The verdict

Field notes

Hidden gem Usually empty Locals + tourists

A quiet, small-scale farm experience on the Big Island where you can pick up high-quality Kona coffee and a B&B stay. It's genuinely good for those who want a slow-paced, residential-feeling visit and a personal touch. If you're looking for a polished, commercial tour with clear signage and a professional tasting room, you'll be better off heading to a larger operation like Mountain Thunder.

The story

Located at 2,000 feet on the western slope of the Hualalai Volcano, in the heart of the Kona Coffee Belt, our family-run bed and breakfast invites you to experience a stay on our working 8 acre Kona coffee farm. Just 10 minutes from downtown, the best activities in Kona, and the international airport, the Mango Sunset Bed and Breakfast is the best place to stay in Kona and is an idea base for exploring the Big Island’s endless adventures.
