We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. It was peaceful and a nice getaway but still close enough to Hilo. The view of the ocean every morning as the sun rises is so special. We loved meeting all the adorable chickens and ducks. The accommodation itself is simple but functional with all needed amenities. Host was awesome!
Amazing views, friendly ducks, lovely outdoor space to watch sunrise and ocean. We bought fresh eggs from host and they were delicious. Would stay here again.
We arrived at night, it was very dark, there were no outdoor lights. However waking up to chickens and geese at our front door was quite lovely. The kitchen amenities was very minimal, bring tea towels, and sharp knives. The electrical in the place was a concerning and could be a fire hazard, the outlets had numerous power cords running into various appliance etc. Other than that it was fairly close to Hilo.
A beautiful and peaceful experience. We loved our time at the Hawaiian Farmstay Guesthouse.
Surprised to see an over-friendly dog who jumped on me and scratched me, 1 window screen was missing, 2 window screens were torn/broken, asked for check in directions a week in advance and did not receive, instructions did not include the lock code to use (got from neighbor who checked in the night before as they were entering the same time we were), sheets for the pull out sofabed were not in the unit until we asked for some, there were only 2 big and 2 small towels when we mentioned there would be 4 of us, gas stove did not light even when using the bbq lighter, sink and cabinets were outdated and didn't match any theme, the backyard had lumber and stuff tossed in the back, no lighting when walking after dark and the lights on the car is turned off, cockroaches found in utensil container on the countertop, could not determine how far to walk on property because it was not clear, and the mandarin oranges was the only fruit available to pick.
This was perfect for us. We needed a place close to a wedding we were attending. We struggled a little with the sofa bed but the other bed was comfortable. The view is incredible.
Peaceful and relaxing
and, if not bothered by other things below, it may be worth it to you for the view alone. Cons: The studio is right next to the owners' house. Owners and friends park right up against the studio on the side with two windows. They also pull directly in front of the studio. We were awakened after 11 pm by car lights (you cannot close all shades/curtains as there is no AC). Kitchen has bare minimum--you would have difficulty cooking a full meal. Farm to Table meal mentioned is no longer offered. Hard to explore the farm as there is no map or signs and we didn't know what belonged to the neighbors.
Just needs a dish towel, floor mat for the inside, and maybe another set of bath towels. All minor issues the place is beautiful. We will definitely be staying here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is absolutely beautiful, perfect for nature lovers!
The view is unmatched
