World Class Garden Residence

Located on the rugged and picturesque Puna coast of the Big Island, Hale Mohalu Guesthouse is a garden residence in paradise. The lush and verdant district of Puna provides the idyllic setting for this unique botanical retreat.
Situated on twenty-two acres with about 10 acres of manicured and well tended gardens. The property is filled with an extensive palm and bamboo collection along with orchids and fruit trees. The guesthouse commands sweeping ocean views to the east where the sun rises from the Pacific Ocean bathing the expansive garden and stone terrace in the early morning light...If you can pull yourself away, venture out to the nearby geothermal warm pools or the black sand beach for a sunrise swim.

Beautiful Mango wood floors, custom made furnishings from Bali and exceptional art combine to create an experience that is truly unique in the world of vacation rentals. The residence is nestled into a private botanical garden with extensive palm, bamboo, orchid and bromeliad collections, all staged within the context of manicured sweeping lawns and ocean vistas.

Estate managers are onsite, comfortably situated away from the main residence to ensure your utmost privacy.

Fresh tropical floral arrangements, all gathered from our exquisite garden, will greet you throughout the entire house. Beautiful linens, comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen await your arrival.

Unbelievably Beautiful
Pictures can not do this place justice. We felt so lucky to be able to stay at such an incredible property. Check-in was easy. The groundskeeper, Michael, was there to greet us and answer any questions. The house itself is really unique and special. However- the garden that surrounds you is absolutely breathtaking. If you are thinking about it, do it! I would absolutely stay here again.

Secluded Paradise
My family and I spent a wonderful week at Hale Muhalo. The property is even more beautiful in person and the house was clean, modern and extremely comfortable for a family of five. Michael is a wonderful host and the care he and his team put into the place really shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone who is looking for peace and tranquility on their trip to the Big Island.

Amazing garden, quiet retreat.
Quiet, ocean view off in the distance, amazing sunrises. It's a massive garden. Big enough to have a run through for a few laps. With edibles and flowers, the design took vision and tons of work. The house itself is great. We had a few unlucky power issues, but the house manager was so responsive, polite and pleasant it didn't bother us much. We are already scheming to come back here.

This has got to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. Before we arrived we were planning on exploring around Pahōa and Hilo, the moment we arrived we knew we had to change our plans and just stay at the property. It was perfect, Michael was great and gave us a tour of the grounds. Fresh fruit everywhere! Beautiful sunrise. It was so relaxing, we really want to come back!

Stunningly beautiful property
The house is literally situated in the middle of a botanical garden. If you want a peaceful getaway from the typical Hawaii tourism, this is it. The property isn’t too far away from other towns but seems remote, is quiet. We saw Hawaiian hawks, heard coqui frogs and were joined by curious day geckos.

A few days in paradise
Where to start. The pictures of this property do not do it justice. This beautiful cottage is right in the middle of the most breath taking botancial garden you will ever find on a map. You have the entire 21 acres to ah at. A different view out of every room that all walk out to a amazing deck area. We never really wanted to leave the property but when we did we found amazing black sand beach near by and some really cool hot pots. The house was spotless and everything works they way you would hope. Night time it has just enough outdoor lighting to entertain with . I cant wait to stay again.
