Boasting pool with a view and views of mountain, Halekulani Devon Homestay is a recently renovated homestay situated in Torquay, 1.5 km from Maidencombe Beach. Featuring full-day security, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station.

The Haleklani retreat is set high up amidst beautiful green countryside with panoramic views from all the windows overlooking the sea. I loved looking at the boats out on the water. I saw an owl swooping by one early morning. The lawns Leading down from the terrace were immaculately cared for as was the entire house. The house is very spacious and beautifully decorated with original art and sculptures and big healthy tropical plants. The house was warm and immaculately clean and beautifully organised . I loved the freestanding white bath in the spacious new bathroom also overlooking the sea. There were quality soaps and shampoo and conditioner, thick cotton towels. Every comfort was thoughtfully provided. The bedroom had a fresh coffee maker and kettle and a range of teas. Anne provided filtered fresh water and milk which was kept fresh in the mini fridge. The bed was deeply comfortable with plush pillows. The house had a hush and peaceful ambiance with soothing background music and lighting. The breakfast was abundant and beautifully cooked and good quality with attention to details with sprigs of parsley on the butter. It was lovely to sit and feast overlooking the sloping lawn and big sky and sea. I loved relaxing in the lounge area and worked happily for hours on my websites with Anne offering me cups of tea and coffee. I was warm and snug on the winters days that I stayed and it was glorious when the sun shone in. If you’re wanting peace and harmony and comfort- this is the place to stay.

Utterly blown away by the attention to detail and lengths gone within the rooms to dater for guests every need. Refreshing to see no expense spared for the sake of comfort. Such an overwhelmingly positive and friendly experience that should I ever return to Torquay then there'd no doubt as to where I'd stay. Bravo from a former hotelier.

I like Amy the host who was so kind and accommodating to all my needs. There were options for vegan breakfast, fresh berries, soy milk, beans on toast. The location was great, room spacious and Amy kindly placed books i ordered to a hotel address in my room before my arrival. She provided with me an umbrella. She was the most charming host one could imagine. I forgot a sweater and she sent it to me to Norway afterwards. This was the most pleasant stay I have ever had with such personal touch.

    Amazing homestay tucked away in Devon. Anne is a very nice host and treated us to a full English breakfast complete with vegetarian sausage (as we are veg), fried eggs and fresh squeezed orange juice. She even fixed us a quick sandwich dinner on the first night when we arrived late and all the local places were already closed. Great views of the surrounding hillside and the sea from the room and the dining area. Bathroom is huge and has a soaking tub. Overall great experience!

Lovely, well furnished apartment, Dickens, living room-diner and separate bedroom leading to ensuite shower room. Apartment was very clean and contained everything we needed including a nightlight in the shower room, great addition. Ideal location for travelling the area but within easy walking distance to Torquay centre or about 40 minute walk to nearby Paignton.
