The Hamakua Guesthouse is located on the south end of Hawaii's breathtaking Hamakua Coast. Established in 2012 we are easily accessible to all the Big Island attractions such as Volcanoes National Park (1 hour South), Waipio Valley (1 hour North), and the countless sights and adventures along the Hamakua Coast, it is the perfect location to base your Big Island adventure vacation. The legendary Akaka Falls State Park is only 4 miles away from the Hamakua House. Onomea Bay is only 4 miles away, which is the home of the Hawaii Botanical Gardens. It is an unforgettable drive to get there and the bay is a wonderful place to have a picnic. We are only 1 mile (easily walkable) from the quaint main street of Honomu, HI. This town was established in the sugar cane plantation era and remains today boasting some wonderful gift shops, two restaurants, a coffee house, and the Island's best Zip Line Tours. Guests have access to our open air full bathroom with running water and a stunning rainfall shower (located at the main house). They also have access to our covered outdoor kitchen with grills, a sink, prep space, dining area, dishes, cups, silverware, and cookware (also located at the main house).

Deluxe Glamping Hammock Cabana
Return guest!
This is the second time I’ve stayed here, would highly recommend! Amenities are top tier, location is beautiful and secure. Close enough to Hilo and attractions for quick, easy access, but tucked away enough to still feel embedded in the natural beauty of the big island. Will be back, thanks again for another great stay!

Standard Hammock Glamping Cabana
For the low price, this place is okay if travelling on a budget, and sleeping in a hammock is a cool idea. The communal areas really let this place down though, as the kitchen was pretty gross. You’re reminded to remove shoes before entering the kitchen, but the floor was covered with crumbs and other bits of food which was gross when walking around barefoot. The sink was also constantly filled to the brim with dirty dishes from the staff working there, so whenever we tried to cook, the hobs were covered with dirty pans and most of the dishes were unclean. There are only 2 showers and toilets for everyone, so you need to wait a while to shower. The safe in our cabana also wasn’t working when we arrived (staff hadn’t checked if the previous guest had reset the lock) so we had to carry our passports and laptops around everywhere with us. Overall, with the standard of the kitchen it felt like we were paying to stay in student accommodation, and there are plenty of budget places on the Big Island that are much cleaner than this place.

Nature hostel vibe near Hilo
We absolutely enjoyed our stay and it was a true experience. Hammocks were cozy and sounds of nature lulled us to sleep. It was easy to get together with other guests and chat in the morning or evening. Liked the a little of the grid experience.

Great Choice!
This was such a a great stay! Beautiful location, peaceful, but also close enough to activities, stores, etc. The cabanas are comfy and come with all of the pillows and blankets you could need. Only potential downside is that there are 2 bathrooms for the entire place. Depending on how many people are staying there this could be an issue.

Single Hammock in a Coed Dormitory
I absolutely loved the authentic atmosphere. Very thoughtful details. Welcoming directions, signs and amenities. I will be back! I woke up with a full heart and feeling an amazing. Everyone should glamp in a hammock at least once in their life - multiple times for extra happy. Mahalos!!!
