Hamakua House and Camping Cabanas

Disappointing

  : Location was OK, a little far out
  : The property is not very old, but lacks the love and tender care and could be better maintained. The joint kitchen is not very clean, and also the shared bathroom, bed linen and towels were not very clean.

  : Super nice property in Honomu. Staff was friendly, helpful, easy to contact via Whatsapp. A lot of things can be borrowed, to the beach or for a day out, which is great. Can cook on site.
  : Its dirty. I guess guests are meant to clean up after themselves but that means that its a mess. we could deal with it but if I had kids I would expect better. Can see in photos gecko poop all over (that was bedroom table), and fridge was straight up nasty. Can hear everything through the walls of main house so better hope your neighbors are quiet!

  : The location is beautiful. We loved that it was secluded, yet not far from the local attractions. I appreciate the availability of beach toys and chair to use during our stay. I also loved the balcony and living room area.
  : Unfortunately, I dont feel it was made extremely clear that this property is a shared/communal home. Nor did I know that it is an earth friendly home. Those details would have been nice to know because we were looking for more of a comfort stay, since this stop was at the end of your vacation. Our stay ended up being more of an adventure than a relaxing retreat. I also wished I would have known that our room would be upstairs with the bathroom downstairs. I was traveling with my elderly mom and she mentioned it was difficult to get to the bathroom at night and would have been much more comfortable with a room on the same floor as the restroom. But truly the only thing that made our stay less than a 10 were the other guests, which is out of your control. There were two young girls who would come in stumbling around at 2am, slamming doors, felling around, talking and laughing as if they were the only ones staying there. There was also a couple who roomed downstairs who thought they owned the place and had their clothes and other items laying over all the chairs in the balcony and their food in all the shelves in the fridge. We would have not stayed if we knew we were sharing space with others so my only recommendation is to make it super clear that this is a communal property, similar to a hostel.

  : Beautiful waterfall!
  : The breakfast was not good. I do like that the money supports someone who does so much for his community.

  : We stayed in the river cabin and it was the most beautiful location. We could hear the swimmable waterfall (just a few minutes walk away) all night long. So peaceful and a very special memory! A once in a lifetime opportunity to stay in a place like this.
  : The place was not very clean. It didn't matter to us too much as we just treated it like camping BUT it doesn't take much to get a cleaner to give a place a thorough clean every now and then. This was our only complaint!
