My husband and I stayed at the Mongoose Manor for the month of October with our cat Nala. Everyone was super welcoming, accommodating, and friendly. I don’t think there was a single thing we needed they couldn’t provide.
The temperature is perfect here. It’s a little chilly in the morning and warms up by 8am when the sun starts shining. The landscaping is absolutely beautiful. It feels like a local little piece of paradise with stunning sunsets and expansive ocean views. It’s a perfect background for a Zoom meeting, too — and the internet is great. We had minimal issues the hosts resolved immediately. Shouldn’t be a problem to work all day taking Zoom calls or other internet heavy tasks.
The location is great if you’re looking for a nice, quiet place to relax and unwind. It’s nestled right between Kona and Hilo, so you can access either city in about 1.5 hour drive and Volcano National Park is about 45 minutes away. Plenty of cool local spots to check out too like black sand beaches, green sand beaches, South Point, lava tubes, etc. Again, the panoramic views are all to die for. They have little walking paths throughout the property to enjoy, too. Our kitty absolutely loved wandering around the property and making friends with the hosts’ pets.
We will absolutely be coming back to Mongoose Manor and would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay. You’ll be well taken care of!
