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,

This was not what we expected. Unfortunately, because of a sudden death, communication with business was not easy. We appreciate that our reservation was still available when we arrived. Once we located the plantation house, we were greated by mourning family and directed to our accommodations. We had a spacious home, but it was very well used and showed it's age. Unfortunately, we do not believe they will continue the cottage business.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We chose this place for the two bedrooms, kitchen and location (between Hilo and Kona- not in a big city). The space was really generous with two larger bedrooms (one with queen and one with two beds), Jack and Jill bathroom, a kitchen, living room, laundry. We loved being out of a big city- about two hours from Kona and one hour from Hilo. Take this into consideration if you plan to be in a city on some days. Parking is right in front of the door which was really convenient and internet was very fast. Communication with the host was good (via text mostly) and directions to the place were sent the day of arrival. Although not in a big city, don't expect quiet! There were chickens, cats and other animals which were very loud, especially in the morning. We loved it- but for those who need quiet, it's good to know. There is a unit sharing a wall with the one we occupied and the people in there were very loud (and used choice language I would have preferred my own children not hear...); we could hear every word and assume they could hear us as well. The biggest drawback was the kitchen- there were bugs in the drawers, and the dishes and items weren't terribly clean. We ended up buying disposable utensils and easy to prepare food to avoid use of the equipment in the unit. We realize that the big island is known for bugs, but this was a bit outside our comfort zone for the intended purpose of the space for this trip. These are good to know items before booking! Many pluses.
