beach! The Volcano is only a 30 minute drive as well. We were pleasantly surprised to find the Punalu'u Bakery 20 minutes away for the best breakfast! Overall we felt very comfortable staying at the Pahala Cottages.
