Coffee Garden0

The Coffee Garden BnB is located in an ideal location on the west coast of the Big Island, Hawaii. It is less than an hour’s drive from Kona International airport and a short drive to excellent snorkelling spots at Two Step beach and the Captain Cook monument. it’s also very close to the fascinating Pu’uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park. We really enjoyed our stay and meeting with our genial and very welcoming hosts Ping, Danny and Max. Our room was spacious, well equipped and we enjoyed watching the beautiful sunsets from our little balcony. Ping is a lovely lady and we were privileged to have a guided tour around her amazing, very productive garden - we have never seen such a variety of exotic fruit trees and bushes in one place! Given the opportunity, we would certainly love to stay again at the Coffee Garden BnB.

Nothing.

The view was spectacular. Our hosts were warm, and gracious, while providing us appropriate privacy. We asked for and got a lovely walk around the property with great descriptions of the various fruit trees (while the host handed us ripe fruit from the tree to eat at our leisure) and the history of the property. They provided good guidance for local activities. The breakfast was delicious and so fresh, including the eggs and fruit from their property. It was a warm and homelike experience.

A little more storage to unpack into would have been welcomed.

The owners of the B and B went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. They gladly offered the use of the snorkels,googles and umbrella for beach days. They also gave us headlamps and binoculars to view the lava at night. We felt so incredibly welcome. The breakfasts made by Ping were delicious! Stelley and Max were so helpful. The area is incredibly peaceful and you only hear the sounds of nature. We were offered to help ourselves to the amazing fruit growing in Pings enormous garden.

Its about a 20 minute drive from the centre but otherwise nothing else.

Our hosts were amazingly friendly and helpful! They showed us around their garden and picked fresh fruit for us everyday! When we needed water shoes unexpectedly, they loaned us their own, making our trip to Kealakekua Bay perfect! Our room was comfortable and had a small private lanai where we could sit and enjoy the sunset or the amazing night sky! Honaunau was a great location with many little independent places to eat very close by

We had an amazing time staying at Coffee Garden BnB after a few busy traveling days. It is very quiet and family ran. The hosts are very friendly and warm-hearted. We had an opportunity to relax here and learned more about local living. If you get lucky, you may get up early and help auntie in the garden to pick some fresh fruits. Tastes so good. 😋 This place is close to Kona but less busy. It is also near the famous captain cook monument. We chose to hike down and snorkel there. That's one of the best snorkel places I've snorkelled. I'd highly recommend this BnB to anyone who likes nature and enjoys cottage feel like living. We would come back again.

Peaceful 2-room B&B on a property with a large garden and lots of friendly house pets. Our room was simple but comfortable and came with a little deck. We paid for breakfast one morning and got a generous and tasty meal made with food picked from the garden. Our host was very friendly and helpful, and the property was quiet.

It's a bit of a drive to the Kona restaurants and beaches from here, but that worked out OK for us; we took the chance to explore the area. We had a little trouble getting our keys upon arrival, so I suggest specifying arrival time in advance and calling the host as you approach to confirm that she's there.

Beautiful location. Friendly, helpful hosts who are happy to share the delicious fruits from their beautiful garden/farm. Tasty breakfast and coffee. Excellent Wi-Fi. Hosts speak Mandarin and English.

The coqui tree frogs in this area are quite vocal at night. We were able to sleep using a combination of earplugs and a white noise machine for background noise. The entrance from the road can be easily missed, especially when driving at night. Pay attention to the photo of the entrance sent by the owners as it will be very helpful.

We loved the garden tour and seeing all of the different fruit trees. We even got to see the wild pigs that occasionally visit and are kept out behind a low wall. Unfortunately since we visited in April, many of the fruits weren't yet ripe. The room was delightful even with its tiny bathroom and 'kitchen' area - they had everything we needed. And the cross air flow & fan worked very well, at least in April. We ordered breakfast one time and it was delicious, but too much for us as we usually don't eat breakfast at all. But it was a generous portion with omelet, juice or coffee, and two pieces of toast with homemade guacamole from their avocado tree. We also enjoyed the company of their dog and several cats. Being 1000' high cut the humidity, but also made for more rain. There were a few small places nearby to eat and drink as well. We had rented a car, so it was easy to drive to where we wanted to explore. The covered porch that Stan built onto the house is amazing and provides a lovely place to hang out if you wish, although it's a little uncomfortable when the family is eating dinner out there as I felt we were encroaching on family time. There are currently only two rooms so it's quiet, as long as the people in each room are!

A big thing for me was no complimentary coffee and tea in the mornings and evenings. I thought that was part of being a bed and breakfast and adds a very welcoming feeling. It would be easy enough to leave a pot of coffee out at those times if the guests are interested, and just to leave some tea bags out since there are cups, water and a microwave in the rooms. I did request it one morning for my husband, and was obliged albeit with the comment that it was usually just for those who order breakfast, and was offered it once by the dad, which was lovely after a rainy day.

Loved the location. It was beautiful and serene. Be careful, because it is a quick turn off the main road that can easily be missed if you are speeding. Drive safely! Totally worth the stay and the price. Host and hostess were kind and accommodating. Place was comfortable and I slept great!

Minor outdated items in the restroom. Nothing that got in the way of our stay, but just to take note of.

We loved this B&B. We had a separate little apartment with a separate entrance that overlooked the lovely landscape of fruit trees and rainforest in the background. The room was clean and had enough space for my husband and me and a twin bed off to the side for our son, plus a kitchette and little bathroom adjoining. The hosts were so nice and bent over backwards to try to make us happy. The home-cooked breakfasts were wonderful and I loved the fresh-squeezed fruit juice with fruit straight from their garden. Our son loved that they had many cats and a sweet dog and he learned all their names. The location of the B&B is off the beaten track and really feels like you're away from it all. I loved the views, the rainforest surrounding the place, and the sound of the coqui frogs at night. But despite this peaceful solitude, it's still close enough to go for a hike to the Captain Cook monument (--- rent your own snorkling gear somewhere and you can just go right in the water to snorkle for free and you may see lot of other tourists coming from boats and paying a lot of money to snorkle). If you do this hike, bring water and wear good hiking shoes as it's a rigorous, steep hike. Also wear long sleeves and pants (with swimsuit underneath) as there are tall reeds that go over your head that whip against your arms in that section of the trail.) The B&B is also only 45 minutes or so to the city where you can go to a Luau. We did (at the Courtyard Marriot). The Luau was completely booked but we got on the wait list and showed up hoping to get in and we did. (Get there early and tell them you're on the waitlist. Also, dress up as this is a little more formal-- many in Hawaiin shirts.) It was really a high point of our visit. We would love to go back to this B&B and hope we can do so some day. So friendly and the landscape is so beautiful.

Everything was fine.
