Stay in on Hilo side

We loved the property. Not your typical rental house, everyone hade their own space and the grounds were beautiful.They were very accommodating when we realized I’d booked for the wrong dates. They got us into another spot until Temple was ready for us!

I really liked the forest cabin type property I loved this place! Well appointed kitchen not tht I used it much, ha ha ha! A lot of room for people to have their own space with the three building layout.Will book again in the future when I return to this beautiful island. I thank the owner and I especially thank the people of Hawai'i and the spirit of the island herself. Such a lovely place in a world filled with many troubles. Peace.

Amazing stay!

A quaint experience in a quirky set of buildings in a dreamy location. We had whales so close you could hear them blowing from inside over the sound of the pounding surf, and watched turtles playing from our porch. Decently appointed, comfortable beds, great views. It was clean, and the management was responsive.

Waves and whales

This is our second time staying here. This is a great spot for a family of 4-5 people. The added picnic table was a very pleasant place for breakfast looking out to the ocean watching the whales beach and swimming around the bay. The sounds of the geckos and waves made falling asleep super easy. Just a perfect spot.

The Power of the Temple Tree Retreat

Breathless!! This place has Hawaii home, all over it. We just loved everything about it from all the old history decor, to the crashing ocean waves! The gated property made us feel very safe, but it was as if we were in our own world!! Just not enough time or words to put it all in. The one word that keeps popping into my mind is "Spiritual" Can't wait to go back.Mahalo!!

Paradise

The view cannot be beat! The living room, 1 bedroom, and main space are separate buildings connected with a covered walkway. I over looked the fact that it does not have air conditioning, for us that was not good. The view though is spectacular!

Fantastic home!!!!

The place right on the ocean with an amazing view, the sunrise and the waves was just great. A very unique lodging. The only thing we were missing was a big table and chairs outside. The inside dining table and chairs were not very big and comfortable.
