After
leaving the airport, turn right on Highway 19, which will merge into
Highway 11 at Palani Road. Continue on about 2 more miles south past the
town of Kailua-Kona, and watch for a green reflective sign on the right
that says Holualoa 3 Miles. Turn left at that intersection and go up
the hill. (There is no stoplight, only a left turn lane). The name of
our road is Hualalai Road.
About 1 ½ miles up
this windy road, you will see 10 MPH signs on the right to slow down for
a very sharp horse shoe turn. Also look for the 4 round blue reflectors
on a power pole. Our Inn is in the middle of the horse shoe curve on the
right. There is a lighted lamp post and a sign above the mailbox, Hale
Maluhia Bed & Breakfast . For our Maile, Pikaki, Makua and Malia Rooms
please turn into this concrete driveway in the center of the curve and
go clear to the end to the second garage door. The front door will be on
the right, porch lights will be on.
Please ring the
Queen Mary ships bell at the office upon your arrival, we will be looking for you. For returning guests, you may go directly to your room, the key is in the door.
For our Banyan
Cottage please continue on around and past this driveway, and look for
the second mailbox that says "Banyan C". The number on the mailbox is
76-770 Hualalai Road. This is also visible at night. Turn right
immediately into the Banyan Cottage parking area. The porch light will
be on and the key will be in the door, you can go right in. We will be
watching for you. If it is late, we will catch up with you in the
morning. It is best to park with the back of the car to the Cottage for
better vision in leaving.
Note: if you reach Lako Street on
Highway 11, you have gone a little too far. Turn around and go north
about a mile and look for the Holualoa 3 miles sign, and turn up the
hill 1 ½ miles and as above. Hualalai Road is 1 mile north of Lako
Street.
From
Hilo:
Proceed north toward Kona on Highway 11 from the Volcano,
passing through 4 stop lights: Kamehameha III, Sea View, Lako Street.
Look for the green
Holualoa 3 miles sign, and turn right up the hill.
Proceed as above.
If you can give us
an approximate arrival time that would be great, as some of the flights
come in late. Please let us know if you have any questions. We wish you
pleasant travels and look forward to your visit.

Hale
Maluhia Country Inn is truly a "house of peace" with a old Hawaiian
Plantation feel in the country. The Inn is very comfortable and truly has a touch
of aloha from old Hawai'i. But it is not possible to control the country
environment in our beautiful Hawaii setting. Chickens and wild turkeys may sometimes
make a racket. A hen is setting only a few feet from our driveway. Our little country road is some what busy during
commuter hours. And Hawaii has a few bugs and no frost so we have gecko’s
on inside watch. We truly enjoy this local ambiance and love living in the
country. So please call us if you have any concerns.
