Hawaii
Honeymoon Cartoon Cottage
A Bed Breakfast Adventure in Eco-Tourism
On The Big Island
Explore the wonders Hawaii from the comfort of this whimsical bed & breakfast...
Quote from Best Places to Stay in Hawaii "This is one of the more unusual places to stay I have ever seen...If you want a bit of mystery and imagination in your vacation, and little stories lying in wait around every corner, you'll appreciate it here. It's enchanting, rather like you'd expect a hobbit's house to be."
Adventures begin at the storybook "Cartoon cottage" Bed & Breakfast, located in private seclusion on the lush, tropical Mauna Loa mountainside on the Big Island's south side. The whimsical architecture is a "gingerbread" design with hand-hewn beams and stained glass windows framed in native wood. It is remotely located a half mile up a paved trail away from the noise of the main highway.
Sweeping views of orchard and ranch land down to the blue pacific shoreline greet the visitor to this Waiohinu village hideaway. Waiohinu is historically rich as it was the first area to be inhabited by the arriving Polynesians who chose the area for it's lush vegetation and fresh water springs, still the best on the island today. Mark Twain stayed in this very area for a week and planted a monkey pod tree before heading off to the volcano, 30 miles by mule.
Watch humpback whales, dolphins, and endangered sea turtles from the palm studded black sand beaches of Punalu'u. Hike early morning the nature trails of Manuka Refuge seeking elusive glimpses of Hawaii's rare forest songbirds. Carry a picnic lunch to the steep olivine-specked dunes of Hawaii's famous Green Sand Beach. See fisherman hauling catches up the 40'-cliffs or casting throw nets into the swirling surf backwaters. Spend the day in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Kayak, snorkel, golf, or just wander the sleepy villages amidst the monkeypod trees so loved by Mark Twain.
Then return to your private "Hobbit House" B&B for a quiet bath while the soft light of day fades from the valleys below.
"honeymoon cottage" B&B is off the beaten path, powered by wind and solar energy.
A perfect bed & breakfast for a Honeymoon,
Anniversary or Birthday!
Four rooms are privately yours. Your quiet haven includes a full kitchen, antique queen bedroom, luxurious bathroom and a spacious living room with southern panoramic coastal views.
