We offer an individual detached self contained bedroom (hexagon) with full bathroom and a kitchenette. To start your day at the village, enjoy a breath taking sunrise from the ocean while been entertained by the view of our young future forest. Be amazed by knowing that the heat from your hot shower comes from the sun energy and the rain is the provider of water for all the bungalows. Feel the aroma of the fruit trees surrounding your bungalow while resting in one of our hand made hummocks.. Enjoy the presence of many native birds playing, eating and nesting in our more than a thousand already planted young trees. If you want to be more adventurous, take a walk to admire the view of the Volcano Mauna Kea while visiting a beautiful water fall or take a pick of a cacao farm where they make chocolate. All of these just 5 miles from Hilo. Take a 15 minutes drive to Hilo and jump in the water for a fabulous snorkeling at a black sand beach or walk around to enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants that are available. In this busy world or ours, we want to invite you to get refuged in 20 acres of land that are dedicated to preserve and honor Mother Nature.

Oct 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect!! I loved everything about this property. It was close enough to Hilo to be convenient, but also far enough out of town to feel serene and peaceful. The place was sparkling clean and well-designed with all the amenities you'd expect, while remaining true to its eco-friendly claims. My favorite part was swinging in the hammock watching sunset, and picking fresh lychees off the trees. I'd highly recommend!! ##### Amanda N.

Sep 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfectly secluded, quiet, and just the right size I was as impressed with the set-up of this quaint eco-bungalow as I was with the stunning sunrise views. The check-in process was painless, the host was communicative, and the small bungalow was clean and well-stocked. Despite its small size, there wasn’t a single item my husband and I found ourselves in want of during our short stay. They could have easily relied on the location and views alone to make our stay memorable, but the thoughtful additions of tea, oatmeal, slippers, a compost bucket, and even aloe vera were such a pleasant surprise. I’m so happy with this find, and would gladly recommend to any single or couple looking for a peaceful place in the upper hills of Hilo. ##### Jenny Beth S. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin C., Los Angeles Mar 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Friendly stay with a view of the town The owners are very friendly, we let them know when we were coming and they greeted us when we arrived to walk through the property. In the morning we were greeted with spectacular views of Hilo and fresh bananas from the garden. This property is great for eco-conscious visitors, as the owners make great efforts to reduce their impact on the environment and teach visitors about their efforts as well. A few things to note: despite being about 3 miles outside of Hilo, it takes a solid 10-15 minutes to get to town since the private road is one-lane and winds through adjacent farmlands. Also, coqui frogs are in the neighborhood and you will hear them at night. They sounded nice to us visitors but earplugs might be useful if you have the windows open. ##### Kevin C.
