We loved our stay in Honomu! What a special gem! We weren't sure whether it would be too far out of "town" but are so glad we booked this place. The drive wasn't far from Hilo, and it was so much nicer to be in a peaceful country setting. We had a beautiful view out the back of our room overlooking treetops, the small town and meandering chickens and roosters. The restored old building and all of the decor is gorgeous, including handmade shelves and furniture by Cody. Cody, Nicole and their growing family are lovely! So friendly and helpful. We had the chance to say hi a few mornings and got some great tips and nice visits. There was a fun bonus breakfast zone with coffee, tea and snacks, and we were able to conveniently store our perishables in the shared fridge. A breeze to navigate checking in and out, and a great location for adventures on the east side of the island. We also really enjoyed the vintage Hawaiian record collection in the front lobby!
