Experience the Heavenly Enchanting Waterfall in Hilo

Discover an unforgettable retreat at our unique Heavenly Enchanting Waterfall in Hilo, nestled in a botanical paradise within the family-operated Mauna Kea Cloudforest Bioreserve and Farm. Perched above the pristine Hamakua coastline, you're only a short drive from downtown Hilo. This charming, kid-friendly two-bedroom Ohana is perfectly situated in front of a breathtaking private waterfall, offering both a large swimming hole and over half a mile of exclusive riverfront nature preserve.

The area is alive with native birds, including the majestic Hawaiian hawk, who call the Mauna Kea Cloudforest Bioreserve home. Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of cascading water and breathe in the invigorating mountain air that surrounds you.

Your stay will be in our enchanting two-level cottage, located right by the awe-inspiring Kikala waterfall and adjacent to the Kikala stream. With stunning views and unparalleled tropical mountain beauty, you'll feel completely connected to nature. The majestic waterfall and swimming hole are just steps from your door, allowing you access to over half a mile of private stream front, showcasing vistas that could rival any National Park.

This paradise is ideal for families; kids can roam free and engage with nature, enjoying activities such as petting our goats, cuddling with cows, and splashing in the river. Despite the rural setting, you are only 12 minutes from the vibrant heart of Hilo.

As a hosted rental, while you retain your own private space, please note that the host resides on the property and is available to assist you if needed. Our outdoor areas are shared, providing opportunities to connect with fellow guests while enjoying the charm of our waterfall, river, and petting farm featuring goats and sheep, all set against a backdrop of fruit trees and meadows.

Ideal for families and child-friendly travelers, you’ll feel embraced in our community-focused atmosphere as we welcome you to our Mauna Kea Cloudforest Bioreserve. With children of our own, we love hosting other families and ensuring that kids feel at home.

Our working farm is filled with friendly fowl, goats, and crops, adding to the lively ambiance complemented by the sounds of nature. Located at an elevation of 1,600 feet along the beautiful Hamakua Coast, the climate boasts pleasant balmy days with cool nights—ideal temperatures range from 64 to 77°F during the day and 59 to 66°F at night. As this is a cloud forest, expect a delightful mix of sunshine, clouds, mist, fog, and occasional rain throughout the day.

You’ll find comfort in casual wear like shorts and t-shirts, with no need for air conditioning. Although just a quick 15-minute drive will take you to the lively streets of Hilo, you’ll feel as though you’re tucked away in a secluded mountain retreat, surrounded by waterfalls, swimming holes, and a magnificent nature preserve.

A car is essential for exploring the area since public transportation options are not available in Hilo. Please remember, our farm maintains a strict 100% smoke-free policy, so smoking is prohibited anywhere on the property.

Rest assured, your experience awaits you at our remarkable Heavenly Enchanting Waterfall in Hilo, a true haven for those seeking adventure and relaxation alike.
