We stayed for two nights at this lovely bnb and my only wish is that we stayed longer. We stayed in the larger two bedroom room and it acccommodated the three of us very comfortably. The room was clean and inviting and had nice spots outside to sit and read and soak up some sunshine. It was only minutes drive... More

We just spent 5 nights with Laura and Garvin near Hilo. They are a few minutes from Hilo and their farm is lovely. We stayed in the Hilo bay room which has a great view of Hilo harbour. Our room was much nicer than the one we had at Hilton Hawaiian village and was bigger than our first apartment! Everything... More

It was an unexpected find for us and we highly recommend people to stay here when they are visiting Hilo. It is a ten minute... More

The view of Hilo Bay from the patio was amazing. Laura and Garvin really went out of their way to accommodate my gluten-free diet; Laura's made-from-scratch pancakes were awesome!! The breakfasts...

All the best: view, breakfast, information, friendliness and knowlege of the island. Garvin and Laura know how and what to do to make one feel comfortable, but more importantly, wanted. Impeccable cleanliness, great home grown fruits, fresh pastries, home raised eggs combine to make a memorable experience. Absolutely wonderful memories. Probably saying what others have said, but there is comfort... More
