About this property

Hawaii Yurts Luxury for Less

ALOHA,

We at Hawaiian Journeys offer unique and affordable vacation experiences, by using alternative structures known as Yurts.

Our Yurt, located on the big island of Hawaii, allows for more space and a vacation experience you'll want to share with others. The Yurt is fully furnished with queen bed, refrigerator, microwaves and more. It's like camping with all the comforts of home.

Welcome to Hawaiianjourneys. We invite you to join our Ohana for a vacation designed to be one you will remember for many years to come. Our accommodations are spacious, comfortable, unique and private. Invented over a 1000 years ago, a yurt is a comfortable, cozy building with great functionality.

We have modernized it, to include one bedroom, modern amenities and gorgeous views among cool and relaxing breezes. We are an eco friendly Inn. We recycle our gray water for plants and pineapples. Because of our location you will see more of Hawaii then if you stayed in Kona and you will sleep better. After all There is MORE to Hawaii then beaches and bars... and isn't a vacation supposed to be relaxing. Stay with us once, and I guarantee you will be back again. We have other one and two bedroom yurts available, please contact us for rates and details. To see pictures or our other yurts, go to our website.

Aloha from Lisa and Kai & the Ohana of Hawaiianjourneys

Amazing time!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our week here. It is away from the high tourist area and completely relaxing. Equipped with everything you need. Owners were super great and helpful. Makes visiting Hilo and Kona doable. Pretty much in the middle making easy to go up either coast. Absolutely want to stay here again!

Yurt Adventure

Great stay. We began with a farm stay at Hamakua - then smaller resort at Punulu’u and our last two nights at this luxury Yurt. It was well appointed / better than most - and very comfortable. It is definitely clamping and not “resorting” but that added to our Big Island adventure. Our hosts were amazing and communication fast and efficient. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Nice simple place to stau

Everything was clean and the host is very nice. They did give away my yurt that slept 4 and put me in one that slept 2. Considering I had 3 in my party, it was a bit inconvenient. But the host helped us with a blow up mattress.

Staying in a Yurt is a MUST!!!!

This was my very 1st time staying in a Yurt, and if I could stay in one every time I travel, I would. It's a little bit of a drive to reach this area, but the views are well worth it! I arrived late in the evening, and the property manager was quick to let me in, explain the ins and outs of the Yurt, and offer me suggestions of things to do during my stay. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, communication with the owners and property manager was fantastic, and I look forward to going back again and getting the chance to spend a longer amount of time. Mahalo to Lisa, Al, and Kai for their hospitality!
