This charming and spacious Garden Hale Apartment is situated on a lush two acres on the sunny side of Waimea (Kamuela)
Our peaceful retreat is the perfect location for exploring the numerous points of interest on the Big Island and a private getaway to relax and experience 'Hawaiian Time'.
It features beautiful bamboo and stone floors, 9 feet ceilings with fans, and a private lanai and outdoor seating and grilling. A fully stocked kitchen with a full size refrigerator, large convection oven and two state of the art induction cooktops. The bedroom features a comfortable queen size bed with upscale linens. Private outdoor shower garden. Free parking is provided.
You will find yourself just minutes away from the best beaches on the Big Island. The largest of Hawaii Island’s white sand beaches, Hapuna Beach, has consistently been rated on numerous international Top Ten lists. Mauna Kea Beach, a perfect crescent of golden sand leading to calm water, has been voted among the Top 10 beaches in the U.S. Both offer great conditions for swimming, sunbathing, body boarding and snorkeling.
Beyond the beaches, Hawaii offers a host of outdoor activities and sightseeing opportunities. Head to Waimea and visit the many shops and galleries.
Waimea Town is the perfect starting point for a trip to the Volcano National Park. A memorable drive to Hilo along the Hamakua Coast offers breathtaking views of historic Waipio Valley. This area is also home to Akaka Falls, one of Hawaii's most famous. You'll see deep water-carved gulches and valleys, thick with tropical foliage. Stop and tour gardens full of exotic plants and orchids.
For adventure of a higher nature, the 13,700 foot summit of Mauna Kea provides dramatic scenery and an unforgettable visitor experience. The W. M. Keck Observatory provides a visitor’s gallery with exhibits describing astronomy research and star gazing.
There's no better way to experience the amazing cultural diversity of Hawaii Island than to visit one of the farmers’ markets that take place all around the island. You’ll find fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables used in Hawaii Regional Cuisine, exotic varieties that are as intriguing as they are tasty plus an eclectic collection of prepared foods. The market is also a great place to pick up handmade artwork or a unique gift and strike up a conversation with the artist who made them.
When you're ready for some relaxation, come home to Garden Hale.

Wonderful 6-night stay at Garden Hale! The Hale was exceptionally clean, beautifully appointed, and very comfortable. Rose and Matt responded quickly to all communications (mahalo for the personalized aloha message; that was an extra-nice touch!). Perfect location for accessing Waikoloa beaches, as well as exploring North Kohala (lots of great areas), Honoka'a, Waipio Valley Lookout, and Saddle Road hikes. We would definitely stay at Garden Hale again. It was very quiet and peaceful.

We were on the Big Island for a memorial service. We were close to the Harbor and beaches as well as the town of Waimea where you can buy groceries. The location was perfect and so quiet. The stars at night were amazing. Matt was a great host and we would stay there again in a heartbeat. The grounds on the property are beautiful.

Lovely property in secluded rural location. Nicely decorated, well equipped, and very clean. Easy drive to town for shopping and restaurants. All the amenities we needed (although we did not see the washer and dryer that were mentioned in the listing). Lovely private outdoor patio, surrounded by vegetation, although this meant no real view. Great place for a relaxing winter getaway.

Loved the trees, flowers, and waking up to the birds in the morning! Matt and Rose were friendly and responsive hosts. Unit was clean and comfortable. There was even a USB cable for convenient streaming from my laptop. Would definitely stay here again!

Matthew and Rose were attentive and helpful owners who are onsight... but not up in your business :)
I enjoyed the cleanliness of the property most, crisp white towels and linens are a must for me! Bed was pretty comfortable, furniture throughout unit was so cozy and comfortable. The place was well put together so it was very inviting. The unit is equipped with full size fridge, a water filter pitcher, and plenty of dishes. WiFi worked great, the fans cooled the unit down wonderfully. Hands down best feature: there is zero light pollution so the stars at night are amazing! Everything is about a 15-25 min drive away so this was perfect for me to get Away for awhile! I would absolutely stay again!

Matthew was quick to communicate with us by text and email. He lives on the property in another building and shared citrus fruits with us from his small orchard. The property has a variety of interesting plants and areas to relax in hammocks. BBQ and beach equipment were ready for our use. The area is cooler at this elevation than at the coast and only a 10 minute drive to Hapuna beach. Great for exploring the north end of the island. Without being too harsh the only negative was that we found the king bed the least comfortable of the four places we stayed.
