Experience a tropical oasis in a small family farm in a suburban part of Hilo. We are conveniently located being 10 mins away from Downtown Hilo. Experience life on a farm as you tour our permaculture food forest consisting of a variety of tropical fruit trees, medicinal plants, and our vegetable garden. As a family farm, we strive to be as self sufficient as we can by growing our own food and medicine organically while leveraging natural resources around us where possible.
You will be renting the entire upstairs 2 bedroom unit (over 1,200 square feet of living space) of our home with separate entrance complete with a kitchen, bathroom, a large screened in lanai (porch) and a front porch to watch the beautiful sunrise on a clear morning. Our kitchen comes fully equipped with a coffee maker, full cooking range with oven, pots and pans, pantry basics (cooking oil, salt and pepper) should you choose to prepare some meals during your stay.
Bathroom is stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash & a fresh set of towels. Beach towels will also be provided for your convenience.
Our space does not have a television intentionally so you can enjoy family time and the abundance of life on the farm. Connect conveniently to our high speed cable Wifi to stream movies, check emails and to stay connected during your stay here. We are blessed with trade wind weather for most of the year and AC is not common here in this part of the island. Fans are provided in both bedrooms as well as a ceiling fan in the screened porch. On a clear evening, enjoy stargazing like you’ve never experienced before. Experience a moonlit night away from any light pollution and see the major constellations without any help from telescopes !
During your stay on our property, feel free to take nature walks around our four acre property, lounge under one of our bamboo forest to enjoy nature, pet and feed our goats and enjoy a lower pace lifestyle living on our farm.
