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 and 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.

This was one of the best VRBOs my family of five has ever stayed in. It was absolutely beautiful, and the grounds were stunning. It was incredibly private and peaceful and unique -- truly a highlight of our visit to Hawaii. I wish we could have stayed longer.

This property is very beautiful. We had a great time on our trip and it was always great to come back to the hot tub overlooking a tropical paradise. Michael was very helpful with everything, and was very fast to respond when an issue came up. We will definitely stay here again if we make it back to the big island.

Very welcoming house manager. Clean, quiet, and beautiful landscaping. I can tell it was thoroughly thought out. Areas for improvement is just covers over the skylight in the master bedroom and master bathroom for sleeping. We thought there would be a remote but there didn’t seem to be. Other than that amazing.

Wow what an amazing place! I could have spent weeks admiring all the plants and trees and still found new beauty. Everything is so thoughtfully put together. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and inside and out everything was super clean. Michael was so kind to show us around the property as well.

A place of magic and unexpected beauty.

The entire experience was as expected and better. The photos do not do the property justice — though they accurately represent how amazing it is — and Michael is a fantastic connecting and caretaker of the property. I hope we can return year and year.
