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.

Deluxe Glamping Hammock Cabana

We just had a quick one night stay, but enjoyed our cabana. Good view of the distant ocean on a nice piece of property. The shower and toilet areas are very clean and convenient to our Cabana #1. The facilities were more than accommodating. Most spaces are shared spaces. Not a problem for us, but you will likely encounter other travelers, sort of hostel-style. Would recommend. Will need to stay longer next time to experience the nearby town. Not far from Akaka Falls.

Vacation dreams start here!

Single Hammock in a Coed Dormitory

If you want to experience Hawaii in a more relaxing environment to enable you to reconnect with nature, and even yourself, then this is exactly where you want to be! I went to Hawaii on a vacation by myself to get away and it was perfect! Disconnect from all the electronics and enjoy the beautiful views of the property! I honestly think staying here made me get out and explore more of the island, even when I was tired, because I didn’t have any electronics to distract me. The location is wonderful because you can see the sunrises from the top of the driveway every morning and all the stars at night. I actually forgot how amazing the stars are at night without any light pollution. Perfect place to either spend time alone relaxing or go up to the common area and chat with the girls that help run everything. They are all amazing ladies and one of them saved my life when a HUGE bee/hornet got in my cabana! She was brave enough to get the broom and get it on the floor to somehow get that thing back outside! I could never! It buzzed and I ran away screaming lol. The hammock was surprisingly very comfortable to sleep in considering my lower back hurts at times but no pain during this trip! The perfect temperatures at night keep you cool and comfortable. I can’t express how happy I am by making the decision to stay at the Hamakua Guest House and Cabanas! Thanks so much for making my trip to Hawaii more special than I imagined!

Great cabana! Hard to get out of hammock if you are older! Excellent bathroom facilities and great to have extra wash clothes close to use ! Thanks.

Deluxe Glamping Hammock Cabana

We had a wonderful experience at Glamping Cabana. Common areas were clean and easy to access. Showers and restrooms clean and hot water was a welcome after days of hiking. Loved sleeping in hammock- new experience- slept perfectly being serenaded by frogs. Matthew was responsive with communication and made us feel welcome. Cabanas were well built- screened in and had curtains that we could close at night when it was cooler. Great location!
