Aloha and welcome to Honomū Haven!
Our home is located in the quaint & charming town of Honomū, just 13 miles north of Hilo and 3 miles from 'Akaka Falls on the Big Island of Hawaii. This 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home was meticulously restored and renovated by the owner, a builder trained in Historic Preservation. Regular trade-winds blow clean air through the home, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the perfect temperatures that travelers seek on a trip to Hawaii. Honomū town is a classic streetscape with cute shops located just a one minute walk from Honomū Haven. Local shops include Mr. Ed's Bakery, The Hive Cafe, Glass from the Past Antiques, Woodshop Art Gallery & Cafe, Purple Eye Boutique, and Hawaii Zipline Tours. Honomū is also the gateway to Akaka Falls State Park where you can take a short walk through the tropical rainforest and view the cascading Akaka & Kahuna Waterfalls. Come and enjoy the lush, clean, safe, and laid back Hāmākua Coast.
Honomū Haven is nestled quietly at the end of town surrounded by beautiful churches of all denominations and a few residential homes. Across the street is Honomū Park which has a public gymnasium, expansive fields and a playground. The gym has a basketball court, ping pong table, billiards and a weight room. The sleepy "city" of Hilo is conveniently just 15 minutes away by car, where all shopping, medical, banking, gas, dining, etc. needs may be met. The Hilo airport is an easy 25 minute drive away. Please note that Kona airport is a 2 hour drive from Honomū.
You will find upon visiting that the house is clean, spacious and comfortable, perched on a manicured yard populated with delicious fruit trees, herbs and ornamentals including roses and orchids, plus many other tropical plants. The smells and sounds of Hawaii's flora and fauna will surround you at all times.
Honomū Haven is locally owned and managed, so additional items of interest and recommendations of activities are available upon request.
We hope you will choose Honomū Haven for your next stay on the magnificent Big Island. Aloha!
