I wish we could have spent more time there, but we had to leave for Maunakea. The baby goats touched my soul. They were so well behaved, so cute and so loving. Most of them were so gentle taking each feed by hand. No biting or nipping. There were a few very small timid gentle ones. These especially stole my heart. I highly recommend this for everyone , and if you visit you should really support their cause.

Such a great stop on our Big Island trip, Honomu Goat Dairy is a hidden gem! The gal working there…read morewas super kind and welcoming, and she let us sample all the different goat cheese flavors. You can tell she really cares about the farm and the animals just good vibes all around. We ended up grabbing the Original and Big Island Spice goat cheeses... both were creamy, not too pungent, and so ono, especially with the $1 crackers they sell on the side (definitely worth it). Perfect little snack while enjoying the view. Also picked up some of their goat milk chapstick which was such a cute little find and super moisturizing (& only $4) If you're driving through Honomu or heading to Akaka Falls, this place is totally worth the quick stop. Support local, eat cheese, and enjoy the aloha!

It's a family operated Inn located in the quant little town of Honomu. The set up was very neat and convenient, if the owners are not around, they leave out things which allow you to check yourself in and out. They have an open kitchen area with lots of free breakfast choices. The bedrooms were very clean and comfortable. There is a strip that has a few shops, an ice cream parlor and a coffee shop and it's about 3 miles from Akaka Falls. A lot of the shops close early and there are not very many food options in the immediate area, however Downtown Hilo is only about 20 minutes away and there are a lot of choices there! I would definitely recommend the Honomu Inn!

So Ono! After an…read moreamazing morning exploring the waterfalls near Akaka Falls, we stumbled upon this hidden gem of a country market and café -- and wow, are we glad we did! The menu might be small, but it packs serious flavor. The Ono sandwich was, well, *ono*! Perfectly cooked protein, fresh veggies, and a tangy sauce that brought it all together -- simple, fresh, and unforgettable. And don't even get me started on the Kalua pork tacos -- tender, smoky, and paired with just the right amount fresh tomatoes. The setting was relaxed and rustic, with just the right amount of charm. We grabbed a shaded table outside and enjoyed our food while soaking in the peaceful surroundings. It felt like we'd discovered a local secret. If you're in the area sightseeing or taking in waterfalls, do yourself a favor and stop by. Great food, and a perfect slice of island life. This place is a true treasure!

Mr. Ed himself helped my husband and I decide on many pastries to try and none of them disappointed! I only snapped a photo of one, as the others we'd eaten before I even thought to take photos. They were too good to wait! While getting our pastries, Mr. Ed was also kind enough to share some of his story and it was wonderful to hear directly from the shop owner why he is there and his love for the island and the town. The shop is cozy and feels family ran so it was just a lovely stop on the big island for not only delicious baked treats, but wonderful company as well.

The prices were kinda pricey but competitive, they gotta make $ so you're paying for convenience after visiting the falls and wanting a fresh refreshment. $10 coconuts, that they open up after drinking so you can eat the meat. $8 for a bag of sugarcane but it had lime in it, which we didn't really care for. $8 bag of cut up pineapple, which was our favorite, nice and sweet and cold There was a nice sit down area to eat at multiple picnic areas and a spot to take silly photos. Parking was limited but there wasn't too much people there so we got a parking spot after someone left. I'd give it a 5-star review but I think they could've gave a small discount for buying more or if you're kama'aina..

There is a fully equipped kitchen inside the house so bring your provisions and enjoy home cooked meals. There is a farmers market in nearby Hilo for stocking up. The "included breakfast" is actually a voucher for a nearby bakery that makes delicious pastries and coffee. A perfect stop before heading up to Akaka Falls. You will experience everything the rainforest is known for, sudden downpours, humidity, bugs, and amazing night sounds. Fortunately, the mosquitoes didn't bother us because we had a half a dozen geckos patrolling our room. The aromas of flowers and foliage waft into your room on the ever present tropical breeze that comes up from the ocean. No man made A/C here, just nature. The semi-outdoor bathroom makes this a Hawaiian Fitzcarraldo adventure destination. Don't worry there is a second shared indoor bathroom for the city folk. I've stayed in plenty of European hostels when I was younger and this sort of reminds me of a grown up version. I've never booked an airbnb property before so I'm assuming most guests are stupid. There seems to be a sign on every wall reminding you of various house rules. I'm hotel people so I found that odd. I'm glad we found this place and had the chance to spend a couple of nights closer to nature.
