Honu Kai, set on a lush tropical 1.3 acre estate, offers a serene, Zen like feel amidst an old growth garden environment ... so relax, rejuvenate your senses and feel at one with nature — whether it’s lounging on the expansive lanai deck, listening to the water flowing into the koi pond, enjoying the garden jacuzzi under the Kona stars, or letting the occasional rain falling on the roof lull you to sleep.
Honu Kai is extremely conscious of our environment and embraces Mālama Honua. We are 100% solar powered and have been recognized as a Platinum Level Green Leader by TripAdvisor, their highest level of recognition. We use biodegradable toiletries, water efficient fixtures, Energy Star appliances, recycle waste, provide reusable water bottles, encourage towel and linen reuse, and serve locally sourced or on-site grown organic produce.
Set up in the temperate zone, we are always at a very comfortable temperature. Our unique Bed & Breakfast offers four rooms, each with en suite bathroom and personalized service beyond compare. There’s Mala Hale, a private bungalow with kitchenette and its own lanai; the Lani & Mahina suites, two large tree-top rooms with sundeck; as well as the spacious Nigori master suite with its separate deck area. A generous hot breakfast, varied daily, is served on the lanai with tropical fruits, Kona coffee, teas & juices. We are a fully licensed B&B and one of a few with a Hawai'i State Dept. of Health site permit allowing us to serve hot breakfasts. With advance notice we are able to handle any dietary or other special requirements.
The main floor is built around an open-air atrium and koi fish pond. The expansive covered lanai deck area offers separate dining and sitting areas for outdoor enjoyment while providing a full panoramic view of the lush landscape.
