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.

Proof of having received a covid vaccine is required.

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.

Beautiful cottage on a beautiful property with views down to the ocean. The grounds are exquisitely maintained with choice flowering trees, bushes and flowers. Inside the cottage was large and comfotable. We loved the indoor/outdoor bathroom! We had a wonderful visit.

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.

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.

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🌺
