9/10 Wonderful! (75 reviews)

I loved my stay in the bamboo cabin at Gingerhill Farms! The staff was so sweet and helpful and the cabin suited my purposes perfectly. The grounds are a gorgeous lush forest full of fruit trees that is so lovely to walk around. I would recommend it to everyone who has an appreciation of nature and the outdoors :)

10/10 Exceptional! (6 reviews)

Perfect location on the big Island. Walk-able to some beaches, good driving access to the north, to Hilo and Kona area. Dry and desert like for 20 miles beyond the resort oasis but lush forests further afield. The property was nicely furnished and decorated, very clean and comfortable.

We discovered this serene little beach last month. After turning off the highway there is a 2 mile drive over rocky unpaved terrain, but if you take it slow any kind of car should be able to traverse it. Our compact rental car did great. There is a parking area, and then a trail through the lava fields to the beach
