Cozy cottage in a very scenic part of Hawaii

Review Submitted: March 14, 2010 Date of Stay: December 2009
Hale Haumena is a wonderfully cozy, comfortable, and clean cottage in one of the most ideal locations on the Big Island. The surrounding area is beautiful, virtually free of VOG, and not as populated as other spots. The strip along the coast is a small sunbelt and thus gets less rain than most other places on the Hilo side. We spent our days rotating between the gorgeous black sand beach, soaking in the relaxing and rejuvenating warm ponds, and snorkeling at the Kapoho Tide Pools. The cottage offers all the basic amenities, a visually pleasing atmosphere, and a screened-in lanai. Hale Haumena is the perfect place for anyone with allergies, asthma, migraines, or chemical sensitivities as fragranced products are not permitted. All the environmentally safe ones are provided for your use in addition to scent-free bedding. We enjoyed a Qi Gong class at Kalani, the nearby yoga resort, which offers a variety of programs and massage. The local community offers a very friendly ambiance. After enjoying the local culture and beauty for just a week, we decided to move here permanently! It's a very special area of Hawai'i.

AN INSPIRATIONAL VACATION

Review Submitted: January 4, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
I won a week-long stay at Hale Haumea through TheChakra.org's Hawaii Sweepstakes. Wow - we never expected the trip to be so exciting! Lava started flowing again into the ocean just prior to our arrival (Pele had taken a break for several months and Kilauea Volcano was not spewing lava down the mountain). We were taken on a guided hike at sunset and between the flow of the lava creating fireworks and the billions of stars above us, it was breathtaking.

The days were also wonderful, from swimming on a black-sand beach with others brave enough to go bare, to snorkeling in a warm pond with two large and one baby turtle, to meeting the author of The Chakra Diaries for a yoga class at Kalani Oceanside Retreat Center, just a mile away. I'm hoping to enter and win again this year, as we didn't have enough time to see all the sights we wanted to - like Waipio Valley, but we were able to see three fabulous waterfalls in the Hilo area, so the falls at Waipio are something to look forward to.

My husband loved the aqua massage he got from the owner's friend (at a great discount) and I loved my lomi massage - my skin is still soft from the coconut oil. The cottage had everything we needed to feel comfortable and right at home, but the people we met probably made the trip for us - from the owner and her friends, they made sure we didn't miss one special site or event happening nearby.

Mahalo,
D. Stone

Traveling on the Puna Coast of Hawaii

Review Submitted: April 26, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
There are tourists and then there are travelers. We travelled to "Hale Haumena" and had a wonderful stay. Check you phone and laptop at the door, it does not work until you hit the main drag, but who cares, listen to some music, listen to the sounds. This eclectic, friendly neighbourhood comes with green initiatives throughout. Too bad we missed several of the Farmer's Markets. Take care of this impeccable well stocked "Hale." Use less, enjoy more. The frogs will rock you to sleep. Love to return. More traveling to do?
Recommended for:  Adventure Seekers, Sightseeing, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Thank you for being ideal guests - you cared for the Hale as if it were your own home. And yes, cell phones don't work until you reach the park at the bottom of the hill, and wireless internet is available one mile away at Kalani's internet cafe or at the Seaview Farmer's Market. Mahalo and please visit us again!

Great getaway cottage

Review Submitted: February 20, 2011 Date of Stay: February 2011
My wife and I spent 6 days at Diane's beautiful cottage. It is secluded and has great landscapeing. We especially enjoyed cutting the bananas off the tree and eating them. If you want to explore the volcanos and the black beaches, this is the place to be. The only drawback is cell phone reception and the lack of internet connection.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Sightseeing, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed your visit at Hale Haumea. On the Big Island, cell phone reception is sketchy outside of the towns. Luckily, reception is good at the park at the bottom of our hill, and WiFi is available at Kalani's roadside cafe 1 mile away.

Wonderful place!

Review Submitted: January 25, 2011 Date of Stay: January 2011
My husband and I spent three nights here and wished we could have stayed longer! The cottage is exactly as pictured and is quiet and secluded. We kept all the windows open, falling asleep to the sound of the tree frogs and waking with the birds. The kitchen was well equipped with appliances and utensils, and the washer and dryer were great to have. Shower had plenty of hot water and the water pressure was good. Definitely talk to Naia about the dolphins in the area and the laval flows nearby. Unfortunately we weren't able to see the lava flow due to rain, but she was a wealth of knowledge for us regardless. And absolutely take advantage of the discount offered by Sylvie, the massage therapist. My husband and I both had aqua massages at the nearby retreat and there is nothing like it in the world! The only drawback to this location is the distance from everything, which Diane has accurately pointed out in her description. All of the charter boats for dolphin and whale excursions leave from the Kona side of the island, a 2 1/2 to 3 hour trip from the cottage over a two lane road through the middle of nowhere. A disadvantage when you have to be there at 7:30 in the morning! But I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the Big Island.
