We loved this B&B. It felt like home and the breakfast was delicious. John and Petra are so nice. We loved the personalized map and guide instructions from John. We did every activity he recommended and felt much better with his specific details at hand. Thanks for a great stay! More

I stayed in the downstairs studio, a lovely room. Everything was wonderful for me: comfortable accommodations, great breakfasts, tasteful furnishings, beautiful landscaping, and helpful advice. Relaxing visit to get away from the stateside drama in my life, with time to explore the area! More

We are a military family and we needed a time of bonding and rejuvenation after two deployments. We were not disappointed. In fact, we were taken aback by the overwhelming beauty of the surroundings at Makamae B and B.

Breakfast excellent fresh fruit good variety from cereal to hot dishes. Very friendly explained local attractions from hiking, swimming, snorkeling, road trips,etc. They provided excellent maps to keep for your stay Can't wait to get back there. Stayed in the Lanai Suite. More

It was very clean, modern in appearance and well appointed, and... More

The breakfast is aboundend and delicious (we overate in the homemade banana pancakes) and the room was spotless (this is most definitly due to the German sense... More

My wife and I stayed at Garden Suite for 3 nights from 7Mar. It was the 1st time for us to visit B&B itself, so we were a little bit nervous. However, our worry was meaningless! The garden was beautiful and the room was so big & clean. In addition, Petra kindly guided many places to go. We enjoyed Pahoa... More

I'll break this review up into the pros and cons. First, the pros: Petra was very nice and accommodating. We never felt rushed and she provided us with a plethora of good advice and recommendations. She also let us borrow a really good map of the area and snorkeling gear which made our stay much more pleasant. Her gardens are... More
