"ONE
OF HAWAII'S BEST KEPT SECRETS"
Hawaii
Magazine - Sept-Oct 2001
This
romantic guest house is nestled up inside a huge Chinese
Banyan tree in the picturesque and historic village of
Waiohinu on the Big Island of Hawaii. South Point
Banyan Tree House is located across from the the classic
Missionary-era Kauaha'ao Congregational Church grounds
on the corner of Pinao Street and the Mamalahoa Highway.
The
Banyan Tree House is a luxury designer studio that features a partially
transparent roof, giving an airy, open feeling as you
look up into the dense canopy of the massive Banyan tree
by day -- or enjoy the subtle lighting of its splendor
at night. The tree house is conveniently located near
Hawaii's Volcanoes National Park, the massive cliffs and
Green Sand Beach of South Point, and near Punalu'u Black
Sand Beach where snorkelers enjoy swimming among the
giant sea turtles.
The
South
Point Banyan Tree House is located in the quaint and
historic old Hawaiian village of Waiohinu (population
approx. 300), about fifteen miles north of Ka Lae (South
Point) in the Ka'u District of the Big Island. Shopping,
supplies, a post office and restaurants are available,
some within strolling distance. You'll be within easy
driving distance of the Big Island of Hawaii's finest
attractions, including:
-
Hawaii
Volcanoes National Park

Massive
Cliffs of South Point
(the southernmost point in the USA)

Comments
From the Banyan Tree House Guest Book
Thank
you so much for this beautiful tree house.
Staying here has been such a treat- so relaxing
compared to hotels. We wish we would have stayed
here for our entire Big Island stay instead of
two nights. You have put every thoughtful detail
in, from the corkscrews to the extra towels to
the fragrant fresh flowers and the fruit. This
is undoubtedly the best place we have slept!
Again, thanks so much for the hospitality.
Mahalo!
