Kaloko Retreat Hawaiian Rainforest

Kaloko Retreat — Hawaiian Rainforest Hideaway
Nestled in the lush Hawaiian rainforest of Kailua-Kona, Kaloko Retreat offers a peaceful island hideaway surrounded by the natural beauty and energy of the Big Island. Located in the Kaloko Cloud Forest at approximately 2,200 feet above sea level, the retreat provides cool mountain air, soothing rainforest sounds, and a tranquil atmosphere—while still being less than 15 minutes from town.
This private downstairs 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests and features its own private entrance, separate driveway, and designated free parking directly outside the rental. This is a hosted property; the host occupies the completely separate upper story.
The apartment is approximately 729 square feet and offers a full kitchen and a cozy, quaint living area—a comfortable place to gather, relax, and recharge between island adventures. Please note that the living room sofa is loveseat-sized, so we recommend reviewing the space and sleeping arrangements to ensure the property is a good fit for your group. The apartment is especially well suited for travelers who plan to spend much of their stay exploring the island and want a peaceful, comfortable home base to return to. Please note that for ventilation, the bathroom door is louvered. This property is likely only suitable for groups that are close with each other. 2nd bedroom does not have windows that open to the outside, but just a louvered window shutter that opens to the living room area.
Rainforest Location & Island Adventures
The retreat is surrounded by native Hawaiian rainforest, creating a calm and restorative setting that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle while remaining conveniently close to Kailua-Kona.
Just a couple of minutes away is Mountain Thunder Coffee Farm, where guests can enjoy complimentary coffee tours and participate in a Cloud Forest Nature Hike. Nearby, you'll also find beautiful beaches, local restaurants, coffee farms, scenic drives, and countless opportunities to experience the Big Island.
Guests frequently enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature and the refreshing mountain climate. The unique rainforest setting offers a distinctive Kona experience that you won't find at a conventional hotel or resort.
Private & Peaceful
Your rental has a private entrance, separate driveway, and dedicated free parking. An outdoor table with seating for four is available in the driveway area immediately outside the rental.
The property is located in a rural residential neighborhood and is accessed through a shared gated driveway. To respect the privacy of our neighbors and other guests, we kindly ask that guests do not walk along the shared portion of the driveway.
There is also a second, small rental located on the upper portion of the property. The spaces are completely separate, and we ask all guests to respect one another's privacy by enjoying only the immediate outdoor area provided with their rental. The rental does not include access to the entire property.
If you'd like to explore the surrounding area on foot or go hiking, please park on the designated side streets rather than walking through the gated shared driveway or other portions of the property.
