We were looking for a last minute unique experience and came across Hamakua Guest House. Our hosts were super helpful with accommodating a late check in and giving us all the directions from Kona airport, which was about 1:40 drive. Hilo is only 30 minutes away for groceries and such. You will experience the sounds and smells of the outdoors with the coqui frogs, the rain, and other elements of nature while at the same time having some commodities of the indoors. Sleeping in the hammocks reminded me of being back home in Puerto Rico. The main house had plenty of extra amenities that I was not expecting which definitely made the place even better. This is ABSOLUTELY worth the value and long trip from the mainland.
