We stayed in the Begonia #4 room and was pleasantly surprised with its vast living quarters and spacious bathroom with Jacuzzi tub and walk in shower. We could have spent our entire three days coddled in this comfort. Entering the grand lobby we were greeted with antiques and accompaniments that spoke of grander times when perhaps bustling travelers from afar... more

This was my first time staying in Kamuela on the Big Island and it could not have been better. Making the reservation with just one phone call, was a snap. Our spacious room was extraordinary with an eye to detail. The gracious host, Mary Ellen, took time out of her busy schedule and gave us a brief tour of the... more

Aloha from the wireless connection in grand living room of Jacaranda Inn! As a researcher focused on the evolutionary stability of relative insularity, my travels take me to the most insular, most ecologically sound islands on earth, and thus, there a very few places left on earth which are of any research value to me! Much of my research has... more

While it is true that a small portion of the grounds has been allowed to return to nature, most of the grounds are well maintained and delightful: Particularly at this time of year when the snow melt from Mauna Kea produces a charming waterfall above the stream that borders the back of the property. The hills behind the property are... more

I have called the Jacaranda Inn several times over the last two years and have never called when someone answers the phone. Three times I've left a message stating that I had wanted to book a reservation and have never received a return phone call. I live on the island and visit bed and breakfasts often. I would of been... more

There are not too many places to stay in Kamuela (Waimea on a map)so I was glad to locate this property that was the former home of a well known foreman of the nearby Parker Ranch. The suite itself was just great; the outside of the property is a little ragged. There is no breakfast included and is not available... more

We were visiting the Big Island of Hawaii and stayed a number of locations in Kona, Waimea as well as Hilo. Most of the places were as expected for the price and time of year. The Jacaranda Inn in particular was notable for its difficult management. Perhaps it is related to the difficult economic times but the owner/manager was alternatively... more

I visited in mid-January 2008 and stayed in the White Lily Room. Fantastic room, and a fantastic inn, but it is underutilized. Couldn't help but dream about what a destination it could be with a restaurant, bar, private dining room, wedding/special events, and spa. As a place to stay, I loved it. I think we were the only ones there.... more

After booking long ahead of time, I went on to TripAdvisor a month beforehand and saw that the owner was on her way out and had misgivings, but we were within the cancellation period, so we stuck it out (otherwise we would have changed locales). Let me say first - the property is huge, awesome main house - and has... more
