Mango Sunset BnB Inn at Lyman Kona Coffee Farms
-
Our ocean views of about five miles of coastline are inspiring. Our 3,000 tree Kona Coffee farm is still at an early stage; guests are offered a free eco tour. The Inn was custom built as a BnB in 2004. We are characterized by privacy and serenity, overlooking the ocean from 2000 feet, only minutes from town and airport.
From our Lanai, you are overlooking Lyman Kona Coffee Farms and viewing 5 miles of Pacific Ocean coast -- 2000 feet below.
Our Activity Room has a free guest computer with very fast internet connection, board games, VCR and video tapes, as well as our guest kitchenette. Some of our guests take their morning meals here, but most prefer their Lanai.
All three of our airy guest rooms have the same ocean view, and have six foot wide glass doors to their Lanai. This O'ooau-kai Room has two XL Twin Beds, the other two have Queens. All have the most comfortable beddig, with extra pillows of different size and firmness. All rooms have ceiling fans, are insulated for sound. They also have plenty of space to place and hang your things.
Innkeepers and Guests take their breakfasts on the lanai, enjoying the sweeping views, the sound and sights of the birds and our famous hot breakfasts.
As a Certified Coffee Estate we roast our own Organic Kona Coffee fresh each week.
We are a working Kona Coffee Estate. Of 750 Kona Coffee farms, only about 40 are "Certified Estates".
Our "Manager" Karen Johanna Lyman Eckert keeps an eye on things.
When our coffee trees bloom, we call it "Kona Snow"

My husband and I stayed at Mango Sunset for four delightful nights and days. It is a unique experience to stay at a working coffee farm combined with a B & B. Hans and Marsha spoiled us with their outstanding estate grown, roasted on the premises, high quality organic Kona coffee each morning alongside fruit juices and fresh fruit salad made with some of their own fruits. On our first morning this was followed by a wonderfully crafted breakfast of home-made cheese blintzes slathered with sour cream and jam. The following day Hans made corned beef hash, eggs and cheese with herbs and a lovely tomato salad with additional herbs Marsha snipped from their garden. Our room, the Nai'a, faced the garden area while the other rooms had the advantage of looking out down to the ocean. Breakfasts were taken under the gazebo looking over the coffee trees and downward to the water while listening to and watching the birds at the feeders placed strategically nearby. Hans and Marsha are a fount of information about the culture and history of the area and along with their extensive library of books and maps in the kitchen area which guests are free to browse they gladly answer all questions. Hans is a former professor, among many other careers, and loves to regale guests with his stories while imparting much information about coffee cultivation and roasting, as well as almost any other topic you might want to discuss. Classical music playing in the background during the day is a nice treat. While the B & B is a bit out of the way if you don't wish to go down the hill into Kona for provisions or dinner, there is a charming market less than a mile from the house where you can take out prepared meals or hand-tossed pizza. All in all we would recommend staying at Mango Sunset and hope you do have the opportunity to see one of those beautiful sunsets while you are there.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mango Sunset BnB Inn. Possibly the best part were the breakfasts on the lanai looking out over the landscape and the ocean below. Coffee lovers beware. You could get hooked. The coffee alone was worth the price of the room. As a bonus you might also have the pleasure of an interesting and detailed explanation or even a tour of the coffee growing and roasting process as they do it at Lyman Kona Coffee. We definitely recommend staying here.
5 out of 5Lovely stay in paradise!
November 12, 2012
We had a fantastic stay at the estate. Breakfasts were served on the lovely back patio with sweeping views of the ocean and the surrounding areas. The first day Marsha made waffles with a fantastic home made lilikoi syrup that was to die for. Then Hans took us on a tour of the estate and showed us how he dries and roasts his coffee, which we of course bought because it is fantastic! The next day Hans made German pancakes with guava jam with was delight to eat. The rooms were lovely with wood floors and hawaiian decorations. Thank you Hans and Marsha for your hospitality!

Innkeepers Description:
When, after 20 years of visits, we decided to settle in Hawaii, we named our 8 acre Kona Coffee farm after Marsha's ancestors, The Lymans, who came to the island as Missionaries in 1832. We cleared the virgin land, planted 3200 coffee trees, and built the BnB, barn, and our own house. We are enthusiastic divers, love to bike, hike, & be one with nature whenever we can (and are not sitting behind our computers or on the tractor).

5 out of 5Perfect for our honeymoon
October 18, 2012
We spent four nights at the Mango Sunset BnB. It was a highlight of our honeymoon. The breakfasts were great. Hans' & Masha's company at breakfast was wonderful. It was great to sit, eat on the Lanai and to learn so much about the island, the world, and the world of coffee. The view is magnificent, the bed was the most comfortable I've been on in months. And the coffee! I can't express how much Hans' advice about getting around and things to see came into play for our vacation. We will certainly be returning to Hawai'i, and when we do, we will be staying at the Mango Sunset BnB again.
4.0 out of 5Peaceful location, friendly hosts
August 03, 2012
We stayed for two nights and had a lovely time. Room was clean and comfy, views from the lanai were great, particularly the beautiful sunsets, and the hosts were warm and welcoming. Home cooked breakfasts make a nice change from the minimal "continental" breakfast in most B&Bs I've stayed in. Only takes a few minutes to drive in to town or the airport but the quiet atmosphere makes it feel like you could be miles away. Hans is passionate about what he does and was always friendly and chatty. Have already recommended to our friends!
5 out of 5Best coffee ever
August 01, 2012
Our stay at mango sunset was a great experiance Hans and Marsha were awsome hosts, the home made breakfasts and organic coffee were a great start to the days I spent in Kona. The views were great and the location was very convenient. This is a B&B you cant miss. Dont miss a chance to converse with the owners, they are quality people with a far reaching history in Hawaii.
5 out of 5Outstanding Views and Best Coffee in Kona!
July 01, 2012
This b & b is not to be missed as Hans and Marsha are wonderful hosts. We very much enjoyed our stay at their beautiful place, and the sunset views high above Kona are a treat for anybody. The rooms were clean, and the breakfasts were just awesome- especially the lilikoi pancakes and the coffee. As a Big Island resident, but living on the Hilo side, we often get a chance to try many kinds of Kona coffee but Hans coffee is the best. Their coffee has almost a rich, creamy taste with the french press coffee we were served in the morning having nearly a foamy head, reminiscent of freshly roasted Peet's coffee. It is worth to stay at the Mango Sunset just for a chance to try their coffee. Plus, Hans is very knowledgable about natural history and farming, so I learned a lot from him.

Directions to property:
From Kona Town: Leave town going EAST ( uphill) on Palani Drive (that's the continuation of Ali'i Drive). Stay on Palani Drive (Hwy 11) for about 5 miles, until you pass Matsuyama Store and the well lit 76 Gas Station (the only one on the road). Then turn Right into our driveway, as described below.

Directions to property:
After getting your car and meeting the Highway (# 19, Queen Ka'ahumanu), turn RIGHT ( South) towards Kona. Within half a mile, you come to the first Traffic Light. Go LEFT on KAIMINANI Drive. Stay on it (about 3.5 miles) until it ends (you'll be going uphill through the "Kona Palisades" area). Kaiminani ends on Mamalahoa Highway. Go LEFT ( North). Before you turn, you'll see a 76 Gas Station on your right. That's the "landmark" Matsuyama Store. Going NORTH (Left) on Mamalahoa Highway for no more than 500 yards, you'll see two concrete driveways next to one another on the Right (Mountain, Mauka) side. The left or second one is 16 ft. wide and is ours. Turn RIGHT into the 2nd (left) driveway--it is new and turns from concrete to asphalt half way up. Stay on it all the way to our house -- for about 2500 feet. Stop at the house to unload. The Parking Lot is above in the house.
