Waiaka Homestead is a unique and charming Historic Hawaiian style home which was originally built in the late 1800's. This home has been the heart of many extended family gatherings and reunions due to it's extensive and diverse layout. Located in the cooler rolling hills of South Kohala on the Big Island of Hawaii it is only 10 minutes drive to the most beautiful beaches on the Big Island. Kamuela is centrally located between Hawi, Hilo and Kona which allows visitors a wide range of activities from star gazing on the summit of Mauna Kea, snorkling and diving off the Kona coast, and horseback riding in the Kohala Mountains. Beautiful valleys with waterfalls, excellent restaurants, and live theater for 9 months of the year!
This home is divided into 4 different suites which allows us to customize it to fit your needs. The entire house could sleep 15 people with ease, or, we can separate it to accommodate fewer people with everyone having a private entrance, lanai, and bathroom. The homestead is less than 5 minutes from the charming town of Waimea, also known as Kamuela. This property is surrounded by 100 year old Ylang Ylang, Kukui, Koaia, Silver Oak, and Rose Apple trees. It offers a truly magical and authentic experience of "Old Hawaii" at it's very best!

Why the Owner Chose Kamuela (Waimea)
Waimea is a beautiful town with a wonderful community. It is close to the best beaches on the island yet offers a cooler and refreshing climate to return to at the end of the day. Waimea is centrally located on the island so one has easy access to all that the Big Island has to offer.
The Unique Benefits at this House
You will enjoy an authentic experience of "old Hawaii" at it's best. Waiaka Homestead is spacious and is an ideal location for family reunions and celebrations as it has a large kitchen, dining, and living room where everyone can gather. OR ... if you prefer a more quiet and intimate setting there are a couple of Suites which can be locked off and you can enjoy the sound of the Waimea breeze rustling through the large trees surrounding the Homestead.
