About this property

Per Mayor’s mandate no reservations are blocked through the Covid-19 pandemic. Future reservations are still fine.

Aloha & welcome to Honu Hale, your home away from home, where the Hawaiian sea turtles throughout the home will not only bring you good luck, but according to Hawaiian legends will serve as guardians throughout your stay. Our home sleeps 4 comfortably with one queen and one double bed. The Hawaiian style and comfortable furnishings are perfect for a family, two couples, friends, or a romantic getaway. Two big-screen TV's and wifi mean the whole family can relax and watch their favorite programs and stay caught up with social media. A welcome gift of some tasty treats from around the islands, and cold bottled water in the refrigerator await your arrival. Located at over 3000 feet elevation- you will enjoy evening tropical breezes and tranquil, cooler temperatures, but still, be just a short drive to get to world-famous beaches.

In the bathroom, you will find luxury bath towels and toiletries you may use during your stay including shampoo and conditioner, lotion, sunscreen, Q-tips, cotton balls, after sun aloe, and other necessities.

The Hawaiian decor continues in the bedrooms. The Master bedroom has a Queen sized bed and large screen TV. The second bedroom is bright and comfortable with one double bed and lots of sunlight. Boogie Boards, beach chairs, snorkel gear, and a cooler are provided for your use while you stay.

The kitchen has all high-end appliances and is equipped with everything you could need to stay in and BBQ or create your own gourmet meal. We hope you will enjoy the attention to detail and our attempt to make your stay comfortable and relaxing.

Midway between Hilo and Kona, Honu Hale is conveniently located close to waterfalls, beaches, zip-lining, golfing, and hiking. A day trip to Volcano National park is a once in a lifetime adventure, and Waimea is a great starting point. Tour Parker Ranch located right in Waimea. It is the largest cattle ranch in the country. Waipio Valley is just a 15-minute drive away and boasts stunning views, and a private beach bottom on the hike. Waimea is Paniolo country (Hawaiian cowboys) and is a perfect place to do some horseback riding, or if you are visiting during the 4th of July, the Parker Ranch Rodeo is a must! Don't forget to stop at one of the three farmers' markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays to pick up locally grown produce, and hand made local items and souvenirs!

Mahalo & Aloha, We hope to see you soon, and you will enjoy your relaxing stay so much you will return for years to come. STVR-19-364059

Peaceful home away from home

We loved the location and easiness of the location. Pretty much anything you might need is 10-45 minutes away. And you cant beat having your homebase in Waimea. No mosquitoes, cocqui frogs, nor fire ants to ruin your night.Many thanks to the hosts for providing such a welcoming home!

Great Hawaii Mtn get away

We come to the Big island for a couple of months every year to visit our Daughter and this year we chose to stay closer to where she lives in Honaka'a. This location is perfectly situated between the Mountains and the Beach. Almost directly between Hilo and Kona, it made it easy to tour the island. Short ride down the hill to the Beach and shopping and very peaceful when working from the house(listening to the Turkeys). Plenty of space for cooking and a grill that we used several times on the deck...felt like Home away from Home! Provided beach chairs and cooler made for easy beach days. Awesome place for sure and would recommend it to EVERYONE.

Family in Waimea

This was the perfect location for me to visit family in Waimea. Definitely not a “tourist type” location unless you want a beautiful base camp to explore the North end. Cooler weather, but 15-20 miles gets you 15-20 degrees in temperature. Excellent accommodations and just as the pictures show.

House beneath the clouds

Quiet beautiful place and a little up the road were the clouds every morning. The temperatures are not so high as it’s at medium elevations. What an awesome place. Waimea is a good starting point for exploring the island in all directions.

Great place close to town and the beach

Well kept and very clean 1st floor unit! The area seems to be a cooler location on the island so no ac wasn't a problem at all. The unit is very spacious and we had more than enough room. I would absolutely stay again and recommend it to anyone.

The condo was well appointed- pots and pans to seasonings and beach equipment. A little dated but very clean. The dehumidifier was a little noisy was only issue I can think of negatively. Would definitely stay again

Nice stay

Overall the property is nice and worked for my long stay. There were a few issues but Kathy was very responsive and got us fix up quickly. The only negatives would be when the upstairs unit is rented... they can be rather loud "walkers" and the beds really could use new mattresses. They have added pillow toppers but they are way too soft & no support. Those are the only reason for a 4 star instead of a 5. I would absolutely rent it again..

Waimea stay

This place, overall, has been fine. After staying in two places on the Big Island just before coming here that we’re amazing ( charming, beautiful both inside and out), this one does not compare. But, it is clean, spacious, and acceptable. Pros are a well-stocked kitchen ( for cooking or not), well-stocked bathroom. The driveway and outside look quite tired, as do the beds and bedding ( the beds are like sleeping in marshmallows). If you like really soft beds you’ll like them. There is a nice welcome basket on the table with chips and candy. There is an apartment upstairs and as a consequence there is noise if it is occupied that comes through floors. Carpet up there might help with that. There are also ice chests on the porch that can be used, as well as new snorkeling equipment and beach/lawn chairs and umbrellas. All in all, more pros than cons.

Excellent response time

The property was quaint in the lovely town of Kamuela and well appointed. My needs for an extended stay was accommodated; however, it was cut short due to the dampness/musty smell (that couldn’t be removed by the dehumidifier) and safety concerns of some windows inability to lock. This was communicated to both the owners and property manager and I immediately received responses to rectify the situation and they were very understanding.

Long overdue Family visit!

Hadn't seen my dad or brother since before COVID and it was time. They live in Paailio so Robyn's place was the perfect place, convenient, and love being near Waimea where it is cooler. Also was pleasantly surprised that the apartment had a de-humidifier. I am used to the mildew and musky smells from the humidity in Waimea and having the de-humidifier was a huge plus. It was cool during our visit, so the de-humidifier acted as a heater and was a bit loud, but once you closed the bedroom door, wasn't a problem. Very comfortable and well stocked. Thank you Robyn.

Nice place to stay in Waimea

Good place to stay. Tried to use the grill, but it was out of propane. The place is a little musty, but being that it is in Waimea, that is understandable. The bed was really squishy and not supportive. However, overall, it was a clean and quiet place.

About the host

Hosted by Robyn

The McKenzie Family lives on Oahu, and makes frequent trips to the big island to visit family and enjoy the beautiful Island. Robyn's parents Bill and Kathy are your hosts and live in a unit right above, and are there ready to answer any questions you may have, give recommendations or just help in any way!

Why they chose this property

When visiting family on the Big Island we fell in love with Waimea. Waimea offers a slower paced lifestyle, and has excellent restaurants, great shopping, and is right in the middle of so many attractions on the island. We love the cooler weather, opposite of the stifling heat we experienced in Kona.

What makes this property unique

Honu Hale has everything you could need to settle in for a great vacation. If you enjoy the beach, you will appreciate the boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear, and cooler that are there to use during your stay. If you like to eat in, there is a great BBQ, and all the kitchen utensils you could need. We enjoy coming and staying here too! We have furnished the unit with everything we like to have when traveling, so you get to enjoy those things too.
