I cannot begin to describe how pleasant my experience was staying at Hale Maluhia Country inn. Dave and Miriam are two of the kindest, most faithful, and most welcoming hosts I have come across in my years of traveling. Aside from the property being beautiful, Dave and Miriam ensured my stay was comfortable and pleasant. Coffee was available every morning, the room I stayed in was adorable and clean, and Miriam had treats, fruit, and tea available for guests. The communal kitchen made it fun to talk to other guests and make some meals if you didnt feel like ordering out. I will highly recommend staying here to anyone who wishes to visit Kona.

Such a beautiful place thats close to downtown Kona (~10-15 min drive) but feels so tucked away in the rainforest. Beautiful views, bright stars, and rainforest sounds all around you. Such kind and generous hosts too! Fresh Kona coffee and fruit grown on the property every morning.

My husband and I stayed at the end of January with Dave and Miriam.
We typically stray away from BnBs due to our shyness but took the chance here since the photos inspired the lush and remote feel we were looking for. We did not want to stay at a posh resort.
I'm happy to say it was an even more pleasant surprise staying with the Cariveaus!
We were warmly greeted upon arrival and given a quick tour of the property before they let us settle in. Our five night stay was nothing short of wonderful.
Our suite was comfortable and sylish, kona coffee made fresh every morning, breakfast treats and hibiscus tea served and available throughout the day, lush rainforest scenery accompanied by wildlife noises, and all of our personal requests were happily accommodated. The property felt so homey and leisure!
I was in luck that their daughter Christina came to visit as she was able to offer massage services during our stay. I booked a 90 min session with her and she worked around my late schedule preferences. Needless to say this experience itself was incredible and I really enjoyed her massage. If she's around definitely ask to book a session!!!
We really felt so at home here. Even sitting on the lanai and watching the scenery around us under the trickles of light rain was a treasured moment in itself.
Dave and Miriam made sure to be available to exchange goodbyes when we departed. It was like visiting family and we will be sure to come back and finally book the elusive tea room!! Our stay hearts stayed in Kona at this house of peace!!
Rooms: Cute and homey!

At first I wasnt that impressed, but the warmth of the Owners, the little hidden places to enjoy the garden and the peace you feel just being on the property is such a welcome change from the cookie cutter sameness of the big chains. This place is luxury for your soul. Even the songs of the night birds were cathartic, like rain on a metal roof.

This is a MAGICAL place! Such beautiful, lush gardens and birds surround all the guesthouses! At night, the twinkling lights on the HUGE tree in front, and the sound of frogs is quite beautiful, and IMHO, part of 'the real Hawaii' experience! Hosts Dave and Miriam bent over backwards to make my 3-day stay this November very comfortable! Every AM, you can help yourself to fresh 100% Kona coffee and fresh-baked snacks and fruit. I would like to bring my husband back here with me next time!
