About this property

Hawi Haven!! Where far away never felt so close to home!

Hawi Haven! Come away for a time of rest and rejuvenation at our lovingly restored authentic Hawaiian cottage. Our comfortable home consists of three bedrooms, two and a half baths and is hidden away on a quiet lot, complete with many tropical flowers and fruit trees. We are only a short stroll to historic Hawi Town and a brief drive to many of the Big Island's most beautiful beaches and historic sights.

I HIGHLY recommend Hawi Haven. The location was central to Hawi and close to shops & restaurants. The home was very clean and had ALL items we needed. They stock coffee, laundry detergent, beach towels, beach bags, shampoo, conditioner, snorkel equipment. We enjoyed the Hawaiian Music provided at the location and cute decor and Hawaiian theme items. My favorite was the breeze. There are a lot of windows in the house creating great positive airflow. The wind would blow through the windows, and it was so peaceful to sleep. No AC is needed, and I felt at home. The price was reasonable, and it was easy to book and check into. At this location, you can purchase your groceries and cook if you want to.I would love to come back.

July 4th Kohala Community and Family Reunion

We needed some place that was close to Kohala for our Kohala Community reunion and Family reunion. Hawi Haven was located close to Kohala/Kamehameha Park and the homes of other family members. The property was very well maintained and beautiful. The inside was very nicely renovated and updated. We truly enjoyed our stay at Hawi Haven and look forward to coming back again in the future.

Great location

We really loved our stay at the Hawi House, the location was great and easy check in. The house had plenty of room for our family of four, the bathroom, room set up is a little strange, but not a problem. We had a great time staying here.

Return to our favorite town on the Big Island

We love staying in Hawi - the people are so kind. Access to the mountains and beaches is great. This house was so sweet - very comfortable, lots of little extras (picnic gear, water bottles, rice maker) and the hosts and the property manager were very responsive.

Hawi Haven feels like home

We loved our visit to Hawi Haven! The house felt like home and had everything we needed and wanted. Have stopped in Hawi on several other trips, but never stayed there before...that will change. Hawi and Hawi Haven are definitely on the list for future trips! Mahalo

A quiet retreat

Hawi Haven was a welcome respite to begin our relaxation on the Big Island. The house was beautiful and so well maintained. Communication with the owner and property manager was excellent. Such a beautiful setting for our exploration of the northern part of the island. We would highly recommend a stay at this home.

We loved the location and the house!

Hawi is a wonderful quiet and quaint town. The house was a pleasure to stay at...Hawaiian decor and lovely, comfortable bedrooms. Cool temperatures in the evening. Very peaceful and relaxing neighborhood. One of the best family beaches, Hapuna beach was only 30 mins away, that's a quick drive on the big island. The location was ideal for us to visit Waimea, Kona, Hilo, and even Kīlauea. The distance to the majority of the must see sights on our list was ideal, compared to staying in Kona.

Hawi Heaven for sure

Really enjoyed this house and all of the amenities porvided. You thought of everything from first aid to beach supplies, paper products and more. Really nice stay here, ate the giant avacados that fall off the tree and enjoyed the farmers market for local produce. Good communication with Chris and felt welcomed. Thanks for the stay

Well equipped, clean, homey and relaxing

We’ve been here five or six times and will keep on coming! Large and comfortable (but not super-fancy) house with everything you need. Responsive and helpful house manager and owners. Located within a short walk of “downtown” Hawi with several restaurants, cafes and shops. Hawi is a bit out of the way from the more touristy and busy areas of Kona, Hilo, and Waimea, but that’s what adds to its appeal!

Charming Jewel of a Hawaiian Bungalow!

We were totally charmed by this roomy, airy and classic bungalow, so obviously well cared for. We were amazed by how fully and wonderfully equipped it was for guests. They thought of EVERYTHING! Gracious hosts and wonderfully helpful caretaker, to whom we are very grateful. Loved all the books. A convenient stroll to downtown Hawi, and a nice little grocery store right across the street. We certainly hope to return!!

Generously Supplied, Gracious, "Old Hawaii" House

We spent 5 weeks at Hawi Haven. Hawi is a cute little town with a great coffee spot and some quality small shops for locally produced goods. This house is very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is large and extremely well supplied. Chris, the contact person who manages the property, was a pleasure to deal with, prompt and helpful. We hadn't appreciated how much driving we would do - but it was all worth it! Highly recommended.

Like home away from home

This is our go-to place in Hawaii. We love the feel of the house, it’s very homey and comfy, not super fancy, but it is kept in good shape and has all the necessary amenities. The neighborhood is quiet and only a couple minutes walk to (a few) shops and restaurants - it’s Hawi after all, and part of what makes it charming is that it’s small! Chris the manager was easy to get ahold of and helpful. A few minutes drive will get you to a few more markets and restaurants, but anything else is a longer drive to Waimea or Kona.

We love this place

We've been back now 3 or 4 times. It's walkable to stores and restaurants in Hawi and a short drive to a few more places to eat and shop in the Kohala area. Even though it's basically almost in the middle of Hawi town it's fairly quiet. The house is not super-luxury but it's well appointed and very comfy and has everything you need, and the caretaker Giovanna is easy to reach if you need help.

Amazing

We enjoyed our stay at Hawi Haven so much. The house is adorable, so clean, and well stocked with everything you’ll need for your stay. I’ve never stayed at a rental with such fine attention to detail. We enjoyed playing the myriad of games provided and listening to Hawaiian music on the CD player in the evening. The internet is fast, in case you need to work a bit like I did. The location is just a short 2 min walk into Hawi town, where you can get groceries, espresso, ice-cream, and breakfast. Some of the Big Island’s finest beaches are just a 25 min or so drive away, which we didn’t mind at all for the solitude of Hawi. Come enjoy this area and Hawi Haven before it’s “discovered”!
