Honomu Haven was a wonderful place for our extended family of 12 to stay. Beds were comfortable and there were more than enough towels, pillows and blankets. It was fun to have a yard for the kids to explore the fruit trees. It was nice that there was a washer and dryer. The kitchen was well equipped (except no dishwasher, but that wasn't a problem for us). The stove and fridge were fabulous (we cook a lot). We loved the 11 mile drive to Hilo and surroundings. The Honomu 'downtown' was in (short) walking distance and the shops were great to explore. Ramona was on the spot in welcoming us, in providing great directions and instructions and answering the few questions we had. The Haven is very much "old" Hawaii. We found that charming and attractive. The place was really clean. We'd stay there again in a heart-beat.
