This is a property that you have to see to believe... the main house is amazing and full of history and great ambiance...The Inn Keeper Mary Ellen is trying to do it all herself.. which is impossible... The rooms were not dirty but just not dusted... our room was large and comfortable... the grounds are a part of the old... More

I have stayed at the Jacaranda Inn many times during the last three years. Always a special place for me because of the quiet, classy, distinctly upscale bedrooms which used to house the paniolos of the Parker Ranch. No roughing it necessary for this tired cowgirl. No other housing on the Big Island has beautiful Kohler jacuzzi tubs or well... More

Beautifully spacious rooms. Very comfortable and well furbished. Unfortunately it was only for 1 night but, we tried to make it last as long as possible. We rented 7 rooms there. It was so beautiful we ended up going to every room and taking pictures there. The bathrooms are HUGE! Most of ours had a Jaccuzzi tub and spacious shower.... More

It's been a couple of years since my last visit. I opted to stay at Jacaranda Inn for 3 nights instead of the big resorts with screaming kids.

The pictures posted on this site and on the Jacaranda's site are from several years ago when the place was under different ownership. The entire property is now run down. Our room had a lot of bugs in it (underneath the sink cabinet were large piles of roach feces - i killed several large spiders as well), the toilet was... More

"The Jacaranda Inn-Big Island of Hawaii Bed and Breakfast at Parker Ranch" is how the website described this B & B. After registering, we asked what time breakfast was served and were told, "There is no food here, you can get breakfast down the street, there's lots of restaurants." We had been spoiled by the other B and B's we... More

Jacaranda Inn is located in a historic estate. Our Passion Flower room has been romantically decorated with HUGE bathrooms. We had a great time in the jacuzzi bathtub. The innkeeper Mary Ellen runs the place almost by herself, but always had time to talk. Location of the inn is with in walking distance of central Waimea and we walked averywhere.... More
