Luxuriously Appointed Bali Temple Has 160 Degree Ocean Views!

Located right at the Pacific Ocean ~ Bali Temple offers 160-degree Ocean Views and a wonderfully relaxing and peaceful Hawaii experience that will leave you fully rejuvenated.
Bali Temple is truly a unique and special place to spend your time in Hawaii, and is known for its dramatic setting, beautiful architecture, and luxuriously well-appointed amenities.

Bali Temple is located adjacent to the 1993 lava flow which has created 160 degrees of glorious, expansive Pacific Ocean and whitewater views for your enjoyment. There is a private black sand beach a few hundred yards away to enjoy year-round sunrises and sunsets and watch the humpback whales breaching during the winter months.
Bali Temple enjoys a fully equipped modern kitchen, double vanity sinks, 6’ spa bathtub, granite, gorgeous Mahogany wood trim accents, expansive picture windows looking out to the ocean, large mirrors, a covered lanai, Tempur-Pedic mattresses, 100% cotton bedding, and thick bath towels.

Bali Temple is located on the top floor of a 2-story house and is fully contained with its own entrance, stairway, and amenities. It is 100% private. Ocean Temple, VRBO # 1247897, is located on the main floor of the house and is fully contained with its own entrance. Cottage at the Ocean, VRBO# 654541 is located in the separate cottage next door. There is a laundry room off of the house with its own entrance that all guests have access to. Contact me to learn about special rates when renting more than one of these properties at the same time.

All units are ideal for 2 people. We offer a sanctuary setting, where guests come to retreat from the hustle and bustle of their worlds, to deeply relax, recharge, and renew themselves amidst the beautiful natural setting that surrounds us. All guests are asked to maintain this sacred container when on the property.

When my visitors depart Bali Temple, they feel refreshed, invigorated, and much more vibrant than when they arrived. The air along our coastline has been measured to be the cleanest in the United States! The lush greenery and scenic coastline areas are inspiring.

There are many spectacular sites to visit during your stay: visit Kehena Beach, a gorgeous black sand beach where you may be lucky to swim and snorkel with wild spinner dolphins, and your (non) clothing is optional. Check out the numerous Volcano Touring activities such as: Volcano National Park, Lava Tree State Park, and Lava Hikes.

Experience an abundance of shopping for the true tastes of Hawaii with its abundant selections of fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, flowers, and unique gift items at either Maku'u Market in Pahoa (Sunday morning), the Kaimu Market (Saturday morning, and ½ mile away from Bali Temple!) complete with authentic Hawaiian music and locally made crafts and treasures, and the Hilo Farmer's Market (7 days a week).

Acquaint yourself with the Island flora with a tour at the Botanical Gardens, sightsee and explore numerous waterfalls, Whale Watch from the lanai, indulge yourself with fine Dining, and dance it all off at Ecstatic Dance on Sundays at Kalani, and then the Drum Circle on Sunday afternoon at Kehena Beach. There are numerous Yoga Classes, Pilates Classes, and massage therapists ready to treat you!

Dining options from Bali Temple are numerous: Right in the neighborhood is an authentic Ava Bar, serving up the local and relaxing Kava beverage, with the Kalapana Village Café right next door, open til 9pm. Kalani Honua is 4 miles down the Red Road for delicious meals too. 9 miles up the road is Pahoa Town, with numerous options in Italian, Thai, Sushi, Mexican, Kaleo’s Bar and Grill, coffee shops, etc. Hilo is 30 miles for many more choices.

If you are seeking a retreat from the rest of the world, amidst luxurious accommodations, and a perfect springboard location to the rest of the island's activities, in an Old-World Hawaii setting only Lower Puna can offer, then Bali Temple is perfect for you.

I look forward to your visit at Bali Temple…see you soon!

It was a great property to stay on. The house was perfect and loved the vibes and artwork. The only downside/complaint is the downstairs guests slamming their doors all night and early morning.

The place is as described and pictured, full of amazing vintage furniture. We settled in comfortably after a little difficulty finding the place in the dark: the sign was higher than headlight range and the street has at least 5 houses. We were pleased that all of Rachel's guests were considerate people while that was not true of one resident house and one guest house on the street.We cannot recommend this place highly enough: truly unique. Rachel helped us a few times, communicating promptly.

My 3rd time staying at this property. If you want a quiet, beautiful, serene visit to the Big Island, this is the place to stay. Literally at the end of the road next to Kalapana. Much more relaxing than staying at the big resorts. I'll certainly be back for a 4th visit....Mahalo!!

Amazing location, luxurious home away from home. Rachaelle is a wonderful host, helpful, generous, welcoming, she was a catalyst for our stay to become a true journey. I would not hesitate to return to this rental. Truly amazing genius loci

We spent four nights at Bali Temple and we both determined this was a special place. The unit is fully stocked with everything you need. It is clean, and serene. The location is right by the ocean and the lava fields, and the full moon shone down in the evenings. It is near beaches and markets and is a fun area to explore. Our host was helpful and responsive. We would stay again in a heartbeat if we return to this part of Hawaii.

We couldn't have asked for a better getaway. Bali Temple was exactly as advertised. A complete sanctuary away from all of the hustle and bustle of daily life. We were looking for an escape and that's exactly what we found. Rachaelle was an incredible host. We highly recommend and will definitely be back!

A beautiful and immaculate upstairs residence surrounded by lush flowering trees and overlooking a spectacular lava flow running out into the ocean. The Hostess spared no expense or effort in remodeling this peaceful home, and her love for the Big Island and its culture shows. Everything at the Bali Temple was as advertised or better, from the soothing decor to the amenities like folding beach chairs, fully functional kitchen with microwave and gas stove, quality bath and beach towels, two coolers, board games and puzzles, and thoughtful details I can't even remember right now. Hint: check inside all the drawers!We visited in February and only really needed the air conditioning at night, and didn't see one bug inside the house. Definitely bring close-toed shoes for walking out onto the lava, and don't forget a flashlight or two: there's nothing like stargazing from the lava at night, but it's very dark at the Bali Temple! Sunrise was the best time to spot whales, and there were plenty to see.The WIFI works well, although we had no trouble with our Verizon cellular service.The Hostess was friendly and responsive to our questions and sent a complete package including a welcome letter several weeks in advance.Overall, an excellent and relaxing stay. We'll definitely return again!

The location and property were gorgeous. The views were once in a lifetime, but the directions were vague and the surrounding area is NOT a tourist location. Do not book this VRBO without doing a little research on the climate reguarding tourists on the big island, but over all a beautiful landscape.

The flat was very comfortable and well appointed. There are more close neighbors than the photos would lead you to believe, but the lava field between the house and the ocean is truly amazing and like nothing else we had ever seen.

Our family stayed at this amazing place for 2 days Aug. 31-Sept 2. We enjoyed a fire on the lava at night, running to the lava leasing to the beach near Robert’s market, swimming at the black sand beach, visiting fissure 8 and any 2018 lava eruption destruction, watching the best sunrise over the Pacific Ocean, the sunsets and sipping our coffee on the lanai. This is a place we would definitely stay at again. The host is knowledgeable and super friendly. Thank you!

Spent four nights here recently. My first VRBO booking, let’s just say everything you see and read in the posting are anccurate and exceeded my expectations. YES! That is the view in the pics. Here are some details: View: Amazing, even in the rain Bali House: just like it says, a zen and well done decor with an inviting layout. Location: quiet, peaceful, off the beaten path. THIS IS NOT THE LOUD OBNOXIOUS PACKED WITH PEOPLE RESORT AREA. This area is to leave that behind. Accommodations: could not think of anything that wasn’t there or available to us. Directions and instructions: not one issue, just read them. Host: R was great! Thank you so much! Bottom line: we will be back!!! Note: I read most of the reviews prior to booking. The “one star” post was a douche bag for sure. Let the shower water warm up, it will be fine. MJ

Balcony overlooking the ocean! Lava to walk on outside the back door! Beautiful artwork inside and amenities galore. Such a comfy master bed - posturepedic. Wished the other bed options were better: thin mattress on lanai bed, thick foam and hard option, or squishy couch not a pull out. Teen slept fine on lanai bed but older side sleepers might not. Loved the squishy sofa - so cozy for chatting with my love face to face. Views are awesome! Birds were chirpy so ear plugs helped and windows quality that blocked sound some. The night sky stars were incredible! The use of binoculars were much appreciated to soak in the incredible views. There is a circle window that lets you wake up to a view. Would stay there again for sure! A must stay! We can’t wait to return. Mahalo for such an incredible experience!
