Peaceful and relaxing

This place is amazing, has a peaceful calming vibe to it. From water fountains to chickens and birds singing around, you get to enjoy a relaxing stay especially in the morning while having breakfast outside on the terrace/balcony. And breakfast is amazing! The owners are wonderful people. They make sure everyone is comfortable and having a nice stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice and affordable place in Kona.

A wonderful week

My wife and I spent a wonderful week at Hale Maluhia at Kona. Owners Ken and Sue were gracious; innkeepers Adam and Pam were always attentive and considerate. The B&B itself was clean and comfortable, truly a home away from home. We would return in a heartbeat.

Truly a House of Peace

My wife and I spent our first wedding anniversary on the Big Island and stayed at this most delightful B & B which was truly a “House of Peace” for us. Owners Ken & Sue Smith were most accommodating extending a discount for our longer stay. Inn Keepers, Adam & Pam Mather (along with 5 yr old Jade) went above and beyond to make our stay most enjoyable. From providing us with home made cracked wheat bread along with their breakfast self-serve buffet to supplying us with water & beach equipment, they served us royally. This well-equipped B & B is nestled up on the mountain side in the midst of a lush green landscape. It has the feel of being built in the old-style Hawaiian fashion almost like the “Swiss-Family Robinson” home. Although it has a sense of being secluded, it is in fact very accessible to all points of interest. With all of the amenities you could ask for including a covered hot tub, internet access and large screen TV’s with movies, we could not have asked for more. This will certainly be our point of destination and stay the next time we return to the Big Island! It is well-worth your stay! Don & Bonnie

House of Peace

I stayed at this awesome place for 18 nights. Had planned only to stay for the first 10 night but it ended up being 18 nights in total. The breakfast is fresh and you make your own omelet or scrumled eggs. Tell Ken (owner) in the morning if you want to use the hot tub in the evening. They heat up the tub by solar panels. The owners Ken and Sue and staff are very humble, nice and love caring people.Don't miss out on staying at this quite, peacfull and nice Inn. Vesa from Falkenberg, Sweden

Tranquility in Paradise

My husband and I came across Hale Maluhia while searching for the ideal Bed and Breakfast. We couldn't have located a more perfect residence for our 4 day Kona stay. "House of Peace" is the perfect name for this beautiful home. Surrounded by foilage, Birds of Paradise, a breakfast garden to enjoy in the morning (or anytime) filled with native birds and a waterfall as well as caring staff and owners - a traveler is bound to decompress from the Mainland and experience the spirit of aloha in this wonderful place. Our breakfasts were just awesome - a grand array of hawaiian fruits, delectable homemade breads and other goodies complemented the 'make your own' omelettes and waffles. And located in near proximetry to coffee plantations, the coffee is just the BEST!! We were joined on 3 of the mornings by a gecko who shared a piece of papya with us!! Our room was very comfortable, and the staff went out of their way to meet our needs and make us feel at home including being serenaded by beautiful piano music during breakfast. There is a peace here that almost defies explanation. If we are ever fortunate enough to return to the Big Island, we will be certain to stay again. John and Kathy Raimondi

What a find!

My husband and I spent a week at Hale Maluhia Sept. 2014. We chose this place because of the reasonable/welcome price and the friendliness evident in the on-line information. We hadn't been there 24 hours before we realized this is a very special place in terms of staff, atmosphere, natural beauty, friendliness, helpfulness. I actually told my husband that if I were unable to do anything else while in Hawai'i, I would go home content because of our Hale Maluhia experience. We felt sorry for people staying in some conventional hotel room in town. This place and everyone living/working there are full of character. We felt totally at home and free to ask for anything we needed. Our shower control knob was hard to use--it was replaced very quickly, as was the shower head. The openness and accessibility of each staff member led to fascinating conversations. The breakfast scene was truly a wonderful experience--the setting rich with color and shared with lovely birds, turkeys and chickens and brilliant green lizards eager for a lick of sweet fruit. Louis, the chef, put together a beautiful breakfast spread and I loved hanging around the kitchen admiring his work. We could make omelets using an array of delicious, healthy ingredients--and Louis often made the tastiest fruit smoothies. The Kona coffee was something to look forward to each morning too. Each morning was a rich experience, one we were sad to have to leave at week's end. Hale Maluhia is much more than a B&B--it is an enriching and memorable time in itself. We would love to go there again.

A place of paradise!!!

C’est un coin de paradis. Je ne pouvais pas espérer mieux. La maison est située en hauteur, dans une quasi jungle. Tout est là. Les oiseaux nous réveillent le matin, le bruit de la jungle nous berce la nuit. Le personnel est d’une amabilité, sympathie, serviabilité et éducation exemplaire. Le personnel de cette maison est très humain. J’ai apprécié les gens et le lieu et je retournerai volontiers. Mon séjour à durée 3 nuits (par manque de disponibilité des chambres). Les chambres étaient prises. Je suis resté du 11 au 14 avril 2015. Les chambres sont propres, les salles de bain aussi, bref je n’ai aucun mauvais commentaire. Tout était beau dans ce lieu de paradis qui m’a surpris. Pour moi, tout était parfait. Le parking est inclus et le petit déjeuner aussi. C’est un buffet ou j’ai rarement gouté à des aliments aussi frais que ça. De plus, il se donne sur une véranda qui donne une vue agréable sur la nature et les oiseaux qui l’occupent. Je recommande vivement ce lieu. Si vous voulez fuir la ville, jouir d’un endroit de paix, de beauté et d’humanité, c’est la place ou aller. Merci à tout le personnel pour votre sympathie et humanité. Note totale !!! bravo et bonne continuation. Je vous remercie! abdel ----------------------------------------------- This is a place of paradise. I could not hope more. The house is located on a hillside in a place like a jungle. Everything is there. The birds wake up us in the morning, the sound of the jungle at night lulls us. The staff is a kindness, sympathy, humanity, and with an exemplary education. The staff of this house is very human. I enjoyed the people and the place and I would stay and repeat again for sure. My stay 3 nights in duration (for lack of room availability). The rooms were taken. I stayed from 11 to 14 April 2015. The rooms are clean, the bathrooms too. I have really no bad comment. Everything was beautiful in that place of paradise that surprised me. For me, everything was perfect. Parking is included and breakfast too. This is a buffet. I have rarely tasted food as fresh as that. Moreover, it overlooks a veranda overlooking a pleasant view of the nature and birds that occupy it. I highly recommend this place. If you want to escape the city, enjoy a place of peace, beauty and humanity, this is the place to go. Thank you to all the staff for your sympathy and kindness. Total score !!! I hope you a good continuation. Thank you! abdel

Home away from home

What a wonderful place to stay! During our 2 week travels around the Big Island of Hawaii, we were fortunate enough to find this great, affordable B&B. Ken was very accommodating to our late arrival, and the breakfast each morning was outstanding! The rooms were cozy and the beds were comfortable. The residents of the house were super helpful in giving us fun places to explore. We enjoyed our stay so much that we cancelled a different hotel reservation and stayed here again when we came back to this side of the island at the end of our trip. If we ever visit Hawaii again, we will definitely be staying at Hale Maluhia! Mahalo!

A most pleasant place to stay in Hawaii.

My wife and I just returned from 10 days at Hale Maluhia and couldn't be more pleased with our choice of accommodations. Our room was sunny and bright and the air conditioner kept it at a comfortable temperature, important for my wife. The daily breakfast was fabulous with a wide variety of food to chose from in the kitchen. Dining was on the comfortable lanai where you could watch birds feeding in the bird feeder and on the grass. The staff was very friendly and helpful and always upbeat. The owner, Ken, is very knowledgeable about the island and was able to suggest many interesting places to visit. The price is very good considering the wonderful breakfast provided. My wife and I will definitely stay there the next time we visit the Big Island.

Peaceful Paradise near everything Kona!

Let me start by saying I am soooo happy we stayed here for a week during Ironman World Championship. My husband needed a place that was quiet and comfortable and we got it here at Hale Maluhia. We stayed in the Banyan House, which is a rustic cabin with plenty of room for a couple or family. This is nature folks - so don't expect every crack and crevice of this cabin to be sparkly and new, but it is very clean. What you can expect is a comfortable couch to lay on while watching a good selection of cable or a movie from the DVD library, a VERY comfy bed, the sounds of nature putting you to sleep every night (leave the windows open - there are screens and we had no worry about mosquitoes with the colorful geckos guarding the premises). We had a large enough fridge for my husband to put his drinks and water, etc. in to prepare for Ironman, microwave, plates, and more. The bathroom is large and the shower had great pressure, which is sometimes hard to find on Kona, even in the large hotels. There was no A/C in the cabin, common on the island; but we didn't need it. I know other rooms on the property have it. Every morning, the breakfast bell lets you know it's time to come on down to the main kitchen and get fed. I loved that bell! You can make your own omelette, which had plenty of fixings. Warm, homemade bread, fruit, juice and coffee to start your day. Sitting on the porch, you have a lovely view of finches, flowers, all kinds of trees and the geckos come to greet you. I think the best part of staying here is the friendliness of the staff. Ken, Sunny, (and the Elder Ken), everyone - SO kind and thoughtful. We felt like we were visiting our family. Ken and Sunny even noticed we weren't at breakfast the day after Ironman (which my hubby finished!). They brought breakfast up to the cabin. I would definitely stay here again!
