庫拉尼亞皮亞瀑布賓館(The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls)

A truly magical special place like any other. Words can’t describe. So much peace and serenity in this beautiful place. We were worried about spending the amount we did before getting there but honestly now that we have been feel it was priceless. There is a serenade of frogs and insects at night in addition to the raging water sounds of the falls that are way closer than they seen in photos of the property. There is a beautiful peaceful trail down to the falls with hidden benches and views. We even swam in the 50ft deep pool beneath the waterfall! The staff work from the heart in presenting the property and preparing the free breakfast (which is made from ingredients grown on the associated farm). I can’t say enough good things about this special place!

Lovely inn right next to a waterfall with great activities. Beautiful and secluded, well worth the extra little drive from Hilo. The resident cat was super friendly. The included (with an overnight stay) breakfast was delicious.

We were blown away by this property - definitely one of the top that we have stayed at with such an amazing ambiance! Lush greenery all the around with birds, fruit trees, and waterfall. We had an awesome view of the waterfall from our room. And loved the sound of it through the night. Everyone can enjoy that view from the breakfast area! This fall was actually better and without crowds than Rainbow fall. The private little serene trail on the property was a great surprise! The kitchen area in our building was also stocked with coffee/tea/muffins etc. we were able to store some leftovers as well as fruit we bought in the fridge. Stayed here for 2 nights but wish we could have stayed here 1 more night. The Hawaii tropical bio reserve and garden is about 25 mins away and was another pleasant surprise that’s a must-visit. Only thing I can think of as far as improvement is to have vegetarian options for meals - specifically the chef’s dinner. We didn’t do chef’s dinner because the staff was upfront with us about the menu (which we appreciated).

It was a very quiet place to stay out of town in nature. The falls were nice, unique feature. We were disappointed that we were not able to get any special dinner or farm to table lunch on short notice, even though they were not off.

This inn is more a retreat than a hotel. Location take a drive through country road, some one-lane. But once get there, the water fall is beautiful. It is a short hike from the hotel. There are only about 10 guest rooms. Staff are locals and very friendly. Breakfast is included for room stays. I like the home style kitchen where snacks and refrigerator is available. Very comfortable.

It was very nice except there is no A/C. Breakfast was excellent. We wished we had dinner option other than the Chef’s choice since it was out of our budget range. But the grounds are beautiful and unique.

The waterfall and pond was superb. The site was far from the crowds. The room was samll but fine, and shared dining area very good. Only suggestion - the breakfast would have been far better as a buffet. The breakfast booking process raised expectations too high.

Property was exceptional. The only issue is that I felt rushed with the inn trying to place a deposit hold on my card several times

This place is like nothing i've seen before. I enjoyed everything about it. The hospitality, the uniqueness, the view, the quiet. If you want to glamp, please spend time in the cabins. If you want an inn vibe, stay at the inn. But i would come back again and again. The waterfall is just spectacular.
