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.

Please note: Access and use of the property and facilities is limited to registered guests only. We are also 100% smoke free.

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 Keurig K-cup coffee maker and electric kettle; 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.

"This was our first time at the Horizon Guest House, and the experience was uniformly great. The property is stunning, with amazing views. The rooms are spotless and very comfortable. But what makes it stand above other places we've stayed are the hosts, Clem and Angus (and their adorable and very affectionate pups Cleo and Ele). It's very clear Clem and Angus want to provide their guests with the best stay possible, from attentiveness to amenities in the room to the uniformly delicious breakfasts they offer, to providing bbq, fridge/freezer space, and even use of a laundry if needed. The common areas are a delight, and the pool and spa wonderful. We've stayed at other B&B's in the Islands, and Horizon is definitely the best B&B experience we've had in Hawaii. Very, very recommended."

"We absolutely love the Horizon Guest House! From the breathtaking views to the thoughtful amenities and the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere, everything about this place makes it special. The hosts are incredibly gracious, welcoming, and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. It’s the kind of place that makes your trip even more memorable and leaves you wishing you could stay longer. If you’re looking for a truly special place to stay in Kona, look no further. We can’t recommend the Horizon Guest House highly enough, and we can’t wait to return!"

"We just returned from a 6-night stay at the Horizon Guest House on Big Island. I initially found them by googling "donkeys" and "Hawaii", as they have two on their property, and while a personal highlight for myself, everything else Clem and Angus provided would make me return in a heartbeat. The rooms were clean and comfortable, even with being there during the hottest month of the year... Clem prepared an amazing breakfast spread each morning; a few of my favorites were the island fruit, local sausages, Portuguese sweet bread french toast, and the banana pancakes. We had a great time connecting with the other guests staying while we were there, and since we were all dog owners, also had a blast hanging out daily with Cleo and Ele as surrogate pups. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax or have as a home base on Big Island, I really hope you'll consider staying here with them."
