Quiet spot away from the crowds
Perfect no frills location. Loved the full kitchen stocked with all the right gadgets. Full laundry and wifi. Perfect location to visit Black Sand beach and volcanos. Big yard for the kids to play outside.
Great stay in a lovely cottage with lots of character. Place was old but very clean and comfortable, and had just about everything I needed (kitchen sink stopper or dishwashing tub, wine opener, and soap for the shower are the only 3 things that were lacking). Would definitely stay here again.

The property is a cute cottage that reminds you of your Grandma’s house. It was a great price and close to the beach and Volcano park isn’t too far so it was Perfect for me. The host is very friendly and met me at the cottage when I arrived.

She was so kind and welcoming. Yes it's not the most modern. It was an amazing plantation house! Old wood floors and a beautiful porch. I loved it. Pahala is a great small town. This is the perfect place for a slow, relaxing and quiet vacation.

The cottage was intended to be used as a place to sleep for the night after visiting Kilauea and served that purpose well. Beds and linens were clean and in good condition. The cottage is old and is need of major repair (plumbing issues).
Overall, a good place to stop and rest for the night rather than driving HI 11 to Kohala in the dark.

needed a good update-repaint, minor repairs, confusing to find place/with reservation-was a recent death of owner so understandable, mahalo for continuing the reservation and the upgrade to a slightly larger place, security was basic-better locks on doors preferred but small town so didn't feel unsafe, laundry availability was much appreciated, basic selection of amenities, about 1/2 hr drive to volcanos park,

Historic charm - Chefs kitchen - Music
I love the historic charm! No frills residence with all the kitchen gadgets for your group. Perfect place for groups and someone who likes to have a place to cook. Lots of options to relax on the many sofas or outdoor areas with a morning coffee. A symphony of chickens and local birds is always in the background. We fly into Hilo and pick up groceries on the drive. The piano and other instruments are available for a jam session or creative play.

I did not realise that we were staying in a plantation village, with multiple accommodation. I had made a request for two beds and, as it was a slow time of year, we got two bedrooms. Pahala is a very cute town (and currently the only one with a grocery store as the one in Naalehu was no longer as at 28 Jan 25). The people were also really friendly. The only thing to consider is the roosters. If you want to sleep in - close the windows. We didn't, as the black sand beach was all ours at sunrise, then came back to Pahala for coffee at the Ka'u Coffee Mill.
So, we stayed for five days and I have to say that even with a few hiccups, we enjoyed the stay. You are staying in the jungle in Hawaii, if you expect not to see geckos and bugs then go somewhere else. This is part of the area, part of the expirience and you kind of just need to realize that older plantation houses in the jungle are just that. It had everything we needed and lots of space. I would stay again.

Comfortable Home Base for Adventurers
We had an amazing time on our trip. The cottage is clean and stocked with everyday kitchen items like pans, plates, coffee mugs, coffee pot etc. Dish soap is provided. We were thrilled to see a washer and dryer! The beds were comfortable as well. There is a full sized refrigerator to stock with food you can pick up from Costco in Kona. I loved the landscaping and enjoyed looking up all the flowers. We were able to drive less than 10 minutes to watch the sunrise every morning at the Black Sand beach! The Volcano is only a 30 minute drive as well. We were pleasantly surprised to find the Punalu'u Bakery 20 minutes away for the best breakfast! Overall we felt very comfortable staying at the Pahala Cottages.

EXCEPTIONAL EXCELLENCE of service, communication & personal aloha. TYSVM to the kind hosts who were thoughtful enough to concisely communicate what food options are available in this very small country town. We would have been stuck without it, so we shopped for our meals. Thanks to their FULL kitchen (including all pans, plates, silverware & even spices & dried tea). SUPER GENEROUS & we felt as if we were staying in someone home. MAHALO TYSVM & MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU!
