OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:

☀︎ Hilo Downtown & Airport - 30 min drive

☀︎ Kona Airport is 1hr45 min scenic drive through Waimea & Honokaa

☀︎ Volcanos National Park - 1 hr 14 min
(Being on Lava Zone 8 we are always safe from eruptions & due to our windward location we do not experience Vog even during eruptions & you get to breath the cleanest, freshest air on the planet all year round)

☀︎ Laupahoehoe Beach Park - 10 min
(Closest place for a quick a dip at the ramp or tide pools great for big wave watching)

☀︎ Kalopa State Park - 15 min
(for Hiking trails and unique tropical botanic treasures)


☀︎ Akaka Falls, Umauma Falls & Zipline & Botanical World Adventures - 15 min

☀︎ Waipio Valley & Historic Honokaa Town - 20 min


☀︎ Gorgeous ocean front property. It is located in
North Hilo on the cliffs of Hamakua Coast that boasts of the most beautiful ocean views on the Island

☀︎ The property is set in tropical nature so expect to occasionally spot little bugs or critters. Hawaii does not have any poisonous creatures not even snakes! So please do not worry if you see something you've never seen before, like the Madagascar Day Gecko :) They're very beautiful, friendly and only eat bugs.

☀︎ Wild chickens are a real thing and roosters crowing or sounds of coqui frogs at night is quite common on the coast.

☀︎Comprehensive Cleaning Services: Thorough cleaning before your arrival and after your departure ensuring a pristine environment throughout your visit.

☀︎ Checkout our guidebook for nearby waterfalls, black sand beaches, scenic drives & food places

☀︎We are located at 500ft elevation & temperatures stay approximately between 67 & 81 degrees F & with constant trade winds we do not need air conditioning but there is a ceiling fan in the bedroom.

☀︎ We recommend bringing & drinking bottled water at all times.

☀︎This is one of 3 cottages & outdoors space is shared with other guests.

As a registered vacation rental in Hawaiʻi, we’re required to maintain basic guest records - including names and valid government-issued IDs for all adult guests. This is similar to hotel check-in requirements and helps us stay compliant with local laws, taxes, and emergency procedures.

We are primarily focused on Agri-Tourism, Spirituality & Art showcasing; regenerative farming, permaculture, sustainability & art in a spiritual, yogic & relaxing environment. Farm to Table meals, Sunrise over the Ocean & Shooting Stars at Night. We also offer farm tours & Art sessions for a richer Hawaiian Experience.

What makes this property unique

We welcome all plant, nature, Art & spirituality enthusiasts on our farm and share our dream & knowledge with them. Our farm is only 4 years old but with our hard work and commitment we have achieved a lot and already producing a lot food on this farm.

We use our vegetable garden to grow Eggplants, Tomatoes, Edible & Medicinal Herbs, Greens, perennial spinach, Sweet potatoes, Taro. Also have Kobocha pumpkin patches spread around the farm.

We have multiple mature fruit trees like Banana, Avocados, Pineapples, Lychee, Longon, Tangerines, lemons, Calamansi, Guavas, Lilikoi (Passionfruit), Dragon Fruit, Jackfruit, Star Fruit, Soursop (2022 first fruiting season), Papayas, Coconuts, Malabar chestnut, Bilimbi, Surinam Cherry & Coffee.

We have also planted more tropical grafted trees that are already 2 to 3 years old. Some of these trees include Mango, avocado, more citrus & cacao.

We practice various permaculture practices on the farm and hope to fulfill our dream of becoming self-sufficient & provide affordable/free food to our community. Our animal manure & organic waste goes to feed our trees. We rely on rainwater catchment and our grey water is diverted to water our plants. Our chickens are free ranging mostly fed from food scraps from the farm.

Our Art Cafe is a cool rustic hangout spot constructed from recycled sustainable materials & provides space to get your creative juices flowing. We provide paints, canvas & various other supplies.

Make yourself a nice cup of hot chocolate and hangout at our deck for stargazing at night. The milky way galaxy is fully visible in our sky due to very little light pollution. You will most likely see and wish upon a shooting star! If you're visiting in August, the Perseid meteor shower will take your breath away.

There is also a private access to some secluded waterfalls from the property. You can get adventurous and hike down and spend the day exploring and swimming in waterfalls.
