Located on the rugged and picturesque Puna coast of the Big Island, Hale Mohalu Guesthouse is a garden residence in paradise. The lush and verdant district of Puna provides the idyllic setting for this unique botanical retreat.
Situated on twenty-two landscaped acres, the guesthouse commands sweeping ocean views to the east where the sun rises from the Pacific Ocean bathing the expansive garden and stone terrace in the early morning light...If you can pull yourself away, venture out to the nearby geothermal warm pools or the black sand beach for a sunrise swim.
Beautiful Mango wood floors, custom made furnishings from Bali and exceptional art combine to create an experience that is truly unique in the world of vacation rentals.

Wonderful!

We didn't want to leave!
Hale Mohalu Guesthouse is an amazing property. As another reviewer mentioned, our first reaction upon entering the house was “Wow!” It is beautifully decorated, very comfortable, and the surrounding 22 acres of lush gardens are spectacular. We were excited to stay in a house that is “off the grid” but we really didn't notice. You’re simply asked to be mindful of electricity use by turning off lights when you leave a room (which is a good practice anyway) and unplugging your cell phone when it is finished charging (i.e. not leaving it plugged in all night). I used a hair dryer twice, without any problems. If you’re put off by the shower that is open to the back of the property, don't let that keep you from experiencing all of the great things about this property! Mike, the property caretaker, is extremely nice and helpful. He took us on a personal tour of the grounds and showed us the different fruit trees so that we could come back later and pick whatever we wanted. That was a lot of fun, especially for my husband who had a 40+ year career in produce. We even got to see a Night Blooming Cereus with five blooms. Our only regret is that we were there only two nights. If we ever make it back to the Big Island, we’ll definitely plan to stay at Hale Mohalu. Mahalo, Mike and team!
Rainforest paradise home
The house and the grounds are well decorated. The owner definitely put lots effort in the 22 acres garden. In the morning the first sunlight turns this place into paradise. Caretaker lives on the property gave us lot of tips explore the Hilo side. Mahalo!
This place is divine.
This property is sitting in the middle of a 22acre property which is a labour of love of a professional horticulturist based out of SF. One needs to stay here to enjoy the grounds. There are tons of trees/ flowers all over the place. We ended up coming here with a hectic schedule and didnt really get a chance to enjoy the property. The house is well designed, has plenty of minute details all over to make it a lovely place to stay. highly recommended.
Great house on amazing grounds.
We had a wonderful stay. They house was very nice and the grounds were amazing. We hope to have the chance to return here.
Stunning!
This place exceeded our expectations! Plenty of room for our family of 7 and the house had everything we needed. After almost a week on the Kona side this was a refreshing change and so relaxing. The house and the grounds are just breathtaking! The location is still very accessible to a lot of things to do and close enough to just go back and take in the beauty all around and get some R&R in. The owners always provided prompt responses to our questions and those on site were so helpful whenever we needed anything! At the same time we always felt we had complete privacy! Highly recommend this place if you want to get away from things a bit but also still want to explore the Hilo side. Mahalo!
Hawaii's Most Inviting Vacation Rental
My family and I have frequented this fabulous vacation rental many times since 2013. I seek the Big Island for relaxation and restoration. So fortunate to have found Hale Mohalu. Full of wondrous and thoughtfully crafted gardens, exquisite orchids grafted amongst the palms. Avocado and lychee groves nestled in 20+ acres atop a sweeping vista, all with the most breathtaking view. Privacy and luxury assured at this three bedroom home, which is consistently clean and welcoming. Equipped with a gourmet kitchen and choice linens. A Helpful staff is there to provide inside tips about the Big Island. Lava tours, onsite message and even a cleaning service! With close access to Volcano National Park. This side of the island is abundant in beautiful tide pools and is ideal for hiking. I've traveled most of the Big island and a good part of Hawaii. No other location compares and, thus my family returns to Hale Mohalu. I would highly recommend this residence for personal and family use, friends, romantic getaways, the discerning traveler and undoubtably, weddings or party's. Aloha!
