About this property

Private Tropical Guesthouse in Hilo with AC & Lush Gardens

  • Welcome to Tropical Retreat Guest House

    Escape to your own peaceful tropical retreat in beautiful Hilo, Hawaiʻi.

    Surrounded by lush tropical gardens, palms, fruit trees, and the sounds of nature, our private guesthouse offers a quiet place to relax while keeping you just minutes from downtown Hilo, Rainbow Falls, Kaumana Caves, restaurants, shopping, and many of East Hawaiʻi's favorite destinations.

    Whether you're starting the morning with coffee on your private deck, walking through the tropical gardens, or relaxing after a day exploring the island, our goal is to give you a comfortable place that feels like your own little piece of Hawaiʻi.

    YOUR PRIVATE TROPICAL RETREAT

    The guesthouse is a fully independent private home with its own entrance and living spaces, giving you the freedom and privacy to enjoy your vacation at your own pace.

    Inside, you'll find a comfortable, thoughtfully maintained space with air conditioning, a full kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi, washer and dryer, and everything you need to feel at home during your stay.

    Outside is where the Tropical Retreat experience really comes to life.

    Step into the surrounding gardens and enjoy tropical plants, palms, flowers, and peaceful pathways throughout the property. Relax on your private deck, enjoy the fresh Hilo air, or spend some quiet time in our screened garden house listening to the sounds of nature.

    PEACEFUL, YET CLOSE TO HILO

    One of the things our guests love most about our home is the peaceful setting.

    You can enjoy the feeling of being tucked away in tropical Hawaiʻi without giving up the convenience of being close to town.

    Rainbow Falls is approximately a six-minute drive away, Kaumana Caves is about five minutes away, and Hilo International Airport is approximately 17 minutes from the property.

    Downtown Hilo, restaurants, farmers markets, beaches, waterfalls, shopping, and other East Hawaiʻi attractions are all within easy reach.

    The guesthouse also makes a wonderful home base for exploring Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and the many waterfalls, rainforest trails, botanical gardens, scenic drives, and coastal areas found throughout East Hawaiʻi.

    A PLACE TO SLOW DOWN

    This property is especially well suited for couples, solo travelers, and guests looking for somewhere peaceful to return to after exploring the island.

    Wake up to the sounds of Hawaiʻi's tropical environment, enjoy a slow morning surrounded by greenery, and come home after a day of adventure to your own comfortable retreat.

    We want you to feel like you're staying in Hawaiʻi, not simply sleeping here.

    LOCAL HOSTS, HERE WHEN YOU NEED US

    We love sharing our island with our guests and are always happy to recommend our favorite restaurants, waterfalls, beaches, scenic drives, farmers markets, and local places that you may not discover in a typical visitor guide.

    At the same time, we respect your privacy and allow you to enjoy the property and your vacation at your own pace.
