Lovely garden cottage, Hamakua waterfall district, 100% solar

Secluded Ohana (1/1 Cottage) with Superb Ocean Views on Gorgeous Hamakua Coast Estate – The Garden House Hideaway
Constructed of Indonesian hardwoods, this fully furnished Studio Ohana sits on the beautifully landscaped grounds of an estate overlooking the beautiful Hamakua Coast. Just 25 minutes from Hilo, the property enjoys sweeping views across fields and trees down to the ocean with spectacular sunrises. A variety of organic fruits, vegetables and exotic plantings fill this 3-½ acre property, and a small flock of sheep resides, picturesquely, in the pasture. A relaxing, aesthetic & truly Hawaiian experience, perfect for anyone seeking privacy & nature.

There is also a small coffee orchard. Guests are welcome to pick their own coffee beans in season to take home. They must be dried and roasted before ending up in your cup.

This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the splendor of one of the Big Islands premier – and most sought after – locations. . The estate is completely off-grid but with all amenities available for a luxurious ‘living green’ experience - a fully self sustaining property.

We were on island for hectic business so to come back to this off grid cottage with Mary and Copper and the sheep was perfect. Enough kitchen to prep our own meals. Puzzles to build, comfy bed. What more do you need?! Definitely will go back

Birthday weekend in paradise

Mary’s cottage was the perfect place to call home for a birthday weekend where we wanted to unplug and refresh. Such a quaint space and a great location to explore the eastern side of the island. She had great recommendations and made us feel right at home.

The property is very well maintained, very clean, and Mary provided everything we could need during our stay. She was an excellent host, and the cottage was decorated to make us feel welcome and at home.

Property was very convenient to Honoka' and other parts of Hawaii; internet connection was great.

We were delighted with Honoka'a and enjoyed an evening at a ranch west of Waimea, day trips to Kona, Hilo, a tropical garden, Hilo Farmer's market, and Captain Cook monument (for two of us hikers). The accommodations were great for 6 adults. Also enjoyed the oranges off the tree in the backyard.

Experiencing Hawaii’s natural beauty

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much! Mary, our hostess was delightful, welcoming and helpful! The cottage was so tastefully done and it felt like we were in a park with beautiful foliage and flowers that Mary created! From the Tea Room, we saw beautiful sunrises over the ocean!! We would definitely love to stay there again🌺

An absolutely wonderful opportunity to "reset" ourselves!

This hidden gem is a little off the beaten path, but so worth every bit! Cell phone coverage is spotty, depending on carrier, but the views and atmosphere more than made up for it! The owner, Mary, and her dog, Copper, were delightful and made our stay even more pleasant! 10/10 would stay here again!

Beautiful and relaxing getaway!

Mary has beautiful property and is a very nice host. She gave us a tour of her property and gave us our privacy for our stay. The home is well kept with a great outdoor shower! This vacation home is "off grid" so do not expect to be surfing the Internet or making calls. Great place to stay if you want to escape the busy city life and enjoy driving!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Garden Cottage. A nice quiet place to relax after a day out and about. Cottage was about 20-25mins drive to Hilo. The instructions for getting to the cottage were very easy to follow and we had no problem getting there. Overall a very nice relaxing place to stay. Thanks Mary and Copper.

Away from it all

This off grid garden hideaway was perfectly decribed by Mary, our host. We didn't mind being away from wifi or cell phone service; it was a relief. The cottage is lovely and nicely appointed and was far from the main road, so quiet. Thank you for your hospitality Mary!

Beautiful and Serene Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Mary's garden cottage in Ninole. It's the perfect spot if you want to enjoy some quiet time and gorgeous view of the ocean. It was also a good experience for us to be "off grid" and be cautious of water and power usage. The cottage was well appointed and Mary was an excellent and interesting host. Also loved her well behaved dog, Copper! Click the button and stay!!!

Heaven on Earth

I took a 10-day solo trip to the big island for my 30th birthday. I wanted something that honored the natural beauty of Hawai’i. Mary’s Garden House hideaway was exactly that. The views from her lovely home were incredible and the location allowed me to see more of the east side of the island during this trip. I already can’t wait to return to see Hawai’i, Mary, and her sweet dog, Copper. A hui hou.
