My wife and I stayed at Hale Kawehi a few years ago - prior to our moving to Hawai'i. It was this beautiful place - and our continuing relationship with Kawehi that had a lot to do with our moving here - and in particular our choice of where we wanted to live. We are only a block from Hale Kawehi and have recommended her guesthouse to friends when they come to visit us.

We've stayed with Kawehi each of the last 5 years in November. Obviously we think it is a great place. Spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable -- the perfect anti-condo. And it is very well located for exploring all the interesting things to do around Hilo. Thanks to Kawehi -- she is a wonderful host.

This is our second stay at this wonderful place in Hilo. We heartily recommend Hale Kawehi as wonderful location to escape the tourist "rush" of Hawaii and set back into an atmosphere that is both relaxing and one which permits sampling off-the-beaten path parts of Hilo.
As a hostess, Kawehi is caring and conscientious person who goes out of her way to make sure her guests feel welcome and their needs are attended to. Staying at Hale Kawehi can best be described as having all of the benefits of living in one's personal residence, but with all the amenities of a cozy old Hawaii home.

I had a wonderful time at Hale Kawehi. I couldn't have a better experience in Hilo. The house is huge, homey, and full of love with Details. Kawehi herself was the best host I've ever met. She is very caring, even baked us Croissants for breakfast and gave us the best tips for our short visit in Big Island. She cleans the house every day and her housecat Mr. Princess was extremely cute by greeting us every night. The house is centrally located, I would stay here everytime when I'll get back to Hilo. Thank you Kawehi, gonna miss you a lot. :)

We loved our stay at Hale Kawehi! The open air environment, cozy furniture and stained glass were exactly what my husband and I were looking for in a getaway! It was a beautiful walk to downtown Hilo and the ocean. The owner, Colleen (Kawehi) was so warm and made us feel so comfortable. We look forward to our next visit!

I was in this wonderful and old traditional hawaiian house for a few days and it was awesome. I never had such a comfy, charmy and huge house for me before. Kawehi is aswell a wonderful lady with a big heart and so many interesting things to tell about Hilo. The house is absolutly good located and u can from there with a car to every spot u want. When i ever will go back to Big Island, i will for sure book again this sweet Home. Kawehi..u are an amazing peron...kisses and hugs to you!
