Enjoy an intimate setting with personal touches; your bed made up with 100% Egyptian cotton sheets, spa robes and slippers, crystal glassware in a well-appointed kitchenette that offers a champagne bucket should you desire. Experience a stroll under towering Hapu’u Tree Ferns, relaxing on the balcony overlooking your koi pond as well as a floral landscape that is in bloom year round.

We stayed here last year for a few days and liked it so much we booked for a week this year. Very comfortable to return to in the evenings. We could fix our breakfast or could heat up something simple in the eveningif we wanted to. This is a small cottage in a beautiful garden. The little peepers were loud at night but We like that. There are earplugs if you don’t like it. Jean was very welcoming and pleasant to talk to. Would definitely stay here again

    We stayed in a private cabin on the farm that felt like a little oasis. There is no TV or distractions, you can hear the river and birds. The bathroom and common space were just steps away, and it was nice hanging out with other travelers and the employees. The semi outdoor shower was awesome! Connecting with nature and other folks who like to relax and enjoy their surroundings was so great! The waterfall and river were stunning, and walking through the bamboo garden was seriously a sight to see as well. We will be back!

    Excellent communication from the management. The door code was texted to me prior to our arrival. It’s located minutes from Hilo harbor, in a safe suburban neighborhood. Our cottage had a large bathroom & shower, a small table & 2 chairs, kitchen (though we didn’t cook), an outside deck, a queen bed & 2 twin beds. We enjoyed the large space.

    We were pleasantly surprised how comfortable and cozy the house was. Dianna was a great host and surprised us and made a delicious banana oatmeal breakfast for 2 of our 4 night stay. We enjoyed very much the conversations with Dianna and many of the other houseguests in our shared space. It was a great experience!
