Located next door to the Royal Kona Resort, these absolute oceanfront condos offer a lanai (balcony) that almost hangs over the ocean.
Kona Mansions
Kona Mansions, situated approximately 5 minutes out of the main hub of Kailua-Kona, is in an ideal location close to shops and great restaurants. Kona Mansions’ condos are both comfortable, spacious and are situated close to the ocean.
The Kona Mansions is 800m from race start.
Sea Village
The Sea Village is an ocean front condo complex situated 2km from the race start, with an ocean front pool, spa and BBQ area. The complex has a choice of one and two bedroom fully self contained apartments and is ideal for families.
Event Location
The west coast of Hawaii is known as the “Kona Side” and Kailua-Kona is the lively centre of it all. This historic seaside town sits in the middle of the Kona coast.
Getting there
All visitors to Kona arrive via Hawaiian inter-island flights. The Kona Airport is about 30 minutes from the township of Kona, and Tri Travel provide transfers for all of our tour members who are booked not he 10-night arrival and departure dates.
Visa
Australian visitors to the United States, for business or tourism, staying 90 days or less, do not need to obtain a visa. However an online travel authorisation needs to be obtained through ESTA, which is a quick, free internet application with authorisation received within a few minutes.
Location Highlights
Now, because of its central location and tropical weather it has transformed into a lively town that is the activity capital of the Big Island. It is the city on the Big Island that is best equipped for tourism, but still retains the ‘old Hawaii’ feel with none of the high rises or large shopping centres the Waikiki has.
There are many shops and markets selling locally produced items and there is a good offering of restaurants. Relax and look at the waves crashing over the black lava rocks while sipping from a cup of the world-famous Kona coffee, or have some freshly caught ahi (tuna) at one of the seaside restaurants.
