The Treehouse

Welcome to our Treehouse at Hakalau! The only way to stay closer to the ocean would be in a boat. Watch the cruise ships slowly pass by knowing that the passengers aboard are truly envying your accommodations. This quaint and unassuming second story home offers 180 degree views of the mighty Pacific ocean! Relax and watch seasonal whales as they breach the blue water, spinner dolphins chase a passing fishing vessel, and the rising sun as it welcomes you to an amazing array of morning colors.



Staying on an oceanfront cliff house in Hawaii will greatly enhance your lifetime experiences. It is super special and magical, listening to and feeling the thunder beneath your feet. This is a truly magical experience.......

Upon entering the gates at The Cliffs at Hakalau, you will walk through park like grounds that will lead to a beautiful cliffside home.

As you enter the front door, look right and your attention is immediately drawn to the large windows and sliders in front of you show casing the vast ocean. The sliding glass doors lead out to a huge elevated deck giving you a "treehouse" type feel. Here you can spend endless hours enjoying the cool breezes from the ocean, sipping on a morning cup of coffee or watching spinner dolphins and whales playfully swim by. During whale season, there may even be nights when you can hear the whales singing. Every evening you will see cruise ships pass by..... And do not forget to spend some time star watching. You will see the most amazing constellations!

The windows have blackout curtains to shade the interior and cool the house during peak sunshine hours.

Need more room? You can also rent the neighboring main home "The Cliffs at Hakalau" - ask us if it is available for your dates. Sleeps six.

Amazing property! Exceeded all expectations. Only suggestion would be to have more comfortable seating spots in the living area. Otherwise, we couldn't believe how lucky we were to be staying in such an exquisite place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home while visiting our son who lives on the island, and it was especially meaningful that he could stay with us during our time there. The home is very comfortable, welcoming, and provided everything we needed to relax and enjoy our visit.The view is truly incredible — the kind that draws you in each morning and makes it difficult to leave. It created a peaceful backdrop for our entire stay.We left feeling grateful for our time here and would happily return. If you value comfort, tranquility, and a spectacular view, this home is a wonderful choice.

Beautiful Views in a peaceful location

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse. The views from the deck were amazing, especially for sunrise. It was clean, well appointed and in a very quiet setting. We only got to spend one night here, but wouldnt hesitate to book here again. The property manager was very responsive.

Great guesthouse

We had the best time at this perfect guesthouse. Right on the ocean (it rained a lot!) and had everything we needed. The only thing I would change would be staying for longer! Quick responses and very friendly managers! I also loved the book of info! Thank you!

The perfect Hawaiian oasis near Hilo

Loved our 5 day stay at the Oceanfront “Treehouse” at Hakalau cliffs, an excellent Hawaiian retreat with the sound of the surf and wind in the palm trees. A great location directly overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I got up early every morning to watch the sun rise and was rewarded to watch several baby whales swimming in front of the property. The house was clean and comfortable. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. They quickly responded to our needs.

Wow! What a View! What a House!

When we drove through the gates of this estate, we were gobsmacked; the grounds were plush and immaculate. When we opened the door to the house we were greeted by that MOST STUNNING eastern view of the Pacific Ocean. The house was perfectly supplied and we enjoyed the treats the owners left for us. They thoughtfully had a bound book available introducing themselves and our host, along with suggestions of restaurants and activities to do around the area and near Hilo.We enjoyed the many colorful birds, watched the wild boar family with a baby in the fenced adjacent property, and mused at the bright green chameleons playing peekaboo on the deck. Our stay was the perfect Hawaiian experience. We are tremendously thankful - you helped make our anniversary trip a very memorable one! Mahalo!
