Pu'u Mahana Plantation is the perfect destination for vacations and celebrations. Our hosted property lies in the heart of the coffee district, a secluded tropical estate offering guests a tranquil setting, 7 acres of manicured avocado and citrus trees, and lush borders for plenty of privacy! Six bedrooms and 4 baths comfortably sleep 12 adults. Infinity pool and hot tub, outdoor seating, and tiki torches offer the perfect place to enjoy the tropical sun & colorful sunsets!

Hale Ohana offers six bedrooms (including 3 oceanview suites), comfortably sleeping 12 adults (plus a few keiki). Our rooms are beautifully designed to offer guests a get away when traveling with extended family and friends!

Stunning view, quiet retreat, perfect for family!
Our week-long stay at Pu'u Mahana Plantation was wonderful! We brought three generations of family -- kids/teens through grandparents. First and foremost, the views are stunning!! It doesn't matter where you are standing at the house, you are surrounded by such natural beauty! We appreciated having several bedroom options and places to gather inside/out. The kitchen is fully stocked and had everything we could have wanted for preparing and enjoying meals. Jeni provides so many items to make the stay comfortable such as beach towels, coolers, boogie boards, board games. The pool and patio area was gorgeous day and night --- full ocean views during the day and beautifully lit up with torches and lights at night. Walking the property was a peaceful activity each day -- it feels like a true getaway. There is truly a "symphony" of sounds surrounding you - birds, frogs and more. We liked the area of Captain Cook - access to good snorkeling, fun local places to eat, and friendly people at the farmer's market. Jeni was a great host and responded quickly to any questions we had.

Location and pool are the highlights
The ever-so slightly out of town location made for a relaxing, peaceful day to day living. You feel alone with your group on the property - allowing for a serene experience. House is large, lots of space, never felt cramped. It's a bit older house, which means slightly dated aspects - but not in a way that made the stay uncomfortable. The property managers were available when we had an issues and they were resolved without any overhead from us. Thanks for a lovely big-island stay!

Lovely home
We had a wonderful visit to the Big Island and Jeni’s home was a delight. Everything was well maintained and the house and grounds are beautiful. The little town of Captain Cook was a quick trip for supplies, and the proximity to terrific snorkeling was a daily joy. We loved picking avocados, starfruit and lemons and cooking in the well stocked kitchen. The sunsets are amazing from the house! Jeni was a responsive and gracious host. Our family of nine appreciated the opportunity to share her wonderful home.

A beautiful home, with much neglect.
We stayed at this beautiful home 5 years ago, and had a great experience. Since that time, it appears that the owners have given up on guest satisfaction and home maintenance. The yard appears un-mowed for a month, and there is an absolute mountain of garbage and recyclables behind the garage, stinking and drawing flies, feral cats, and who knows what else. The biggest problem was the refrigerator, which apparently has not been working properly for a while, since all the home instructions warn guests to close the fridge tightly. We were diligent about that, yet it still only got to 50 degrees F at most times. Our daughter had stomach issues for the last two days there and two days at our next house, very likely from eating food that was spoiled. One of the requirements was that guests had to wash and dry bath towels before leaving, a very difficult task when you are showering and packing to get out by 10:00 AM. The cookware and glassware (plastic) is very poor, not what you would expect at these prices. I hope the owners take more interest in this home, it's a great place with so much to offer. Sad to see it in this state of neglect.

Beautiful property with excellent ammenities!
had a very enjoyable 2 week stay with extended family, including 3 toddlers. Jeni was always available to assist with issues, questions - not that many arose. The property is located welcomingly in the hills to provide just enough buffer to be away from the hustle-bustle, but close enough to a grocery store and other essentials to make the stay very enjoyable. The house was also stocked with every imaginable amenity, including a pack-n-play for our youngest, Would definitely stay again. Mahalo!!!

About the host

Hosted by Jeni Herberger

Host profile image
A native Californian, Big Island Hawaii was a perfect home for my family for many years! We raised our family in this beautiful home nestled in the slopes of Mauna Loa and now have the joy of sharing it with others. Enjoy our paradise!

Why they chose this property

Kona has long been a favorite place of ours and when the opportunity presented itself for us to relocate, this was our first choice. We fell in love with the home, the land and the peace and beauty the property offers.

What makes this property unique

Our friends, guests and ohana tell us they don't want to leave the property once they arrive. Everything you could imagine is right there; a resort-style pool, outdoor living space, acres of fruit trees, an open house with incredible decor and a gourmet kitchen! Simply ono!
