Culinary delights abound in the area, with fine dining options like Manta and Brown's Beach House making for unforgettable meals. For a more laid-back experience, visit Kohala Burger & Taco, Lava Lava Beach Club, or Hau Tree to unwind with good food and drinks on the beach.
No matter how you choose to spend your time at Hale Maka Kohola, you'll cherish every moment immersed in the beauty of the North Kohala Coast. Here’s what one recent guest had to say:
"We have been visiting the Big Island every year for the past 6 years, and this is top of the list of our favorite properties! We loved the warm, saltwater pool for a workout before or after our days adventuring. Everything was comfortable, from the king-sized bed to the lanai furniture. Most spectacular was the view and proximity to the ocean compared to other Kohala Ranch properties. We enjoyed the sunset so much we made it a point to be back by evening and only dined out three times during our month-long stay. There was simply no better setting to appreciate the beauty of the Big Island. Karen, the property manager, was a delight to work with. The house itself shows some age but doesn't take away from the wonderful vibe and experience. Karen was incredibly responsive to any requests. Without a doubt, we will return." - Theresa, San Luis Obispo, California, Date of arrival - May 28, 2021
