Aloha!
Our country estate is in Onomea, 6 miles north of Hilo, on 5 tropical acres with garden and ocean views. Onomea Guest Suite is a private cottage with garden views of flowering royal Poinciana trees, sweeping monkey pod trees, mango, lychee, mountain apple trees, coconut palms, and many varieties of other palms. The most repeated description by our guests is 'peaceful'. The suite has a studio layout... bedroom, living room and kitchenette all in one ample main space, and a lovely stone-tiled bath with high ceilings and gorgeous light. Guests love the shower which feels like its outdoors because of all the high windows above the shower space. The covered lanai is enjoyable rain or shine for dining or relaxing. Our royal palm-lined road is one of the loveliest in all of Hawaii. Artists frequently come to paint it! Within walking distance is the old donkey trail to Onomea Bay, a breathtaking bay along the old Scenic Highway. You can also walk to the Hawaii Botanic Gardens and What's Shakin' Smoothie Stand (fresh fruit smoothies, wraps, sandwiches, coffee, tea.....)and by car, we are equi-distant to Volcano National Park, Waipio Valley and Mauna Kea Visitors Center, just of many other attractions in the area. (see more below at 'Things to Do').
A queen bed, plus a twin bed provides a comfortable sleeping for up to three. The kitchenette has enough cooking appliances that you won't miss the stovetop or oven. You'll find the barbecue on your lanai and many kitchen appliances on the countertop or in the cabinets.

A few notes about our guest suite....and us! .......
Our guest space was completed in March 2011, a project lovingly created over two years. The bathroom and shower are wheelchair accessible and there are no steps between parking and entry to suite. My wife and I live in the main house which is an entirely separate building attached by a breezeway and a central courtyard with a fishpond and burbling fountain. I am usually available to help you with directions, dining suggestions or simply to come up with extra pillows!
By car, within 10 minutes, are the magnificent 419 foot high Akaka Falls, the charming village of Honomu; and the nearby city of Hilo, center of commerce on the east slope of Mauna Kea and home to the renowned Hilo Farmers Market.
Some other activities we recommend you think about during your stay, here on the east side of the Island of ...

The Garden Cottage was everything advertised and more! Conveniently located for several tourist activities including Volcanoes National Park, Hawaiian Botanical Garden, Onomea Bay, impressive waterfalls, horseback riding and more. The host was very accommodating with great recommendations for restaurants and activities. Highly recommend! Thank you for a peaceful and relaxing stay!

Our group (3 adults) had a great time staying here for 2 nights. I only wish we could have stayed longer! Definitely the most peaceful place I stayed in Hawaii.

This was the perfect place to escape the Big Island crowds. Very quiet and wonderful place to relax.

The Garden Suite was exactly as described in the listing and the pictures showed clearly what to expect. We stayed two full weeks and had a wonderful time using the location as a base from which to see the Big Island. The beds were very comfortable and the morning sunshine through the trees made the beginning of every day special. The Suite is very well-equipped, private and Randall goes the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need for a perfect vacation. He is also available to answer questions and offer suggestions for day trips. His generosity and attentiveness made our stay delightful. If you love the experience of staying in a sub-tropical rainforest along with all the creatures found there, this may be the Big Island place you have dreamed of finding.

Randall is an accessible and welcoming host. The Garden Suite is a well constructed and beautifully appointed place. It has everything we needed for our four night stay. A location is ideal - very quiet yet close to Hilo, waterfalls and the botanical garden.

Stunning sunrises from the lanai, and a beautiful space to enjoy the islands! Spacious bathroom and nice open layout for the main room. We loved that our stay felt very private away from the hustle and noise of the city even though Hilo was a short 15 minutes away. Would definitely stay again, and highly recommend!

This is a beautiful location. We only stayed two nights and pretty much were on the go the whole time. So, we basically only showered and slept. But, it was very peaceful and I loved hearing all the surrounding sounds of nature. Would definitely recommend.
