Pahala Plantation Cottages

Although the address listed was wrong, and the Trip.com didn’t forward my phone number to the owner, she was able to find me after I called. The place is large enough to sleep 5 people, and we are able to shop close by and cook dinner. We liked the authentic feeling of small town Hawaii.

Julia is great to work with. We rented a small cottage, but got a huge plantation house all to ourselves. Amazing place. Closer to Volcano National Park than Hilo.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Plantation. Truly a hidden gem. These properties are beautiful. The walls truly tell a story of days gone past while you’re resting, rejuvenating and enjoying connecting with your loved ones. Every building is designed uniquely and is one of a kind. We hope to back for a longer stay in the future.

Let your customers know there’s like 20 dogs next door that bark through the night, I left early due to this. I will no recommend this cottage at all.

Place was so sketchy we decide not to stay the address was not on the door and they said they would leave on a light. Everyone had on lights. Dogs barking chickens crowing. Sketchy people all over. Didn’t feel comfortable so we left. Would like to get a small refund but we’ll see.

This is a unique plantation style house. It is very spacious and filled with beautiful antique furniture. It has a full kitchen and dining area. The porch out front is an amazing place to relax in the evenings.

Neat cottage which could be nice with some simple updates and quality beds and bedding. Beds were old and poor quality, sheets don’t stay on and no mattress cover do on a bare old mattress (yuck). Bathroom smelled of pee, maybe was the rotten floor. Main issue is the roosters and the dogs. Unless you’re deaf you won’t be able to sleep.

For the age of the place,it's in great condition. I like the patina and the comfort of older places. Private and comfortable.

This is a very interesting property that allows to experience traditional living in the islands. It may not be for everyone, but if you understand that this is not a resort stay you will find it charming. It reminded us of the type of accommodations that you find in the rural areas of Europe. We had made reservations for a 1 bedroom cottage but got a 3 bedroom house instead. It had windows all around and ceiling fans that kept it nice and cool. Julie was very accomodating and graciously allowed us to store our food in the refrigerator much earlier than our check in time. We did stay only 1 night and went back to our timeshare because they didnt have any vacancies for that night :( but it worked out really for us. It is not far from the Volcano National Park.
