Aloha and welcome to Horizon Guest House

Luxury B&B accommodation on the Big Island of Hawaii

Horizon Guest House is an elegant, luxury bed and breakfast set amongst 40 acres of sloping pasture lands on the side of Mauna Loa. Located on the magnificent Kona Coast, our B&B is less than an hour’s drive south of the Kailua-Kona airport (KOA). We are surrounded by the historic McCandless Ranch, ensuring your stay is enjoyed in privacy and tranquility.

Experience the Kona Coast

Escape the bustle of Kailua-Kona and enjoy the quiet, natural beauty of the coast. Situated at an 1,100 ft. elevation, our BnB offers uninterrupted panoramic views from all four suites. Relax beside our custom designed infinity swimming pool with built in Jacuzzi hot tub (clothing-optional). Unwind and relax with our buffet breakfast, enjoy easy access to local restaurants, or even make use of our outdoor barbecue facilities and grill out under the stars.

Location

The Kona Coast

Horizon Guest House is located close to Kealakekua Bay, where you’ll find Captain Cook’s monument, and also Pu`uhonua O’Honaunau, also known as ‘Place of Refuge’. Both of these locations attract people from all over the world to dive and snorkel due to the amazing variety of tropical fish, and the outstanding array of coral. Enjoy these activities with a chartered tour, or dive in yourself.

Big Island attractions

At Pu`uhonua O’Honaunau you’ll find an entry point into the water known locally as ‘Two Steps’. This is the perfect place for the novice diver, or snorkeler, to experience the undersea beauty in a safe, easily accessible location.  Situated only minutes from our resort, you’ll be swimming with schools of yellow tangs in no time. Our bed and breakfast is the perfect place to base yourself while exploring the Big Island’s attractions. Whether it’s snorkeling or diving, taking a trip to the volcano or to Mauna Kea, make Horizon Guest House the jumping off point for your Big Island adventure.

Our suites

Private luxury suites

We offer much more than the average hotel or vacation rental. There are four private luxury suites to choose from. Each has its own bathroom and lanai (Hawaiian for patio). The suites are arranged in a staggered wing, and all have their own private entry and private lanai. All suites have stunning coastline views to the west, perfect for gazing on the sublime Big Island sunsets. Three suites have king beds and the fourth, the honeymoon suite, has a queen bed. Each suite can only accommodate a maximum of 2 guests. Horizon Guest House is not designed for the safety and enjoyment of children under the age of 14 or for pets.

In-room facilities

Each suite has a refrigerator to store those late night snacks and keep chilled any items you find on your Big Island travels; a coffee press and electric kettle for tea and coffee; and a ceiling fan – although there is usually a cool, evening breeze that comes down off the mountain from the upper slopes of Mauna Loa.

About our breakfast

Buffet breakfast

Enjoy our generous buffet-style breakfast in the dining room, main lanai, pool-side, or even on your own private lanai. Our breakfasts change daily and always include fresh fruit grown here on the property. Choose from mangoes, oranges, papaya, dragon fruit, pineapple and more! Wherever you chose to have breakfast, all have magnificent Kona coastline views.

More than breakfast

Help yourself to picnic coolers and ice to take with you on your adventures around the island. Enjoy the local restaurants, or use the outdoor gas barbecue grill to prepare your own dining adventure.

"The Horizon Guest House is truly a gem; an increasingly rare true bed and breakfast. Clem and Angus have carefully thought about every detail and provide many amenities including parking, access to laundry machines, snorkeling gear, beach chairs and towels, communal larger refrigerator with an ice machine, and more. They are seasoned hosts and talented cooks/bakers. They provided us with helpful information on restaurant suggestions, day trips, snorkeling spots, and more that made us feel like locals... We had such a comfortable stay and felt welcomed and relaxed the moment we arrived.”

"If you’re lucky enough to have found Horizon Guest House, then book it! We spent 3 weeks on the Big Island at some very very nice places and this is the place we are planning to return to because of: the stunning views from the house, your private patio, the infinity pool; the hospitality of your hosts Clem and Angus - friendly, welcoming, available if/as needed; the delicious breakfasts; the small size so no more than 8 guests and opportunities to eat alone or on your own patio if you prefer; did I mention the infinity pool and the hot tub..."
