My wife and myself stayed at this lovely, sucluded, and great breakfast's bed & breakfast. The room was clean and very tastefully decorated. Our resident Inn keeper named Leai was a great cook. Whatever we wanted for breakfast was made with fresh fruit if possible from the grounds and the best macadamia nut waffles you ever will ever eat. The grounds will wisk you away to a peaceful state of mind. Walk through the bamboo gradens and the waterfall is so freah and clean. Truly a small piece of heaven on earth. The inn is only about a 10 minute ride from the center of Hilo so the local sights do not demand hours of driving.

We stayed in the hormony house in a second floor room over looking the waterfall. It was clean, had a great location, and fantastic view.

We experienced flight delays, & Lenny was so patient & cooperative with us. No problems finding the Inn either. Breakfast is wonderful complete with great coffee, macadamia nut cinnamon Belgian waffles, copious fruit, & various preparations of eggs to fortify us for our daily adventures. We slept like babes since the B&B is quiet other than the lovely sound of the waterfall & the tree frogs singing us to sleep.

This was our first stay at a bed and breakfast and we made a wonderful choice. The directions to the location and what we were to do when we arrived were accurate and easy to follow. It was very nice after a long plane ride not to have to wait around to be officially checked in. We had a wonderful visit and left feeling refreshed and ready to face the real world again. We will definitely be back.

we stayed for 3 nights (Maile room) in late January 2013 and were very impressed with the Inn. The view of the falls, friendly staff and fantastic breakfasts (macadamia nut waffles) made our stay very enjoyable. Don't be put off by the secluded location - it is well worth the short drive from Hilo.
5 out of 5Outstanding place to stay!

We stayed in the Prince room in the Residence House. The room was clean, spacious, and very peaceful. The view from the dining area was breathtaking.....imagine eating breakfast outside right next to a gorgeous waterfall!! It was unreal! The breakfast each morning was fabulous....eggs cooked to order, and the best Mac nut waffles you will ever have. The bamboo garden was beautiful, and the path through the gardens led to the base of the waterfall where you could swim with the permission of the owners. The whole vibe here is of zen and meditation. It's a place to find peace and serenity, which we very much did. We can't wait to return.
4.6 out of 5A very unique place

We spent two days and nights at the Inn on New Years Eve and were amazed that the location was even more beautiful than the pictures can show. Sleeping just a few hundred feet from the waterfall was wonderful with the peaceful sounds of the water rushing and tropical birds. This is a very peaceful and beautiful spot.

My wife and I stayed in harmony house Pikake room. Its a good size house with big kitchen and living area. Very peaceful to sleep with the sounds of the waterfall at the back. Leah & Jasmine were super helpful for breakfast; they make yummy eggs and macadamia waffles (a must!!). Good portions of fruits, juice, coffee and bread are also provided. Wireless internet works pretty good upstairs. Few things to recommend for the owner 1) Put an ironing board and a hair dryer for each room OR at least in a common area for the ladies to use 2) Talk to guest personally, I was hoping to talk to owner to get some idea with regards to activities in Hilo. Even though brochures and activity books are provided in the living area but it's different when you talk to local. I had to talk to Jasmine after breakfast to get some ideas. 3) Install a sensor solar light (with timer) on the parking area for the Guests because. Anybody can trip and injure on the property at night; I had to use the flash light feature on my cell phone to walk safely from the parking lot to the harmony house on a rainy night. 4) Install a phone line in the common area, not everybody checking in would have a cell phone that's free to use without incurring the roaming charge. The cell phone signal is pretty spotty in the area. tips for the new arrival: Try to check-in to the Inn during daytime if you can so that you would know what to expect when driving into the area. I arrived in Hilo around noon and I checked-in right away since I read that first time driving into the area can be tricky especially at night. They do have signs posted on the road which was helpful while its still bright. The drive to the inn is very peaceful and gorgeous, you would pass thru a huge macadamia nut field. First time arriving at the Inn can be creepy at night since its a pitch black area and one might wonder if he/she is heading in the right direction
