Wainaku Camp Cottage

Enjoy this basic but remodeled sugarcane plantation-style home, 5 minutes from downtown Hilo. This is the perfect place to come with family and friends as there are 2 homes available on the property. The homes are just off the beaten path, away from tourist areas, in a local camp neighborhood. Wonderfully situated to explore downtown Hilo and the gorgeous Hamakua Coast. Please note that there are neighborhood animal (dogs and roosters) noises that we cannot control. Earplugs are provided for your comfort.

Gorgeously remodeled home! This home has two lovely bedrooms with one double bed and one queen size bed, a queen-sized sofa sleeper and one bathroom. This home is equipped with TV, wifi, and off-street parking. Other amenities include a BBQ to enjoy while relaxing after a long day of exploring the island. There is plenty of room outside to run and play. An assortment of recreation equipment (ex. soccer ball, volleyball & net, badminton, lawn games though exact equipment varies) are provided in case you need a break from sight-seeing and want to just have some fun around the house.

This home offers basic accommodations it is not a luxury rental.
For all stays, we provide the basics (toilet paper, paper towel, shampoo, conditioner) to get you started on your vacation. It is up to the guests to replenish as needed.

This is the first or front house on the property.

This home is built so that there is amble space underneath the house (an adult can easily stand up straight). This is where the washing machine is located. Space to hang dry clothing is also provided under the house as well as racks inside the home. There is no dryer.

-Trash pick-up occurs once a week. If you have more trash than what fits in the outside trash bin, please take it to the local transfer station (a couple miles away).

Welcome to Rooster Inn
One of the blankets look like someone blew their nose on the under side of it, a yellow discharge, sent pic to manager. A rat in the attic particles falling through the attic entrance onto the bathroom floor, sent pic to manager. Sleeping can be a little difficult, Kochi frogs at night and roosters start crowing at 3:00 am till Evening So I said Welcome to the Rooster Inn.
