Opened for guests in 2010, the original HULILI FARM COTTAGE (pronounced who-lee-lee) has welcomed so many wonderful guests that it became time to enable more people to enjoy the farm. Please check out our Pineapple Cottage listing (#1355789) to see which cottage best suits your needs.
Guests rave about the 'SWEEPING, UNSPOILED, TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY VIEW' in every direction! The sun and moon rise over the ocean as you watch the wonders unfold from your comfy rocking chair OR swinging bed on the lanai. Birdsong is the beautiful sound track on this private farm located at the end of a dead end country road. Relax as you walk through the orchards and please, sample the fruit...that's when it is best!
The COTTAGE is bright, clean, and furnished with all you will need. The 'BAMBOO SLEEPING CHAMBER' offers a KING size 'sleep number' bed with dual controls for firmness. A FULL size futon is inside, and outside on the LANAI is the QUEEN size 'HANGING BED'. (This bed has become a favorite with our guests, who sleep, nap, read and talk while swaying in the breeze, taking in the beauty.) Walk-in shower and pedestal sink in the cottage bath. Laundry facilities, with all supplies, are available for our guests and just steps away from the cottage.
A huge AVOCADO tree hugs the patio next to the lanai. We have named her, MS. CADDO. You may taste her fruits in season and almost always there will be a stalk of 'apple' bananas hanging from her branches. Bring some groceries and you are ready to settle in.
We encourage you to take the time to read our GUEST COMMENTS. They paint a true picture of their stay at Hulili Farm. Here is seclusion, peace and quiet on a tropical farm 'paradise'.
The ultimate guidebook: 'HAWAII, THE BIG ISLAND REVEALED' is in the cottage for your use while exploring.
While most guests come to the farm to get away from their busy lives, for those who still want to maintain some connection, we have recently updated our internet and now offer fiber-internet on the farm. But we won’t tell your boss that!
Have fun!
Our Aloha,
Todd and Madeleine

This location is located in a very beautiful iconic countryside of the big island of Hawaii. My girls were very excited about what we were staying at. The views are amazing. Your living in nature well enjoying in comforts of home. The hosts were very friendly. They even brought us over some fresh cut apple bananas and hung them from the avocado tree for us. When we come back we will definitely be booking here again. I would like to thank the host for sharing their beautiful country home with us.

This is a great place to stay to get away from it all! Close enough to Hilo to get back into the all of you want. We also wound up driving north around the island to the west side a bit more than towards Hilo.
Just sitting on the porch and looking out at the sky & ocean was so peaceful. Wish we had better weather. Got 1.5 sunrises and one night starry sky out of 7 nights but, that was only the fault of Mother Nature. Still so peaceful in the rain.
The cottage itself is fine for two people, tho I can’t imagine a third person being comfortable.
The only thing I did not know about before booking from reading reviews, was that the ginger cottage was right next to the main house.
Not sharing a wall, but a car port. They have tried to do a good job separating it and noise was only an issue a few times, we did not even bring it up since it was my fault for possibly not asking that question before booking. As I saw nothing about it being so close to the main house in reviews. And many other places we looked at it was a very obvious.
The pineapple cottage is a bit more on its own. I would probably book that one next time.
Great hosts! Thank you again.

Short drive from town, hosts were wonderful sharing some great suggestions for visiting. This property is not your typical vacation spot, perfect for couples or those that don't want a lot of other tourists. You can come & go as you please. Loved our stay!!

Thank you Todd and Madeline for the most relaxing and beautiful five days on the big island. It has been so nice to spend each morning and evening sitting in these rocking chairs watching the orchards and oceans. We have slept great on your comfy bed each night. You are such a sweet, friendly, hard-working family, and it has been a pleasure meeting you both, the kids, the dogs, and, the neighbors duck. We have been adventuring nonstop doing amazing activities for four days. Today, the last day, we wanted to spend it here on the lanai, best day ever! Thank you for an 40th anniversary trip we will never forget. Also, thank you for the muffins, the delicious eggs and the avocados. The last night we stayed up the latest and we watched the most amazing stars from the lanai. It was like being at a planetarium; we ended with a bang. Thank you again, the Greers. PS — The cottage is so much larger than the pictures show, we were also surprised by the huge wardrobe and dresser space. It helped as spread out and feel at home instead of living out of a suitcase. Perfect setup!

Off the beaten path but able to readily access the sites of Hilo, Volcanoes NP, Puna and the Hamakua Coast. If you want to enjoy a little bit of rural Hawaii, this is a great place to stay.

Madeleine has created a private retreat on her farm. The property was well-equipped and super clean. We enjoyed sleeping on the lanai on the bed that is suspended from the ceiling. The location is good for exploring the Hamakua coast. We also were happy to chill out on the farm and enjoy the view.

My wife and I couldn't have been more happy with the hosts and the property. Everything was very well kept and the farm has some of the best sunrises we've seen. Would highly recommend!

We love staying here! It is quiet, peaceful and has an awesome view! A great place to have some downtime. For those who want to explore the island a bit it’s a great location. Out in the country but not that far away to explore restaurants and shopping. We have stayed here multiple times and always are sad to leave!
