We stayed at Honu Kai B&B during Thanksgiving week 2009. It had been about eighteen months since our last visit and now all four rooms are finished. This time we stayed in the Mala Hale Bungalow that features a kitchenette, living room, separate bathroom, bedroom and private lanai patio area. This room like the others was beautifully decorated, and if... more

The hosts are 40 somethings Dave ex-Canuck and Wendi an Aussie firecracker that have been there 4 years they are practically native to the Big Island. AND they completely share this island experience with you. They are the consummate hosts no doubt. Just by divine accident Dave will make the best omelette and burrito you ever consumed. And I don't... more

We cannot express fully our gratitude for the magical week that Dave and Wendi so generously provided. I have visited Kauai, Maui, and Oahu in the past but I believe that our trip in November to the Big Island showed the greatest promise as a visitor to Hawaii!!! The Big Island is as majestic as they come and we enjoyed... more

Honu Kai B&B was simply awesome and outstanding. Dave and Wendi were truly the best host and hostess you could ask for. They were so helpful and friendly and went above and beyond all my expectations. My husband and I have stayed at many B&B's and have never experienced anything close to Honu Kai as far as the accommodations, food,... more

Whilst my fiance and I were only there for a brief stay, we were overwhelmingly impressed about the service and quality of stay. We were there during the Kona Coffee Festival, and Wendi (host) provided us secret hints, tips and vantage spots to watch the street parade, as well as a list of recommended waterholes for top notch food and... more

My husband and I had never been to Hawaii and decided to stay on the Big Island. After searching frantically for a place to stay (we were staying during the time of the Iron Man Marathon) I stumbled across reviews that raved about this place. I called to make my reservation, but unfortunately they only had a few nights available... more

I have never written a review on TripAdvisor ... but our stay with Wendi and Kona Dave at the Honu Kai B&B was so exceptional, I just had to let you know that you really can believe what these other reviewers have already stated: WOW!

We planned this trip at the last minute, but we ended up with the best B&B we could hope for ever. We'd go back since three days only scratched the surface of what there is to see near Kona. Wendy and Dave made our stay perfect, lots of advice on what to do, where to go, how long it takes... more
