About this property

Lovely garden cottage, Hamakua waterfall district, 100% solar

Secsluded Ohana (1/1 Cottage) with Superb Ocean Views on Gorgeous Hamakua Coast Estate – The Garden House Hideaway
Constructed of Indonesian hardwoods, this fully furnished Studio Ohana sits on beautifully landscaped grounds of an estate overlooking the beautiful Hamakua Coast. Just 25 minutes from Hilo, the property enjoys sweeping views across fields and trees down to the ocean with spectacular sunrises. A variety of organic fruits, vegetables and exotic plantings fill this 3-½ acre property, and a small flock of sheep resides, picturesquely, in the pasture. A relaxing, aesthetic & truly Hawaiian experience, perfect for anyone seeking privacy & nature.

There is also a small coffee orchard. Guests are welcome to pick their own coffee beans in season to take home. They must be dried and roasted before ending up in your cup.

This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the splendor of one of the Big Islands premier – and most sought after – locations. . The estate is completely off-grid but with all amenities available for a luxurious ‘living green’ experience - a fully self sustaining property.

Mary was a wonderful host. The cottage was peaceful and exactly what we needed. She met us personally, showed us around her property, and even took time to share her homesteading experience when we expressed interest. She had so many resources available for guests like books, beach equipment, and local recommendations. The location feels beautifully remote, driving through fields past cows and horses to get there; but it’s still not far from anything you’d need. We hope to make it back someday.

Mary and her wonderful property really made our trip. The cottage was beautiful and stocked with everything we could need. The gardens, the views, taking our morning coffee in the tea house, it was all outstanding. Mary made checking in and out a breeze. Highly recommend staying with her on your next trip to Hawaii.

We had the best time at Ms. Mary’s cottage. The location is spectacular and the views are even better! Being “off grid” was a new thing for me but it was a pleasant experience! The feeling of calm and peace was amazing! Mary is the sweetest! She gave us a tour of the property and told us about each tree and plant! If I ever get a chance to return to the Big Island I would certainly stay here again! Thank you Mary for being an amazing host and sharing the beauty of your property with Cindy and I!

We were on island for hectic business so to come back to this off grid cottage with Mary and Copper and the sheep was perfect. Enough kitchen to prep our own meals. Puzzles to build, comfy bed. What more do you need?! Definitely will go back

Birthday weekend in paradise

Mary’s cottage was the perfect place to call home for a birthday weekend where we wanted to unplug and refresh. Such a quaint space and a great location to explore the eastern side of the island. She had great recommendations and made us feel right at home.

Property was very convenient to Honoka' and other parts of Hawaii; internet connection was great.

We were delighted with Honoka'a and enjoyed an evening at a ranch west of Waimea, day trips to Kona, Hilo, a tropical garden, Hilo Farmer's market, and Captain Cook monument (for two of us hikers). The accommodations were great for 6 adults. Also enjoyed the oranges off the tree in the backyard.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much! Mary, our hostess was delightful, welcoming and helpful! The cottage was so tastefully done and it felt like we were in a park with beautiful foliage and flowers that Mary created! From the Tea Room, we saw beautiful sunrises over the ocean!!
