Commune with Nature In South Kona. Gingerhill Farm Retreat is located on five acres of organic orchards and gardens nestled just above famous Kealakekua Bay. We offer serenity and escape mere minutes away from local restaurants, cafes and shops. Complete with bathroom, kitchen and outdoor shower, our Garden Cottage offers the independence of a cozy private dwelling situated just above the gardens. Relax on the deck in the evenings as you enjoy breathtaking images of the sun setting over the Pacific. Take a stroll through our gardens and then marvel at the sunset from one of various scenic decks. Hike down to Kealakekua Bay and swim with the Dolphins. Gingerhill Farm offers an exotic escape from the hustle and bustle of 21st century living. In our commitment to promoting transparency we would like to say that there is more to sustainable agriculture than whether you use chemical fertilizer or organic pellets. Here at Gingerhill Farm we heed our role as stewards of the land and commit to practices which improve the health of our acreage year after year. This means we spray no insecticides or herbicides. It also means that in Hawaii, a subtropical island, we experience intervals of mosquito or termite pressure. Resonant Coqui frogs, native to Puerto Rico sing at night and sound like crickets. We consider these players as part of our ecosystem, and strive to maintain a balance. Our grounds are beautiful and fertile, partly tamed and partly wild. We ask that guests understand these dynamics and book accordingly. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Water dispenser ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Composting - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Local artist showcase - Recycling - Solar energy - Water dispenser ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76520000/76511700/76511643/0abc5e55.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kona Ocean View Home - Downtown, Fruit Trees, Sunset views Kailua-Kona - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 161 reviews CA $278 CA $602 total includes taxes & fees Oct 7 - Oct 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-07&endDate=2025-10-08&selected=76511643&PinnedHotelID=76511643&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33970000/33969200/33969148/96f1ab54.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cottage with Amazing View, Minutes to Dolphin Swimming, Very Private, Affordable Captain Cook - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 188 reviews CA $278 CA $694 total includes taxes & fees Oct 13 - Oct 14 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=33969148&PinnedHotelID=33969148&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18840000/18839500/18839422/9aa96799.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gingerhill Farm Retreat.

Jan 29, 2017 #### Beautiful and secluded The cottage is bright and airy, clean and comfortable. The open air kitchen and lanai are functional and have a view of the ocean in the distance. It is so peaceful, the only noises are from the birds and insects and nearby cows. The setting is beautiful but not far from lots of local attractions and Kobe is about 20 mins drive if you want the resort atmosphere. It is very tricky to find the first time -- make sure you ask for specific directions. I wouldn't recommend arriving at night the first time! ##### David T. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Kim C. Oct 15, 2015 #### Great location! I chose this place based on the reviews that talked about farm tours, fresh fruit, yoga, etc. I didn't realize there was a significant cost to these options. In the cottage is a list of the charges, similar to the mini-bar upselling at an expensive retreat. Because of that I did not participate in these extras. Once I adjusted, however, that did not diminish my enjoyment of this lovely little place. The setting is magical! I loved the little geckos who sneaked around us! I loved the outdoor shower. It is an incredible setting, surrounded by beautiful flowers, birds, amazing sunsets. It was a wonderful place in which to relax at the end of the day. ##### Kim C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce B.

It is a very quiet and peaceful place to stay.. A short 40 minute drive up to the lava fields, beaches, swimming, snorkeling, laying in the sand, soaking up the sun, and then return in the afternoon to a cooler lusher environment. It is the best of both worlds. I would definitely stay here again.. ##### Bruce B. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren W.

A place where you can connect with the heart of Mother Earth and let yourself be filled with her energies, which can be felt so strongly here and make everything bloom and thrive in abundance. The hosts Iris and Zech live and work here consciously, in devotion to nature and create an atmosphere of respect, trust and peace. I felt very safe there. Zech and Iris along with their team are very good, helpful and generous hosts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ##### Cora S.

The bed is extremely comfortable. The cabin is surrounded by the Hawaiian jungle which we loved. We enjoyed gorgeous sunsets over the ocean from the lanai/kitchen. It was really great to be cooking dinner outside while watching a sunset. The bed is actually a King rather than a Queen. We really enjoyed our stay but that's because we really enjoy being close to nature. We did find geckos and mosquitos and worms in the cabin occasionally but that's what happens when you're not trying to seal yourself off from nature. I recommend this place for the more adventurous couple/family. If you're looking for an air conditioned or heated, bug-free accommodation, this is not for you. ##### Dee N.

The beautiful gardens, tranquil setting, fantastic original artwork, organic and off-the-grid vibe, complete privacy, well stocked lanai kitchen and distant ocean and sunset views made it a lovely place to spend the day or return to after a busy day. All this, plus it's in a great area with endless opportunities to hike, shop, snorkel, eat, listen to music, check out farmers markets and coffee farms, and eat more. Iris, Zack and Spam the cat were great hosts; friendly, ready to help out and answer questions and provided the cottage with their own delicious fresh fruit and local coffee. Early morning yoga was the best! I would return here on my next trip to the Big Island without hesitation. Mahalo nui! ##### Laurie R.

Nov 6, 2017 #### Gingerhill Farm is a charming, ecologically and ethically inspiring 5 acres of working farm. The cabin is clean, light, and private, filled with art created by the painter Mayumi Oda, who started the farm seventeen years ago. We enjoyed the nightly symphonies of crickets and frogs and the daily songs from multitudes of birds, plus the great ocean view. We appreciated the tour of the grounds that Mayumi's son Zach gave us, showing us the many varieties of fruits and vegetables cultivated over the years. The family has built a unique, Zen-infused paradise, and we will surely return. ##### Mary E.

Clean, comfortable, private and peaceful. I've stayed at high end resorts, condos, well appointed homes and other cottages on the Big Island and in the future if I want to be anywhere near Kona this is where I'd definitely want to be. Hosts are hands off but available for any questions or needs and made me feel welcome. This is a very low key, chill place in a beautiful location. ##### jennifer r.

The cottage is lovely: a spare, simple aesthetic, yet completely comfortable, with Mayumis's amazing art and artistic touches throughout. The kitchen on the deck is perfect for simple meals. You are surrounded by lush tropical greenery: banana trees, avocado, papaya, ginger, bird of paradise and more. The only sounds you hear are the occasional cow moos and lovely frog chirps in the evening. The location is perfect : close to Kealakekua Bay and Honauanau for snorkeling. Captain Cook is 5 minutes away, with Choice Mart ( best grocery store ever!) and a green market on Sunday with a smaller one on Friday. The 1000 foot altitude means you get a little reprieve from the heat after sunset. Kona is a short 20 minute drive if you really need to go into town. Can't wait to come back! ##### Zuzana G.
