Beautiful 2 bedroom Duplex between Hilo and Puna

The Ho'okele Duplex is a wonderful base within an hour of all the main attractions on the East Side of the Big Islands; Volcano National Park, the Hot Ponds along the Red Road, the charming towns of Hilo and Puna/ Pahoa, smoking lave tubes, and some of the newest beaches in the world. A great spot for the holidays. A high standard of cleanliness and Covid precautions.
This 2 bedroom, one full bath is the lower floor of a duplex home with Tropical decor with an efficient kitchenette with full refrigerator, living room space, and outdoor dining space and BBQ. On a 3-acre permaculture and aquaponics farm with organic fruit, veggies, and fish. Handicap accessible with shower and toilet accessory equipment.
Located in Orchidland, between Hilo and Puna/ Pahoa, 2 blocks from the highway on a paved road, less than 30 minutes from the Hilo International Airport. Gated estate with secure parking and security lights. Boogie boards, snorkel gear, and beach towels are provided. Less than 30 minutes to Volcano National Park, where the lava is currently flowing and erupting! An amazing experience to see the active lava in the park and the Mars-like environment of Fishure 8, where the lava erupted two years ago. One of the most unique experiences in the world!

If you can rent this place don’t miss out !
We saw this on VRBO when we got there it was as advertised very nice and relaxing Jonas was great to deal with. We ran around durning the day and hung around in the evening enjoying the patio and sounds of the frogs . If Jonas offers to take you on a tour don’t pass it up its wonderful and you see Hawaii like no other.

Highly recommend!
We cannot thank Jonas enough for making our stay so special! My husband is an amputee who uses a wheelchair sometimes. It's not easy to find a place in Hawaii that is wheelchair friendly! Jonas built a ramp for us for the one riser in the apartment! WOW! He was very accommodating to any of our needs. Ho'okele aquaponics farm is much more than just a place to stay. So much fruit! Lilikoi, bananas, pineapple, papaya and more! Not to mention the fish! There's solar tiki torches and lights around the grounds that add a cool ambiance. The place had everything I needed to cook. Beds were very comfortable. It was nice to chill in the lounge chairs in the yard. Beach gear available. I couldn't ask for more. There are a couple of other places to stay here so if you're lucky you may meet a new friend or two! Jonas told us about some cool places to explore, and even took us on a tour of fissure 8! We were lucky enough to be there for his Christmas party too. FUN! Also Aloha Fridays! We will be back!

Needs a good cleanup.
The flooring is in poor shape. Also the sofa and chairs were dusty. Everyone who stayed there suffered from the dust and mold. There is uneven layer in flooring which not marked properly and has sharp edge that needs to be fixed. If these things are taken care of, the house is good. Outdoors are good, too.

Great host, fun experience!
This property was a short drive outside of Hilo, but so worth it. The property was very clean, safe, and a unique experience. Jonas and Hannah are the best hosts! They are very accommodating, gave amazing recommendations, had everything on site you would want (including snorkeling gear), and even gave us a private tour. Our experience on the big island wouldn't have been nearly as awesome had we stayed anywhere else. These two were great tour guides and very fun to be around. If you are into happy hour, interacting with your hosts, and fun adventures, I definitely recommend staying here!

Excellent stay!
We had a great stay at this property, which was a little out of the way, but great for day trips. A car is a must. From here we went to waterfalls, beaches, caves, volcanoes and farmers markets. Jonas and Hannah were lovely, friendly, laid back and knowledgeable about the area. They offered suggestions of interesting places to visit and left passion fruit and papayas that were ready to eat for us to enjoy. The place was lit up a night with solar lights. We won’t forgot seeing a glowing potato flying through the sky for fun.

Loved our stay!
Enjoyed our time with Jonas and Hannah. They were down to earth, shared some local spots to check out and even let us catch fish from their tanks! If you are looking for a mellow space to launch your island adventures from, this place is great!
