Maureens Bed And Breakfast, Hilo

Welcome to Maureen's Bed and Breakfast, your vacation PARADISE located just steps from the beach and minutes from Hilo's finest downtown attractions!

The charming Saiki mansion reflects an informal meeting of East and West. The comfortable living room, with vaulted ceiling, arched windows and redwood paneling is relaxed and casual. Our formal Japanese tea room overlooks peaceful koi ponds and a landscaped botanical garden. Mauna Kea (often snow capped) dominates the distant view.

The sounds of the nearby surf beckon you to the beach, and our clean, comfortable accomodations create a warm, relaxing, tropical home!

Come visit! Return to "Old Hawaii." Enjoy our warm aloha and our generous breakfasts that always include tropical island fruits!

Known to locals as the Saiki Mansion (built in 1932 and named after its original owner) our fully restored home has a baronial ambiance that befits an "aloha" experience. A rich blend of redwood and cedar line the 30-foot vaulted living room ceiling, walls, double staircases and wraparound balcony. The Japanese Tea Room is elegant in cherry wood. Antique furnishings made of koa (a precious wood native to Hawaii) as well as mahogany and oak, add to the luxury of silk paintings and tapestries. You can enjoy TV in the family room or the stereo in the great room.The koi ponds or botanical gardens with fragrant flowers and colorful plants can be enjoyed from our front or rear lanais. And across the street, a beach park offers swimming and snorkeling.

Our guest bedrooms have semiprivate baths. Two very large upstairs rooms have king size beds and boast mountain views of Mauna Kea. Two adjoining single rooms are just off the balcony. Our downstairs rooms are bright and cheery, and offer the relaxing sounds of ocean surf.
